How about we compare… Nasty gal? Urban Outfitters? Salvation Army?

Nasty Gal… an online shop selling all things trendy. This is my favorite website. I spend hours on this site looking at all the new clothes and all the new accessories. They just seem to sell the most perfect pieces, complimenting my style completely.

What is so cool about this website is that it is not only selling what is new. Nastygal.com also has vintage.  Vintage pieces coming from all different periods of time, but I think it seems like its mostly from the 70’s and 80’s. The pieces that they have are usually designer but sometimes you can find a random item that is from a company not so brand name. Usually nastygal’s prices are not something I can afford, I admire from a far…

Urban outfitters.

Urban’s vintage pieces are more affordable than nastygals, but way more than any item you would find at a salvation army. I feel like urban directs more of it merchandise to college students therefore making their prices more affordable. Urban has more pieces you could find at a thrift store rather than vintage store, but tends to mark them up. Urban has something called urban renewal, which takes thrift store items for their store, changes them a little and sells them for more.  Although this might sound annoying it can be cool when the urban you shop at spices up a shirt that could be found at your local thrift shop. Urban renewal can help the consumer come up with creative ideas for their very own t-shirts. I believe Urban Outfitters vintage, has a fun way to combine both vintage and thrift and is able to make it affordable, to uhhh maybe someone like me???

Also Urban Outfitters has some expansive, designer pieces, so like if you can afford it, Urban has it too.

Salvation army

Salvation army is both religion and government based. Their mission is to provide clothing for people in poverty from donations of others. They want their store to provide items that people need at a lower cost, so that everyone can afford them. It is a store that wants to help. This thrift store’s mission is too focus on the poverty around them and give to them what they need.  They sell clothes given to them by donations and take almost anything given to them.

I think this is an awesome store because they are helpful to people and the store benefits a community.

 I also like Salvation army because it is cheap. Also because I think it is cool to look at the old clothes and the old accessories.

This store does not have many designer vintage pieces, and if it does it is not sold at what Nastygal or Urban sell their vintage pieces for. This might be because the clothes are donations, or because the people are unaware of the value of the item.
