So easy to Re-use vs Buy New in Petaluma

Four years ago when my niece was 21 she told us “don’t buy me new clothes, I’m trying to re-use only”. You go girl! That is a great commitment to the environment and i’m inspired by her. If you a fan of re-using for the price or the climate benefit Petaluma is a great place to shop! Clothes, shoes, books, music, jewelry, furniture, art…so many easy ways to find something you need or something that will delight you previously used. Here is where I go to find treasures!

Clothing

Thread & Soul – Wonderfully curated for the coolest (or whatever the kids are saying) one of a kind clothes and shoes. This is a place I shop for a party or everyday looks. Kids clothes now included.

NooNoo – The best of kids clothes. The owners curate the offering so these are kids clothes you can’t wait to put on them or even gift. They also include women’s denim, baby gear and house plant, located in a cool wharehouse on 1st. They are committed to eco-friendly clothing life cycle.

Opera House Collective This place is two stories and filled with everything you need from cowboy boots to flanel shirts to negligees. If you are going to a theme party this is a great place to start as you can find clothes and accessories to fit so many decades.

Thrifty Hippy Has a punk, alternative vibe to the offering of clothes, shoes, records, cassette tapes!, art, jewelry, comic books etc. Peruse for treasures and fun finds.
