Thrift-loving New Yorkers have robust opinions about which Beacon’s Closet location is superior. No matter whether or not you go into the Manhattan, Greenpoint, or Park Slope retailer, although, all will agree with this: Give your self ample time to browse. Whereas Beacon’s Closet gives among the finest cut price thrifting in New York, it additionally requires buyers to do essentially the most digging. (Although the racks are organized by product classes, colours, and gender, the sheer quantity of clothes and the combination of manufacturers — starting from quick trend to up to date, designer, and classic — is overwhelming to even essentially the most thrift-savvy.)
Do the work, although, and the pre-loved finds pay in dividends. On my final go to there, I noticed a $70 Jason Wu costume and a $50 Simone Rocha bag amongst different offers. Beacon’s Closet additionally has one of many largest — and most reasonably priced — picks of designer footwear. Assume: $45 Gucci sandals, $35 zebra-print Manolo Blahnik heels, and $70 Comme de Garçons sneakers. Whereas the circumstances range broadly, from pristine to seen-better-days, typically even essentially the most in-need-of-TLC pairs are nothing {that a} New York cobbler can’t repair. Years in the past, I purchased $15 satin Christian Louboutin kitten heels; a further $30 resole and paint touch-up turned them into one among my most-worn (and complimented on) pairs to this present day.
