JUNK IN THE TRUNK VINTAGE VARIETY
Step into this upbeat thrift store with trendy secondhand items appealing
to every curiosity. Types of pieces found on rotation at the shop include
clothing, jewelry, vintage merchandise, small furniture, perfumes, books,
music and other household goods. Merchandise donated to the store
and selected for sale is inspected, altered and repaired when necessary,
giving it new life for its next owner. Repurposing articles rather than
tossing them also functions as a way to help the environment by
recycling things that would have otherwise ended up in landfills.
Through owning and founding the thrift store, Astara D’Antonio is
fulfilling a dream she’s had since she was 10 years old. West New York
resident and associate Lui Rivero helps D’Antonio man the store. 5808
