Thrifting in Pittsburgh

One of the easiest ways we can combat fast fashion (see my previous post to learn more about fast fashion), is to not partake in the system!

In an ideal world, I would purchase all sustainably-made, recyclable, locally- and organically-grown cotton clothes. That would be the only way to cut off our dependence on the fashion industry. But we all know that clothing like that is rarely affordable or accessible. As college students, it’s not realistic for us.

One way to distance ourselves from the fast fashion industry is through thrifting. This allows us to support local businesses and ultimately reduce the amount of money being funneled to companies who are destroying the environment and exploiting people for labor. 

And-- let’s face it: thrifting is fun. What’s better than buying an article of clothing knowing that it is unlikely you will see someone else wearing the same thing?

Here are the best thrift stores in the ‘Burgh:

Avalon Exchange- High-end clothing, great selection of cool sunglasses

Squirrel Hill- 5858 Forbes Ave

Priciness: $$$

Buffalo Exchange- High-end stylish clothing, urban-vibe

South Side Flats- 1214 E Carson St #1a

Goodwill (the best one)- Low to medium quality clothes, can also buy second-hand items

Southside- 2700 E Carson St
