Where to find designer deals on a budget
2nd Street in Chelsea has changed second-hand shopping across the nation with one of a kind designer finds

NEW YORK CITY -- I'll be the first to admit, I would rather spend my money on a full shopping spree for multiple (cheaper) outfits instead of splurging on one designer item.

Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury to drop hundreds of dollars on a bag or pair of shoes.

However, I'm down for a good discount especially when it's something I know is well-made such as vintage floral Dolce & Gabbana blazer.

I actually scored that exact item at 2nd Street in Chelsea and you won't believe what I paid for it!

2nd Street is a chain of second hand stores you won't just find across the U.S. but all over Japan.

Second-hand shopping can sometimes be overwhelming... you don't know where to look or even where to start.

Well, 2nd Street eliminates all the negative experiences associated with the search for a designer deal.

Apparel and accessories are meticulously selected for shoppers in each store's area and the store is insanely organized section-by-section.

2nd Street USA's Brand Representative, Tia Vanlandingham pulled a few iconic pieces like a Louis Vuitton wallet and Louboutin heels as well as truly one of a kind pieces you most likely won't see anywhere else.

Oh, and did I mention you can make money off of the clothes you don't want?

Even if you're on the fence about if it's worth something... lugging your purged pile to the store won't' waste be a waste of your time.

They'll take everything and give you money for worthy items and donate the rest to charity.
