LOUISVILLE’S SECONDHAND SCENE

National Consignment Day is a good reason to give something old a new life—or at least a new home in your closet. Louisville is packed with thrift and consignment shops full of vintage finds, secondhand steals, funky treasures, and plenty of “I can’t believe somebody gave this up” discoveries. Go dig around and see what you can score.
