Ranging from basic thrift shops like Goodwill and St. Vincent DePaul to more upscale vintage shops like Deluxe Fashion Shop and The Redoux Parlour, we have the low down on which stores are worth your time and what you might expect to find.

Many of the thrift shops around town also offer the chance to sell your clothing in exchange for store credit.

First on the list is Kitsh-22, located at 1022 Willamette St. This store is a bit more specialized than your average thrift shop, offering a mix of contemporary and vintage styles.

“We look for vintage pieces that are coming back into trend. Right now that’s ’90s and floral prints, basically the things everyone was wearing when I was in high school,” employee Rebecca Welton said.

Kitsh-22 is also a great store to check out if your looking for festival outfits for the upcoming term.

Next on the list is The Redoux Parlour, located on 780 Blair Blvd. The Redoux Parlour is a thrift shop, but also carries the work of 50 local designers. This shop is a bit different from your average thrift shop in that the store also offers sewing classes, alterations and repairs, as well as the chance to sell back your gently used clothes, according to their website.

Deluxe Fashion Shop, found at 1331 Willamette St. is another thrift shop worth checking out. Deluxe Fashion Shop has been around for many years, but was recently sold to Custom Cranium and will see some changes over the next few months. This thrift shop will begin a transformation in order to focus more closely on higher end vintage items and costuming, while becoming more of a boutique.

“We are going to be working less with the common items. Eugene is so saturated with thrift shops. There’s just way too much, so we are moving toward more of a boutique of local designers and costumers,” Deluxe Fashion Shop owner Travis Anderson said.

Lastly, if you are looking for basics at a great cost don’t forget to check out Goodwill and St Vincent DePaul. These are your go-to stores if you are looking for jeans to turn in to the perfect cutoffs, or any purchases you need to make for a themed party without breaking the bank. These stores, however, may take a bit longer to sift through seeing as there are loads and loads of items.
