“ThriftEd Mag returns with its brash, experimental and totally awesome thrift shop this January. With rad finds for men and women, this is a one-of-a-kind experience sure to thrill. The theme is consumerism and the concept is killer fashion. The retail pop up will barrage attendees with satirical motifs of consumerism alongside a curated assortment for the winter, including outerwear, footwear, dresses, tops, bottoms and assorted accessories for the individual and home. Is it art and fashion? It's both.

Merchandise is thrifted locally and afar by our team of stylists, with pieces coming from major cities like Los Angeles and New York City. Admission is just $10 and allows you to choose any piece from the shop.”
