We love living on Long Island and being a part of the community here! Whenever we get a free moment, we love to explore all of the fantastic fellow businesses in the area, and give them our support. So we thought it would be fun to highlight some fantastic thrift stores, antique shops, and vintage sellers in the area for “National Cherish An Antique Day”!
Shopping locally is a great way to consistently support our regional economy, and helps keep the unique charm of the area with Mom and Pop shops and independent retailers. Plus, buying things second hand and gently used is an awesome way to do your part in going green and caring for the environment! It’s a win-win all around.

Why buy secondhand vintage and antiques?
-
Secondhand goods are often up to 50% less expensive than purchasing new items.
-
Decreases negative impacts of fast-fashion and keeping items out of landfills by repurposing and upcycling gently used items.
-
Collecting unique and interesting aesthetics for your closet or your home that you can’t find anywhere else!
-
Snagging top quality items that are meant to last and can be passed down as heirlooms instead of mass manufactured merchandise from a big box store.
