And while you maybe won\u2019t find a hidden Chanel tweed or a vintage Givenchy sport line polo (a real discovery at another secondhand shop), this spot is a great place for three things: basics at significantly lower prices, workwear, and unique, affordably priced luxury brands you may never have heard of.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re sifting through the racks at this new shop, it\u2019s definitely worth stopping if you see a unique texture, a splash of strange color or beadwork. While digging through the jackets, MySA spotted some steals \u2013 like a Tahari blouse for $9 (which can run you a couple hundred new) or a $400 Hickey Freeman blazer for about the same discounted price.<\/p>\n<p>There are contemporary brands \u2013 with retail prices that sit between mass-market fashion and luxury brands \u2013 as well as household names and mall favorites. Densely packed aisles of denim and shirts, in both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s sections, feature brands from Old Navy to obscure boutique brands out of California. And for the most part, these items, originally priced at $30 to $80, are being sold for $8.99.<\/p>\n<p>Again, it\u2019s largely going to serve those looking for office attire or casual weekend basics \u2013 a blazer and trousers or a T-shirt and jeans \u2013 but it\u2019s worth a visit to avoid a regrettable, overpriced fast-fashion purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, you\u2019re contributing to a good cause and to a local industry.

While nationally it could easily be chalked up to a recession indicator, it\u2019s been a hobby that unites San Antonio friends for years. With the uptick in interest, new stores are cropping up all over town \u2013 even new brands \u2013 but which ones are really worth your time?\u00a0MySA is diving deep into the growing list of thrift stores across the city and letting you know where to go. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On a 50%-off day, the Goodwill at 6363 Rittman Rd. was packed on a Friday early afternoon.
