Frida Bee resale shop

Why It's Good:

Originally a children's resale shop, Frida Bee has expanded to include adult resale, along with artwork and antiques. The selection is small, particularly the men's clothing, but items are charming and in good condition. This is an ideal shop for a mom looking to pick up some reasonably priced baby Burberry for her kids while nabbing a piece of artwork or a Marc Jacobs jacket for herself. They even carry some secondhand maternity wear.

Why It's Green:

What a great way to teach your kids about the three R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Take the kids to Frida Bee and they'll be so delighted with their new treasures, they'll understand why good things should be reused and never left to go to waste. Plus you can tell them that they've saved lots of stuff (materials, resources, carbon emissions) that goes into producing new things.

Where To Get It:

Visit Frida Bee at 1297 Cambridge Street, Inman Square, Cambridge, MA; 617-661-1967. For more information, see www.fridabee.com.
