Thrift stores have been around for a long time, but there’s definitely been an uptick in thrift store shopping over the last couple years. As vintage clothing and old-school aesthetics continue to soar in popularity, we get more and more excited about all the amazing vintage shops Owensboro has to offer!
If you’re looking for furniture, Owensboro Trading Post is one of the best places in the tri-state area for finding all things vintage. You can also find a huge variety of antiques, collectibles, tools, knick knacks and “projects” that you can give a little love and refurbish. This store has some really cool signs, clocks, kitchenware and old paintings too!
New Life Thrift has a little bit of everything, but this is one of the best places to find vintage clothing. If you’re into the 70s aesthetic, they’ve usually got a velvet couch, floral lamps and embroidered pillows. But you can also find everything from shoes to guitars to home decor here. This shop is so cute, and they have so many amazing deals. Plus, the revenue generated by New Life Thrift is invested back into the local community.
Old paintings and prints, home decor and so, so, so many clothing items can be thrifted at Clothesline. You can find name-brand clothing at a fraction of the price here. And you’ll never get bored shopping at Clothesline because they continually rotate new items in!
A store that’s as fun as its name, Kiwi Vintage is locally-owned and operated. They’ve got it all here–purses, sweaters, dresses, work clothes, shoes, kid’s clothing. If you’re looking for a vintage leather jacket, this should be your first stop. And old-school cardigan? They have so many to choose from. The team at Kiwi Vintage even puts outfits together on their Facebook page to give you inspiration for thrifting the perfect wardrobe.
