When I hit the “thrifting trail” on Broadway in Newport, Rhode Island, I had high hopes. But the experience far surpassed my expectations when it came to variety, prices, and quality. I found thrift shops with everything from vintage clothing to the latest styles. The vintage shops had amazing, varied selections. And the consignment shops were packed with reasonably priced, high-quality clothes. What impressed me the most, though, was the pricing. Given Newport’s incredible popularity as a summer getaway, I figured prices would be sky-high. But they were surprisingly reasonable, making for an all-around wonderful experience.

St. Paul’s Thrift Shop

St. Paul’s Thrift Shop has a fantastic selection of clothing, housewares, furniture, books, and more for both men and women. I was impressed with the quality and variety of items throughout the shop. The brand-name tops offered excellent value for money. Prices ranged from $7 to $10 and above. This is a fair price considering the current high prices in most thrift shops nationwide. The pricing is more than fair for pants, skirts, dresses, shoes, and other items. What really caught my eye was the fantastic range of solid, well-made furniture. This furniture is hard to find these days. It always gets snapped up when I’m thrifting. The store is well-organized, spacious, and has great displays. It was a pleasure browsing through the racks. What I love most about St. Paul’s Thrift Shop is the friendly staff. They do an excellent job. All proceeds go towards supporting the McKinney Homeless Shelter. Excellent!

What a great secondhand/consignment shop! This shop is so well curated and has such a good vibe. The prices are on point for consignment and vintage.

I liked this shop because they have a unique and stylish vintage decor. It was well curated, and the choices were outstanding. Additionally, I thought there were some gorgeous jewelry pieces for sale. They have different price points, so you should find something you like. VS Vintage is like shopping at the best estate sales you have ever seen. So many things catch your eye. You must refrain from buying too much. Remember that when purchasing high-quality vintage, the price reflects the quality and condition of the pieces.

This great shop, Respoke, also reimagines vintage scarves and creates one-of-a-kind slides. I found this to be quite unique and impressive.
