2nd Street sells one-of-a-kind pieces in premium, second-hand condition.

The gist

The second-hand store recently opened a new storefront in Rice Village, offering a range of products from vintage treasures to Japanese designer items and luxury accessories.

The franchise started in Japan in 1996 and has expanded to more than 700 stores across the globe, according to the company’s website.

A closer look

More than 15 million tons of clothing end up in U.S. landfills annually, according to 2nd Street. Because of this, the brand says it is mindful of sustainable shopping and has an initiative called Hand2Hand to make sure all donated clothes are used.

“Any items that we cannot sell are donated to a partner company that will recycle the clothing to clean up oil spills in factories, while other items are resold to create job opportunities and provide clothing to those in need,” the website states.
