Increased interest in sustainable clothing and secondhand shopping has unleashed a boom in thrift stores and vintage shops — and that boom includes San Antonio.

Alamo City thrifters can find discount duds aplenty. Those willing to scour can also get their mitts on designer fashion, hard-to-find band T-shirts and even high-end sneakers.

It can be hard to know where to begin when it comes to digging up second-hand treasures. So we rounded up some of the best local spots to check out, whether you’ve been sporting thrifted styles for a while or are totally new to vintage shopping.

Hello Tallulah 1912 Fredericksburg Rd., (210) 286-8146, hellotallulah.com This adorable, colorful shop run is home to a plethora of vintage treasures.

Goodwill Multiple Locations, goodwillsa.org Goodwill has the unique ability as a thrift store chain to capture all the highs and lows of thrifting.

Regardless, Goodwill is a thrifting rite of passage. If you’re feeling really brave, throw on some gloves and a mask and head on over to dig for vintage clothes in the Goodwill bins.
