Check out Thrift Collective to keep in the loop.

Thrift stores, once thought of as dusty places where the down-on-their-luck skulked for bargains, are gradually adding perks that impart a more-exclusive feel to the shopping experience, to the delight of patrons and proprietors alike.

“We’ve been really thrilled with the reaction of the customers,” said David Raper, the vice president for retail at Housing Works, a nonprofit helping people with H.I.V. or AIDS that has a dozen stores across the city. Power Hour tickets go on sale the Monday before each Buy the Bag event, he said, and have sold out every time. “For some people, early access and seeing the newest, hottest thing is really important,” Mr. Raper said.

Sip and Swap

Join us as we sip cocktails and trade gently used clothes, because as they say, “one fashionista’s trash is another fashionista’s treasure.

This is a perfect excuse to clean out your closet and to get some new clothes. The best part is, these new pieces won’t cost you a dime!*

Any items that do not find a new home will be donated to Housing Works.  RSVP here.

*CULTUREfix will offer special drink pricing – including an unlimited mimosa package.

THIS EVENT IS FOR WOMEN ONLY.
Must be 21 and older to attend.

New York City will launch one of the largest clothing recycling programs in the country starting this September. Under this program, around fifty collection bins will be placed in strategic locations around the city for people to conveniently donate clothing and shoes of any shape or state. The recycling program will be a big step towards a more sustainable urban ecosystem for the city, which witnessed over 190,000 tons of textiles dumped into its landfills in 2008. Some of the biggest names in non-profits including Goodwill Industries International and Wearable Collections are bidding to host the collection bins. Officials behind this recycling initiative say that if successful, it will influence other cities to undertake such programs.
