Inside The Offices Of Nifty Thrifty, Williamsburg’s Mecca For Online Thrifting
With the support of backer and co-founder Mark Kingdon (“I hate to toss around the word, but when we started planning the project, we really just vibed,” explained Luciani) Nifty Thrifty has already built an impressively diverse range of looks, all within a comparatively affordable price range for the world of high-end vintage. “We’re not trying to get into the model of “museum” vintage,” said Julie Chen, Nifty’s social media guru. “Sometimes we’ll get in something really special that will be more expensive, but we’d rather have that alongside more accessible, versatile options.”
A brief search through the racks turned up a pristine white YSL jacket, an impressive collection of bedazzled holiday sweaters, a purple crushed velvet Betsey Johnson turtleneck, and what appeared to be a floor-length chartreuse figure-skating gown.
