Viceversa

So this vintage store is an offshoot of the L Train Vintage stores. They include Urban Jungle, No Relation, and a few others in the east village and bushwick area (and one in park slope?). Anyway. this is a short 5 min walk away from Urban Jungle, so I stopped here on a vintage thrifting day.
The layout is slightly less cluttered than Urban Jungle, but because of that, there’s less to look through. I didn’t see much by way of women’s coats, but they did have a fantastic vintage dress section, on par with what they have in UJ. If i had all the money in the world, I’d have bought a ton, but I got one vintage 70s dress with long sleeves and a darling collar for $ 8. Also, dont pass up on the vintage sequin dresses! Especially as we head towards the holidays. Pricier, prob around $ 30 a pop, but awesome.
Oh, and this location has dressing rooms, which is icing on the cake.
I do think UJ has the better overall selection, but you can find gems here, and its worth it if you are already in the area.

I live in the McKibbin lofts, and since I’m an avid thrift store shopper I was super excited to learn that this place was opening on my block. Unfortunately it’s consistently disappointed me. I’ve been in half a dozen times or so, and not once found anything I wanted to buy. The prices are higher than they should be and it’s like the stock isn’t curated at all — just racks and racks and racks of ill-​fitting, out of date clothing, and I don’t mean that in a good, hipstery way. Also, no fitting room attendants any of the times I’ve been in, so I’ve always had to wander around stupidly trying to find someone to unlock a room. ALSO also, NO MIRRORS IN THE FITTING ROOMS, WTF? You have to step out to see how anything looks, tres uncomft.
Giving 2 stars instead of one because this might be a useful stop for guys who don’t care too much about their clothes (although my boyfriend has never been impressed with the place). For my time and money, Beacon’s Closet around the corner is a better resale shop — a lot smaller but infinitely better selection.
