Why vintage?

Vintage clothing was made with details, buttons and flourishes of extreme expertise and detail than you will not find in todays clothing stores. The patterns, textures and stitching are all made to last through the years.

Buying vintage helps the environment.

One of the best ways you can help lower your carbon footprint is to buy vintage. Buying "new" has a negative impact on our world through harmful emissions, sweatshop labor, as well as outsourcing to larger corporate based communities. When you buy vintage you are recycling. Your carbon footprint will thank you for it.

Vintage means quality.

Buying new means buying mass produced clothes. It's all in the details, and in each of these curated items you will see that quality surpasses quantity. Please take the time to look through each item to find the one that best represents your unique timeless style.

Vintage is an investment in your fashion.

Vintage clothing retains it's value. The moment you take the price tag off anything else it immediately is worth less. With Vintage there is a collectible market of buyers and sellers and so their value raises over time. Vintage is money well spent.

Keeping it Local.

When you purchase anything from Thrift Junkie Vintage Boutique you are helping a local business. Helping a local business means you are helping individual business owners in the community who then help local charities, schools and other community events. Local shops create distinctive shopping experiences that are based on what the community wants and needs. You are a much more valued customer at a local shop and the standard of service will be much greater than at a corporate business.

Hey Thrift Junkies, I am Lauren. I moved to Colorado Springs and immediately knew that this is where I would start my business. This amazing community seemed like the best place to set up some roots and get this business growing. I have lived all over the country and world collecting vintage pieces for my shop. From Missouri to California all the way over to Greece, Italy and Spain I have been ravaging thrift stores, estate sales, rummage piles, and clothing swaps to find the most unique vintage pieces to add to my collection. I am honored to set up shop here and get to share my ever expanding collection with you. Not only do I have vintage male and female clothing but also goods and accessories. I also would like to showcase some of the most talented jewelry makers, crafters, artists and vintage inspired goods and wares from the local community. Please come by and check out the shop.
