First off, this place is not a thrift store, as other reviewers have been calling it. Calling it a thrift store entails that the clothes are donated. Trend Traders is a resale shop, and compared with some of the other resale shops nearby, like Buffalo Exchange and Mustang Xchange, it's lacking. The merchandise itself isn't much to my taste--thing some of the trendier, blander items from Forever 21 and H&M--but more than that, the pieces they carry are not worth the prices marked. The brands they carry are cheap with a limited shelf-life when bought new--who knows how long they'll last if you buy them second hand? You can find similar clothes at a real thrift store like Savers or Salvation Army for a fraction of the price, or you can buy them new for a few dollars more and they might last a few more washes. Either would be preferable.
