New York Joe Exchange

Exchange by name, exchange by nature: this spacious store sells imported, non-branded used clothing, while also buying in items from customers, or even allowing them to swap threads they no longer want for pieces from the store. (They have to meet a certain criteria, mind, so showing up with a sack of baggy old T-shirts probably isn’t going to get you much more than a raised eyebrow.) Having opened in 2010 in what used to be a public bathhouse, the owner also happens to run a sister store in Kichijoji. Look out for their sales on the first Sunday of every month, when everything is marked down to half price.
