Lula B’s
Does “cool stuff for cool people” sound like your bag?
Obviously, a rhetorical question! Lula B’s Antique Mall is one of the most unique second hand shops anywhere. For more than 15 years, a talented group of stylists have come together to curate their own little spaces, not only giving the shop a variety of perspectives but also offering something special for everyone.
This includes vintage apparel and accessories, artwork, cowboy boots, jewelry, homewares, musical instruments, books and magazines, and more (we especially partial to the little brass armadillo we spotted there!).
Price Range: $–$$$
Clothes Circuit
Clothes Circuit is one of the most well-loved boutiques for high-end fashion without the high price tag. The iconic luxury consignment shop has been the destination for fashion-loving women for over 35 years.
Across a huge range of clothing, footwear, handbags, and other accessories, more than 600 brands have been featured in-store, including Jimmy Choo, Chanel, Free People, and Louis Vuitton.
You can even find items perfect for your Texas pride, like a pair of Miron Crosby blue leather cowboy boots and LA DoubleJ western print matching pant set to go with them.
Price Range: $$–$$$$
Texas Thrift
Texas Thrift is the parent company behind City Thrift and Music City Thrift, a franchise of second hand stores in Dallas, and other cities.
Helping people #ShiftToThrift, thousands of new items are sent to the floor every day. These include furniture, accessories, clothes, household items, and more.
Texas Thrift, City Thrift and Music City Thrift give millions of products a second life every year by keeping them out of landfills. Items not sold are sent to developing countries to provide micro-businesses with products they can use.

Out Of The Closet
Benefiting the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, you can visit Out of the Closet in many big cities around the US, not just Dallas.
With a sizable selection of on-trend clothing, furniture, books, and kitchen or household items on offer, 96¢ of every dollar goes to HIV patients, homeless care, and free HIV testing and pharmacy delivery.
If you’re short on time but wondering what to do with old clothes, you can schedule a large donation pick up, too.
Price Range: $–$$
EV’s Thrift
EV’s Thrift is much more than your average thrift store. It’s like if you combined every garage and estate sale into one conveniently located permanent location.
Their inventory also includes things you’d likely never expect. Bikes, lawnmowers, bouncy castles, treadmills…there is quite literally no limit to what you might discover at EV’s.
They even sell multiple flavors of wood for BBQ cooking, and owner Ken has been grilling things up for the needy and homeless in the neighborhood for years. Now, he even cooks for customers.
EV’s offer junk removal services as well—which explains their massive, eclectic inventory.
Price Range: $–$$
Uptown Cheapskate
Uptown Cheapskate will help you dress to impress without contributing to fast fashion waste.
They buy and sell top-brand names, like Zara, Doc Martens, H&M, Coach, Levi’s, Anthropologie, Nordstrom, and more. From fuzzy white jackets and floral tube tops to color-popping high-top Nike sneakers, Uptown Cheapskate will help practically anyone dress at an uptown level on a cheapskate’s budget.
If you sell through UC, you can opt for 25% more than the cash value of the garment if you choose store credit instead.

White Rock Center Of Hope Thrift Store
If you’re in the market for uncommon items, we’d suggest you stop by White Rock Center of Hope.
With all the usual gently-used and new upscale clothes and event pieces like elegant prom dresses, shoes, jewelry, accessories, furniture, and household items, they also stock a moving feast of wedding and party dresses, fabric and craft supplies, antiques, China and silver, and more.
Every dollar earned supports White Rock’s mission and various services for the underprivileged in Dallas: a food pantry, clothing closet, financial assistance, and school supplies donations.
Price Range: $–$$
Second Chance Treasures
Second Chance Treasures is the only DFW thrift store exclusively benefiting homeless pets. All proceeds go to organizations like East Lake Pet Orphanage.
They resell anything—literally, from rags and scrap metal, to beautiful antiques, fine China, and pottery—which results in a continuously-changing range of hard-to-find collectables and eccentric pieces.
They accept donations of clothing, small appliances, and household appliances, which can be dropped off at the shop or a local veterinary hospital.

Why Go Thrifting In Dallas
When it comes down to it, sustainable fashion really means wearing what we’ve got for longer.
But when our wardrobes are in need of a overhaul, secondhand options provide the refresh we need without the environmental cost.
When you make secondhand purchases, you’re eliminating energy and resource consumption used to create new clothes.
Which is no small thing, considering the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of humanity’s carbon emissions, most of which are generated upstream from raw material production to processing and production.
In the US, the average consumer throws away 100 pounds of textiles annually – and less than 15% of this is recycled.
Just imagine if those clothes could end up in the hands of a new fashionista instead of polluting our planet.
Not to mention that thrifting is the best way to snag stylish duds at a steal.
So if you’ve got ex’s in Texas (or more preferably people there who didn’t break your heart), let them in on the secrets you just discovered about the best thrift stores in Dallas.
