The Garment District
Item Posted: MAR 6, 2008
A poor college student's dream come true, this warehouse-style vintage shop has two floors jam-packed with vintage clothes, costumes and accessories. Eclectic and funky, they call themselves the "alternative department store." Be ready to dig—but you can definitely find a gem. We got our high-school formal dress here: An empire-waist green velvet number—very Audrey! And don't miss the "world famous pile of clothing" for a dollar a pound.
Buying secondhand is one of the three R's—reuse, baby—so buy away: You're cutting down on waste and eliminating the resources, materials, energy and carbon emissions that go into producing a new product.
Note: Visit The Garment District at 200 Broadway, Cambridge, MA; 617-876-5230.
