Refreshing your wardrobe and home can be a pleasure when the hunt is curated, the prices fair, and the service gracious. Around Lexington, consignment and resale boutiques deliver designer classics, polished vintage, and kid friendly trade-ins that feel stylish and sensible.
Let’s get to it.
Subject Matter
Boutique resale multiplied by twenty points of view. Subject Matter brings a curated vendor collective to downtown’s West Main, where each booth feels like its own little gallery. The effect is cohesive yet diverse, inviting a slow, curious browse.
The mix runs wide and smart. Mid-century credenzas, hand-knotted rugs, Derby and Kentucky memorabilia, art, books, even designer blazers with real staying power. You can outfit a room or simply find a thoughtful gift. Prices span approachable curios to investment pieces, and the quality bar stays high, thanks to vendors who screen what makes the floor.
Shopping here is pleasantly unrushed. Bright, compartmentalized stalls make browsing simple, fitting rooms help with the fashion finds, and stock rotates often, so fresh treasures surface week after week. Staff keeps it friendly without hovering.
Worth noting for sellers, this is a vendor model rather than traditional consignment, so expect booth agreements and reach out directly for terms. Best for collectors and home stylers who value character over clearance, as well as travelers wanting a polished take on Lexington vintage. If you want one place that edits the hunt without dulling the thrill, put this near the top of the list.
Street Scene
Curation is tight and kind to your wallet. Street Scene treats vintage as everyday style, not museum relics, so prices stay reasonable and the racks feel edited instead of chaotic. That philosophy shows up in every corner.
You will see 1950s through 90s pieces for women, men, and kids, with shoes and accessories that complete the look. Costume jewelry takes center stage with the occasional designer gem. Homewares, barware, small furniture, linens, holiday décor, art, and local handmade goods round it out.
The vibe is boutique, not attic. Clean, sized, and well organized, it delivers a treasure hunt without the dust. Set in the Regency Road corridor, it pairs well with a coffee stop, and the staff keeps things friendly and low pressure. A Lexington staple since 2007.
New arrivals hit weekly, and prices drop 10 percent after 30 days, then 25 percent after 60, which makes timing your visit worthwhile. Selling is just as simple, cash on the spot for most items, consignment for 50 dollar plus pieces, and clear standards for what they take. Bring clothing on hangers and photos for larger furniture.
WEARHOUSE
Think boutique first, storage unit never. WEARHOUSE delivers a vintage edit that feels intentional from hanger to home vignette.
In the Warehouse Block along National Avenue, it reads more like a small gallery than a thrift free for all. Hand-selected apparel and accessories share space with stylish homewares, small furniture, and art. Expect mid to higher price points for well-preserved pieces and the occasional designer score, which suits style-conscious and sustainability-minded shoppers.
Inventory turns over steadily, and their seasonal Drunken Flea events keep things lively with fresh vendors and special drops. The layout is clean and organized, so browsing feels easy yet still a little treasure-hunt fun.
It operates as a curated vendor and consignor showroom, with applications open for sellers. The team is vintage savvy and helpful, offering styling and interior shopping services without the hard sell.
Hours skew toward Thursday through Sunday, so plan ahead and watch their social feeds for restocks. You can also shop online if you prefer to browse from home. Love quality and character over quantity and chaos? Put this one on your short list.
The Domestic
Think design studio over thrift store. The Domestic pulls together vendor booths into a polished vintage marketplace in the Warehouse Block off National Avenue that reads curated rather than chaotic.
Expect mid-century and eclectic furniture, sculptural lighting, hearty rugs, and walls of framed art. Vinyl bins invite a quick flip, and there are racks of vintage clothing and accessories. Small collectibles keep the hunt lively.
Prices skew mid to higher, and the quality shows. Ideal for sourcing a statement credenza or the perfect lamp, yet still friendly enough to snag a candleholder or record without flinching.
Booths are styled like mini boutiques and change often, so repeat visits pay off. Inventory also moves on Instagram stories, which keeps the good stuff from lingering. Selling is straightforward. It runs on a vendor booth model, so reach out directly for current terms.
Vintage Therapy
If you like your vintage neat and approachable, start here. Vintage Therapy keeps the finds tight, the racks color coordinated, and the vibe friendly rather than fussy.
Expect a smart mix from the 1950s through the early 2000s, plus UK gear, band tees, jerseys, vinyl, and accessories. The Greyline Station shop is bright, easy to navigate, and has a fitting room. Prices stay mid range, often 15 to 75 dollars, and there is a separate furniture and upcycled store.
Inventory turns quickly, and Instagram drops keep the treasure hunt lively without the chaos. UK collectors get a dedicated section, yet the racks work just as well for anyone rebuilding a wardrobe or shopping with a college student. Vendor events, including a ReRun second hand fashion show, add a community spark.
