There is nothing quite like the thrill of thrift shopping!

Searching for hidden gems and finding nostalgia in a pile of cozy sweaters. The best part of shopping vintage and thrift finds is that it’s a beautiful eco-friendly way to reduce landfills and support the community. Now that we are in the middle of a season change it’s a perfect time to refresh the wardrobe in a sustainable way and downtown Kingston is the perfect place to fill your sartorial void! I checked in with owners of consignment shops, ClosettCandyy, Montreal Street Collective and Moxie and Mine to see how they can help you build your fall wardrobe with thrifted finds:
