Pasadena is home to great restaurants and stores. One of the places worth visiting is the East Colorado shopping strip in the famed Old Town. Here you can grab a bite to eat and stop by Crossroads Trading, a unique store that is fun and trendy while also being eco-friendly.
Eco-Friendly Fashion Finds
You may be looking to update your wardrobe in the new year and Crossroads Trading has a large variety to choose from. They offer name-brand and designer clothing at affordable and greatly discounted prices. They also have unique vintage pieces that are hard to find in regular retail stores. Because the store buys its merchandise directly from local residents, each store's inventory reflects the styles and trends unique to their local neighborhood. Many locals love the business model because it allows for clothes to be upcycled and kept out of landfills while also benefiting the sellers.
Local Styles, Global Trends
In addition to clothing, Crossroads Trading also has brand-name shoes, sunglasses, and accessories. Each time you come, you will find new items as the store constantly purchases gently used items. Fitting rooms are available and are clean and well-lit. There is a section for men that is smaller but still worth a look. During the winter months, you may find great vintage coats and jackets that are sure to stand out because of their quality and original style. And lastly, there is a section of brand-new items that still have their original tags and are also sold at discounted prices.
Customer Service is friendly and greets customers with a warm welcome. They usually have enough employees to accommodate their buying and purchasing services.
Sell Smart, Shop Smart
At Crossroads, customers sell their current, on-trend clothing and accessories for cash or trade credit. They are very selective in what they will purchase and are known for turning away large quantities of items that their workers don't consider clean, currently in style, or the right season. For instance, heavy winter coats will most likely not be needed during spring or summer. Appointments may be necessary to drop off items to be processed so it is always a good idea to call before taking your clothes to the store. They will also tell you what items they are currently buying to further guide you in deciding what to take to the store. If they do purchase items, they will offer either store credit or cash and the store credit will always be more in value than the cash offer. This is a standard practice in most resale shops.
