Best Pluming Thrift
Thrifty Chicks Vintage and the Thrifty Peacock
We stumbled on Thrifty Chicks Vintage last year and were smitten by the curatorial sensibilities of the two women who opened the place. When we saw the prices, we were all wallets-open and stone-cold in love. Midcentury end tables bumped up against preppy armchairs and original paintings of sad clowns and The Angel of Leslie (Cochran, we think). Since then, the Chicks have moved and opened an, um, sister store that features vintage women’s clothing in – be still, our hearts – sizes 0-32, as well as a nice batch of men’s apparel. Their collective good eye is apparent in the selection – top-notch throwback clothing, Coach and Louis Vuitton bags, collectible figures, toys for kids – and the prices range from bargainistic to quite-reasonable-for-mint-designer-vintage. Lovers of the high-low will will want to shake a tail feather to both stores.
