12 best thrift stores in Brooklyn for vintage clothing + Brooklyn flea market.

Brooklyn has been a New York City borough of diverse culture and unmatched style ever since I was a young teen. To this day, I still visit thrift stores in Brooklyn to buy vintage sportswear and second-hand luxury pieces that can’t be found in Long Island thrift stores.

Brooklyn thrift stores vary in shopping size, but all offer competitive low prices and provide an array of second-hand fashion pieces for any aesthetic you seek.

However, sourcing great Brooklyn thrift stores can be overwhelming among the many search results that appear in Google Search, Yelp, and more.

Whether you’re searching for gray tag Nike pieces, vintage Christian Dior, concert tees or other vintage clothing genres, you’ll definitely find it here in Brooklyn.

Use our guide to find the best thrift stores in Brooklyn for second-hand vintage clothing you will cherish for years to come.
