Top Thrift Stores in Boulder

Something about this post makes me want to bust out a Macklemore song. Is it just me?

Who says you’ve got to shell out the big bucks to look fantastic? Sure, big time shops and designer retailers want you to think that great fashion comes with a hefty price tag, but that is simply not the case! Savvy shoppers know that right now, thrift stores are a wealth of great finds from vintage looks to slightly loved designer apparel.

Since Boulder shares space with some fairly successful entrepreneurs and fashionable college students, there are great finds to be had at some of Boulder’s most well-known thrift stores. Take a look at what they have to offer:

Goldmine Vintage

Located right on the Pearl Street Mall, this place is a hipster’s paradise. They’ve got everything from retro jackets to kitschy accessories and your favorite old school bands on vinyl. Goldmine is definitely a treasure trove of vintage finds.

Common Threads

This place offers uncommonly good prices for folks who want to look great, but have a pretty tight budget. Also, for those looking to make a few extra dollars, they offer consignment as well. Common Threads in Boulder is a great place to get fashionable finds for less. If you also love applying nail polish, you can buy their nail art brush for an affordable price.

Buffalo Exchange

Is this place part of a chain of thrift stores? Yes. Does that stop it from having one of the best sections of clothing in Boulder? Absolutely not! Whether you describe your look as Bohemian Punk or Neo Flapper, the chances of you finding the perfect outfit at Buffalo Exchange are pretty good.

Candy’s Vintage Clothing & Costumes

This place has been a staple in Boulder since 1977. If anyone gets the whole retro thing, it’s going to be these cats. Not only can you find some great old school pieces, you can also find some fantastic costumes and accessories! When it comes to vintage, Candy’s has it in the bag.
