Dean Capture & GEA

Buffalo Exchange has over 40 stores across the country, and in your humble narrator’s opinion, it’s one of the best places to find unique thrifted clothing on a budget. In addition to trending fashion, they often have an extensive selection of vintage wardrobe. When traveling, It was exciting to see the vintage Western collection in Albuquerque and discover up-and-coming designer prototypes in Los Angeles.

Although it can be hit or miss at any thrift store, as a self-proclaimed Buffalo Exchange aficionado (and a shopping addict who has been to almost every Buffalo Exchange in the country), this is one of my first stops whenever I travel. Besides finding interesting clothes – often having local aesthetic appeal – Buffalo Exchanges are usually in hip neighborhoods with cool shops, restaurants, and entertainment.

Favorite Buffalo Exchange Locations: Las Vegas, NV, Sherman Oaks, CA, Alburquerque, NM. New Orleans, LA.

Least favorite locations: New York City, NY, Boston, MA. Miami, FL (which is no longer in business, or in Martha Stewart’s words “she’s dead now, thank goodness”)
