Atlanta is an incredible city for shopping. With buying new wardrobe pieces second-hand being a popular pastime, there are so many stores in the city to snap up somebody’s unwanted fashions. Make it your own, switch up the style, or create a new look completely. Regardless, vintage will always be in and your wallet is thankful for it! Although Little Five Points is the thrift store hotspot in the city, there are great places to thrift all over the city!
1. Psycho Sisters
When a thrift store organizes their stock by decade, you know they mean business. Psycho Sisters is a one-stop-shop for any fashion lover. Their extensive collection is highlighted with looks on show around the store. Go back in time, or become a complete character. There are wigs, 70s disco gear, rocker boots and everything in between that you’d expect to find in a thrifting haven.

2. Junkman’s Daughter
Atlanta’s premier purveyor of unusual goods, you’ll leave this gigantic vintage store with something you didn’t know you needed. Opened in 1982, the owner’s father was a junkman who spent years buying and trading what some viewed as useless. The lesson learned was that one person’s trash is another person’s treasure, which is certainly the case at Junkman’s Daughter. If you’re ever in Five Little Points, be sure to check it out. You won’t miss it as the outside is decorated with vibrantly painted murals.
