Today’s Clothes, Yesterday’s Prices

We are much more than just a vintage shop! Our store’s largest department is contemporary clothing. Filled to the brim with garments from the past three years, our contemporary department has everything you need to keep up with current high trends – even on a low budget.

New items arrive daily, so you’ll see a different selection each time you visit. Whether you’re looking for business attire, casual apparel, or party clothes, we carry it all. We have women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, as well as a section of brand new apparel. The contemporary department is chock full of shirts, pants, jeans, sport coats, jackets, sweaters, skirts and dresses. We also stock seasonal garments like winter coats or summer shorts.

The majority of our contemporary clothing is gently used; some garments may even be unworn – with the original tags still attached. You’ll be amazed at the savings!

Fashionable footwear

Looking for sporty sneakers, dapper dress shoes, fierce flats and more? Look no further! We carry new and used shoes for both men and women. You’ll find all styles: cowboy boots, dress shoes, heels and pumps, flats, sneakers and athletic shoes, tux shoes, clogs, wedges, oxfords, go-go boots and more. You’ll also find seasonally-appropriate footwear – sandals in the summer and warm boots in the winter.

With styles ranging from the latest trends to classic designs, there’s always something for everyone. Whether you need shoes for everyday wear, a special occasion, or a costume, you’ll find it here.

We also have a section for men’s and women’s designer shoes. Our designer shoes are priced to sell, so you can treat your feet to designer luxury without shelling out hundreds of dollars per pair!

A unique and fun way to shop for clothing!

A unique and fun way to shop for clothing!

Every morning when the store opens we take an 850lb bale of clothing – snap open the wires and let the public shop. On Saturday & Sunday we put out multiple bales. Everything is mixed together – mens, women’s kids – every style and decade all mixed together. At various times of the week we fill tables with paired shoes, bric-a-brac, purses, bags & belts. You pay by weight, the cost is $2.00 per pound. It’s an unusual & fun way to shop and no two days are the same!

LOVE FOR THE DISTRICT

"What makes it 5 stars for me is when they didn't have a specific item I had been searching all over for, they were the only ones who were able to suggest an alternate location which actually did have the item. This may sound so small, but when every other place I've checked said "why don't you just google it?" Like I hadn't already thought of that. So thank you Garment District & Boston Costume for still being human beings."
