In 2023 shop pre-loved clothing at St Vincent DePaul Thrift Store in DTLA

Four reasons why you need to shop at St. Vincent DePaul Thrift Store in DTLA

In 2023, thrift stores are making a comeback in a big way. With a growing number of sustainable and eco-friendly initiatives, there’s never been a better time to be kind to Mother Earth by doing your part to reduce your carbon footprint and save some cash while you’re at it. Plus, if you shop at area thrift stores like St. Vincent DePaul (SVdPLA) in DTLA, your contributions are actually helping your own hometown which is good thing for all. Here are four reasons why you’ll likely find us looking through clothing racks at SVdPLA and eventually holding our dress to our body in front of the mirror before making it to the cash register:

  • Wide Selection & Unique Products

St. Vincent DePaul Thrift Stores (there’s one in LA and one in Long Beach) offer a wide selection of unique products. Just think of that fancy Catholic auntie of yours that wore the big expensive fur coats— she probably cleaned out her closet in December and donated her stuff to a charity that touches people’s hearts, like SVdPLA. In other words, whether you’re looking for fancy clothing, statement furniture, or unique home decor, this thrift store has it all because good people who believe in good causes donate their good stuff. Plus, SVdPLA’s ever-changing selection of items makes it easy to always find something new when you visit.

  • Fun Fashion Finds at Affordable Prices

One of the biggest reasons why people love thrifting at SVdPLA is because they save money. By shopping at thrift stores, you’re basically shopping for amazing pieces without breaking the bank. Plus, with more people becoming conscious about their spending habits, SVdPLA offers discounts and runs sales and promotions (like the time they offered Mommy in LA Magazine readers 20% off their total purchase…yay)

  • Help the Environment

As mentioned earlier, with sustainability becoming increasingly present on the collective mind, purchasing pre-owned items instead of buying new products from major retail department stores allows you to help reduce waste and conserve resources. Shopping secondhand also helps divert items from ending up in landfills or being incinerated since these things would otherwise be discarded if not purchased.

  • Give Back To Los Angeles

Last but not least, donating goods and/or shopping for goods at SVdPLA helps support the community. St. Vincent de Paul Los Angeles has been providing the underprivileged from all walks of life, all backgrounds and all religions, a helping hand since 1969. The organization was launched in France back in 1833, thanks to a compassionate university student named Frederic Ozanam.

Every year, the organization works hard to provide financial and emotional support, food, clothing furniture appliances and resources to thousands of disadvantaged individuals across Los Angeles, Ventura & Santa Barbara Counties- helping them become self-sufficient.

So yeah, if you’re interested in donating, call 800.974.3571 to make an impact on somebody’s life.
