As a mom in Bed Stuy who is looking for one-of-a kind pieces that aren’t at the Gap, Uniqlo, Joe Fresh, Madewell, J. Crew, Top Shop, or H&M (have I made us all feel icky yet?) – I’ve compiled this list for you all of good vintage shopping in the neighborhood. Shopping at these stores is better for our environment, sense of individuality, health, wallets, and imagination. And you don’t need to worry about seeing another chic in your exact outfit on the subway or street if you shop for pieces dating back in history (and they might even be made in America!).
