2nd STREET 8th Ave

2nd STREET is a secondhand fashion retailer where shoppers can look for designer, vintage and contemporary clothing rather than buy only new-season collections. Its Eighth Avenue location in Chelsea is part of a larger network that sources items from customers and offers an ever-changing assortment. Shoes, bags and accessories accompany clothing, making each visit different as individual pieces arrive and sell.

The company also buys selected pre-owned items, with staff assessing them under the shop's current purchasing criteria. Sellers should check which brands, conditions and forms of identification are accepted before bringing in a large collection. Shoppers can inspect fit, wear and care labels because secondhand stock may not come in multiple sizes. The 2nd STREET website explains its buying process, online catalog and store locations. The value offered for an item depends on its condition and resale demand, not simply its original retail price.
