Fashion-forward shoppers might find some new additions to their wardrobe at Cave + Post Co., a family-owned store in Phoenix with vintage goods and popular menswear brands. Change Clothes also sells a curated selection of vintage apparel and streetwear from coveted brands.
If you’re looking to unload some items instead, both stores may be interested in purchasing your used apparel. If you’re looking to find a new owner for your designer accessories, take a look at Fashionphile Selling Studio at Neiman Marcus.
