Review from Erin B.

Just wanted to add this little gem:
got YSL flats and an awesome pair of Bruno Magli flats for $13 total. Had them authenticated and they are legit. Deal of the century, in my opinion.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Dirgni S.

This thrift shop has a nice collection of clothing, linens, and housewares. It also has a small collection of books and shoes. It is clean and well-organized. The staff is anywhere from rude to gracious.
I was expecting the clothing selection to be a little better, given that's it's Andover. It was all pretty much soccer mom stuff the day I was there. That's the area of the store where I encountered the rude employee. She jabbed me with some hangers she was handling, she shoved all the clothes down the rack as I was trying to look at the other end of the rack. The clothing prices are pretty high too. Not outrageous, just not a bargain. There's no dressing room and sales are final.
The housewares were more fun. I got a cute Italian plate and a vintage glass piggy bank. The plate was $6 and the bank $2. The bank was 1/2 it's original price because they were having a sale on all pink tagged items.
I found a vintage tablecloth too. I didn't buy it because it was being sold "as-is" for $12.00. Turns out it had pretty large nasty stains in a couple places. I think $12 for a stained tablecloth is way too much, no matter how nice it was originally.
They had a couple craft kits that looked like new. The retail store price had been 10. They were selling it for $4. Ok, but not great.
The woman who sold and bagged my purchases was very pleasant.
So, stop by if you're in the area. But it isn't worth a drive of more than a few miles, in my opinion.Listed in: Thrift Shops North of Boston

The hours are impossible and the selection can be a hit or miss, but if you are around the area, it is worth checking out. I found vintage 80s Levi's I have been hunting for everywhere (common, but impossible to find the right size...!) and a vintage Dooney & Bourke satchel that I was looking for as well, but most of the time I turn out empty handed. The old ladies that work there are usually nice and let you explore and shop undisturbed, which I like but I guess others might not like that.

My friends & I enjoy going to this thrift store, although the shop hours make it tricky to do so often. I have found nice skirts, retro earrings, strange kitchen wares and more. The store is pretty well organized, and not overwhelming, as some larger thrift stores can be. Prices are very reasonable, and they accept local checks.