Selling is straightforward. They buy, trade, and offer dealer or booth consignment with a formal agreement. The fee typically runs about 30 percent with monthly payouts, and standards are clear, bring clean, smoke free, tasteful pieces.
Choose this spot for vintage with a community feel, not a rummage bin. Friendly staff, color coded racks, and steady new arrivals make it worth a quick pop in today and another next week.
Re-Kid
Cash on the spot for outgrown tees and tiny sneakers, or 50% more in store credit. Re-Kid buys outright, not as a traditional consignment desk, so the handoff is quick. Drop-offs are first come, first served, no appointment needed, and items hit the floor fast.
Prices land in the budget-to-mid range. Racks are sorted by size, often by color, and toys are out for a bit of in-store play. Because they buy all seasons year-round, turnover is brisk, which keeps the treasure-hunt energy alive.
Quality is curated. They accept freshly laundered pieces with no stains or rips, toys and gear only if complete and working, and nothing recalled. Car seats are excluded. Some lower-tier basics are skipped, so the mix leans mall brands and better.
The sweet spot is cost-conscious parents and grandparents who like tidy racks and quick trade-ins near the Nicholasville Road corridor. Seller reviews are mixed on wait times and offers, but the store-credit bump rewards anyone planning to shop the same day.
Expect steady small wins, a like-new jacket, a stack of chapter books, a toy that buys you 15 minutes of quiet. Frequent arrivals and occasional sales make repeat visits pay off.
Sassy Fox
Boutique polish without the sticker shock of brand-new, Sassy Fox hits that sweet spot between curated and attainable.
Expect racks of women’s clothing that move from school-drop-off easy to gala-level formal, with designer handbags, shoes, jewelry, and accessories dotted throughout. Higher-end labels get prime display, while a few marked-down sections keep the thrill of the find alive. A random vintage gem shows up now and then.
Pricing runs mid to high, so it suits luxury-secondhand hunters, yet sale weeks reward the patient bargain-seeker. The Richmond Road corridor setting matches the vibe, polished, not stuffy. Staff know their brands and are happy to talk fits, fabric, and fair pricing.
Consignment here is traditional. Appointment, selective intake, clean and current items only, then payout after it sells. Store-credit perks pop up from time to time. Inventory turns steadily, with bigger refreshes in spring and fall, and an online shop that spotlights top pieces before you make the drive.
Choose it when you want quality without chaos, a tidy hunt with real designer upside. Skip it if you prefer rock-bottom thrift or big-box variety. For Lexington’s curated, brand-focused secondhand, this one earns its reputation.
Ladybug Landing
Smocking, seersucker, and tiny velvet blazers meet sensible prices at Ladybug Landing. At this upscale children’s consignment boutique, the racks read like a roll call of standout labels, from Janie and Jack to Lilly Pulitzer, Matilda Jane, Vineyard Vines, Beaufort Bonnet, and Mini Boden.
Condition matters. Items are new or like-new, current, and seasonally on point. Mass-market house brands are skipped in favor of boutique tags and special-occasion pieces, so the edit feels intentional, not cluttered.
The shop is cozy and organized by size, with clean displays and a staff that actually helps. Expect active seasonal rotation and social posts on new arrivals. Occasional back-room clearance makes splurges feel smart. Prices lean mid to higher end, yet they land well below retail for the same names.
Consignors get structure. Book a drop-off appointment, prep items clean and current, and track sales through the online portal. Payout terms live there too, so it runs like a professional boutique rather than a casual thrift counter.
Best fit for parents and grandparents chasing standout outfits for photos, holidays, church, or that one great first-day look. If your style leans classic and you want quality without paying full freight, Ladybug Landing earns a spot on the short list.
Stephen Lawrence Ltd
Where Lexington sends its designer closets for a second life. Stephen Lawrence Ltd treats resale like a boutique sport, edited racks, a sharp eye, and prices that make Gucci and St. John feel attainable.
The mix leans upscale, curated women’s and some men’s designer clothing, handbags, jewelry, and accessories, with formal wear. Estate pieces surface now and then, which keeps the racks interesting.
Think boutique calm rather than consignment chaos. Clean floors, neat racks that are not overstuffed, and clear tagging let you glide from St. John to Tory Burch to Chanel without elbowing a soul. Inventory rotates seasonally and with estate pickups, so fresh finds drop with real regularity.
Prices sit in the mid to high range, yet well below retail. It suits the shopper who values quality construction and classic lines more than flash sales. The shop also hosts VIP events for a quieter browse.
Consigning here is thoughtful and selective, with in-store evaluation, standard boutique payout terms, and estate pickup around the Moore Drive corridor. Ideal for event dressing, luxury staples, and one standout bag. Skip it if fast-fashion hauls are the goal.
