The Buffalo Exchange is more of an anti-boutique, but it allows poor bastards such as us to afford boutique goods, so it’s best in our book. Whether your idea of a boutique is on-trend items from Tory Burch or a vintage store that sells one-of-a-kind pieces, the Buffalo Exchange is stuffed with eclectic, fashionable wares sure to suit your tastes. Buying used clothing is good for the environment, too, keeping them out of the landfill and money out of the evil fast-fashion industry. Plus, the stores went bag-free years before it became the law, as the company’s all about helping you mind both the environment and your wallet.
