Editorial by

In Short
It's not unusual to see long lines of people eager to rid themselves of old threads at this crowded store located in the heart of trend-setting Melrose. Crossroads is all about bringing in those clothes you want out of your closet and replacing them with everyone else's castoffs. The clothes here are very reasonably priced, which is great considering the designer labels you'll find.

Key Points

  • Women's & Men's Great Styles
  • On-the-spot Cash or Trade
  • Amazing Selection

The Inside Scoop

  1. Save Money - The threads are in stellar shape--the store doesn't take damaged items and offers 40 percent in cash and 50 percent in trade for "fresh styles in good condition."
  2. Know Before You Go - There are 22 locations nationwide. Check out the store's web site to locate the shop closest to you.
  3. The Extras - Along with jeans, sweaters, T-shirts and dresses, there's a good selection of shoes, bags and jewelry to fill out the offerings. Labels like Prada, Miu Miu, Calvin Klein and BCBG pop up as often as old faithfuls like the Gap, Lee and Levi's.

I love Crossroads!! I guess it wouldn't be considered a vintage store, but it's basically where the rich people who are finished with their clothes go and sell them. They sell Juicy Couture, True Religion, 7 for all Mankind, etc. for a really good price, about $40 for True Religion. They ony buy fashionable clothes from people, so you know you'll always see the best brands.

Ratings_icons Caters to the young fashionistas

Susan R. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 5,868

I was looking forward to going to this shop to look for professional/work clothes, but the store seems to cater more to the young fashionistas than to professionals looking for office attire. To its credit, it was extremely well-organized and well-lit.

Ratings_icons Good Cheap Vintage Shopping

Sandy C. | insider Insider | Rank: 24,369

This isn't your usual recycled clothing store with unfashionable, smelly clothes. If you are into fashion and on a budget this is a great store. They have a lot of recycled brand names. They will also buy your duds too. The sales people pretty much ignore you but I like that personally because I don't feel pressured. Parking on Melrose is an issue most of the time, but there are a few side streets that work.

this is a good place for ppl who buy clothes and get sick of them quickly (*you can sell clothes here for store credit or even cash) for sellers, they like seasonal items with high end labels, or vintage wear.

Ratings_icons good inexpensive used clothing

Anonymous

This store has a lot of used clothes at very reasonable prices. You can sell your clothes here and most of the inventory is stuff people sold. Not too many clothes for boys but the womens stuff is quite good. If you want to sell your clothes go on the weekdays when the line to talk to the buyer isn't quite as long. There are several of these, but this one is quite good.

I really like this place. The clothes are always cute and funky and more importantly CHEAP! the other really good thing is that you can bring in clothes you don't want anymore and sell it to them (although word of warning, make sure they are in good condition and fashionable or they won't take them)

Ratings_icons Great High End Labels at an Affordable Price

Bingka

I found Crossroads Trading on Melrose by accident as I was strolling down the street one day . To my surprise, they have a lot of really good designer labels for dirt cheap. Although many items are smelly, they are mostly in great condition. On my second visit I found an authentic Louis Vuitton luggage for $90. Although it had a coule of rivets fallen off, I was able to turn it around and sold it for $595, not bad for not even a day's work. I then went back the following day and bought a whole new wardrobe PLUS eat at BluJam Cafe next door and still have $500 left in my pocket. I was extremely happy!!!!

Pros: Great Finds at Such Dirt Cheap Prices. Search Hard and You May Just Find Gold!

Cons: Parking and They Sell a Lot of Louis Vuitton Knockoffs Too

What is it that you sell in your store, do you sell by wholesale or what? Can you tell me about your store?

Ratings_icons Hot Damn!

This has got to be the most stellar discovery in west coast resale. Crossroads has a few stores in California and one in Seattle, with good reason. You do have to dig a bit (but that's the fun) and man can you find gold! I've gotten Marc Jacobs shirts for $15 and skirts for $20, and you know how outrageous those regular prices are. Not fakes at all, mind you. It's not one of those snooty resale shops, thankfully. There's a real sense of community here.

Pros: Price, Selection
