No Relation Vintage
654 Sackett St
No Relation Vintage is a part of the L Train Vintage franchise (8 locations in total throughout the five boroughs), and has plenty to offer thrif store addicts! In fact, I always find something if not a whole bag worth when I come in. I especially find their jackets and coats to be top notch, as well as their denim!
No Relation sells a large variety of different clothing. They have denim jackets, pants, t-shirts, and coats—most of which are priced at or around 10 dollars. Also, this shop is just a 13-minute walk from the Barclay Center stop (2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q, R, W), making it pretty accessible no matter where you’re coming from.
While it may take some digging (as their collections are massive), you’re sure to find something of value should you decide to visit No Relation Vintage! This shop is huge and it can get busy on the weekends.
Trailer Park
77 Sterling Place
When it comes to vintage stores in Park Slope for furniture and antiques, you need to check out this hidden treasure of a spot on Sterling Place. It was actually during late 2020 when I first came in here on one of my very long walks through the neighborhood when I was getting cabin fever all couped up in the apartment.
They have so many cool finds and even Amish hand crafted goods, which I wasn’t expecting! I actually found my friend a fun vintage set of cups here that she loves and uses all the time.
It’s worth coming in and browsing their collection, I love a good retro piece to add to my apartment.
