Painted Bird Resale Store

Why It's Good:

This bright, airy boutique looks more like a mecca for indie designers than a haven for retro styles. With modern art installations on the walls and Billie Holiday playing in the background, you'll find yourself taking your time sifting through the unique and varied vintage finds. From perfectly kept gowns to designer handbags, it's impossible to walk away empty-handed. And if you think you have any oldies but goodies, bring them into the store for a possible sale or trade.

Why It's Green:

Look good and feel good, because reusing clothing is a form of recycling. When you reuse clothing you do the environment a favor because reused clothing requires no new materials, fuel, or energies for manufacturing; virtually the only environmental cost you pay is shipping.
