BUDGET, BORROWED AND USED

Now-a-days so many couture consignment shops and vintage stores have gotten into the habit of putting an overly priced tag on their 1-of-kind pieces. No wonder every time you walk into a vintage clothing store, throughout lower Manhattan, it smells like someones moist basement in Albuquerque, NM! However, all hope is not lost, there are still people in the fashion trade with a heart or 2; and in the Change Purse community we will show you how to save your pennies — this Section will include a weekly listing of local, popular and affordable vintage and second hand clothing stores and flea markets throughout different cities.

BROOKLYN, N.Y.

BROOKLYN FLEA:

Brooklyn Flea takes place every weekend in two locations:
Every Saturday in Fort Greene (10am-5pm), and every Sunday in DUMBO (11am-6pm).

Click here for a map and directions to both locations.

The Fort Greene Flea is outdoors at Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School, on Lafayette Ave. between Clermont and Vanderbilt Ave., and features 150+ vendors of vintage furniture, clothing, collectibles and antiques, as well as new jewelry, art and crafts by local artisans, plus delicious food. It is open from 10am to 5pm—rain or shine—every Saturday.

The DUMBO Flea takes place indoors in 2 vacant storefronts: 76 Front St. for 25 vintage/antiques vendors, and 81 Front St. (directly across the street) for 50 vintage, fashion, art/crafts, jewelry, and food vendors. The DUMBO markets are open from 11am to 6pm every Sunday.

See you at the Flea!

DUMBO Brooklyn Bridge Flea Market!

Starting Sunday, June 14, the Flea will launch a long-awaited second weekend location, at a truly magnificent site under the Brooklyn Bridge on our gorgeous waterfront. Tucked between River Cafe and the Tobacco Warehouse at Water and New Dock Street, the Brooklyn Bridge Flea has stunning views of the NYC skyline, graced by cool river breezes and the mighty Bridge’s dramatic arc. It’s, like, totally world-class.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the folks at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation and a handful of City agencies, let’s just say the Flea has hit the bigtime! Stay tuned for updates on exciting new vendors, tasty treats, and more. And of course keep visiting the indoor Dumbo markets on Sundays through the end of May.

Thanks to all vendors and Fleasters for giving us the confidence to make this bold leap.
