) Shopping Resale— Vintage and Contemporary There are quite a few quality used clothing stores in Eugene—all quite dif ferent. Below is a run-down of a few. Alpha Consignment, the only used clothing store on the westside, has a good selection of contemporary clothes for the whole family—and the prices are good. The store is decorated with inexpensive plants, and you can also find some nice low-priced jewelry. Varsie gives 50% on consignments and buys new and used. Located at 775 Monroe Street. Mariah’s is a lovely store and center for infants, toddlers and young children. It feels like a center because children play happily on the carpet, Mariah (newly born) sleeps peacefully in one of the cribs, and parents visit and exchange in formation while looking through the excellent selection of natural fibre clothing, blankets, cribs, swings, chairs, shoes and lots more for very low prices. Up to size 6 there is a large selection, up to size 12 there are fewer clothes but they are of excellent quality. There are some new items; for example, tye-dyed undershirts and little dresses. Visit Mariah’s and experience an expansive store—in terms of its selection and consciousness. No consignment—buy and sell only. Located at 468 Willamette. Old Friends sells high quality, fashionable vintage and used clothing; a good selection for men as well as women. Here you can find wool jackets, sweaters, old fashioned blouses, skirts, a dress for the opera, and much more.
