Revival Boutique & Thrift is a gem of a thrift/ resale boutique with prices that are 20-70% below other thrifts and resale stores. You’ll find everything here from designer fashions to mid century home furnishings.
Upon entry, you’ll think it’s just your average thrift store. Not so! As you look around there are more hidden gems here than not. I spotted lovely art work, designer and name brand clothes, dish ware, sofas, books, electronics, lighting, bric a brac, hard case goods and more, all very well priced.
Happily, this thrift is not overwhelming in scope. You’ll enjoy the hunt. Plus the people here are exceptionally kind and friendly.
Gems discovered durning my visit included 2, Mid Century (mid 1970’s) oak etagere bookcases at $120 each. These are $250 + each on Facebook Marketplace. A 1980’s modern, glass top table was $350 instead of $500- 1000 elsewhere. A 1920’s Sheraton buffet was $250 but needed refinishing.
Women’s fashion deals included a NWT’s, White House / Black Market black tweed dress at $49.99 instead of $160. A vintage 1970’s light green, double breasted coat was $39.99. A New York and Company sleeveless blouse was $7.99. A Loft floral sleeveless blouse was $8.99. Paige Denim jeans were just $9.99. A Maeve heart blouse was $18.99 and a vintage black label (tag cut) Armani embroidered silk blouse was $19.99. A vintage BCBGMAXAZRIA double breasted taupe jacket was just $4.99 since pink tags were an additional 50% off!
Designer accessories and shoes are here too! A near mint vintage St. John Lambskin leather quilted, hand bag was $49.99. This would sell on Thred Up at $400+. A blue Coach Satchel handbag was $99.99. Some Michael Kors patent leather kitten pumps were $6.99 and a pair of Cole Haan pumps were $9.99 instead of $50 on Thredup and some Marc Fisher suede pumps were $39.99.
Men are not left out either. A men’s Calvin Klein short sleeve shirt was $8.99. A men’s Karl Lagerfeld dinner/ tux jacket was only $19.99. A stylish mens, 1960’s Scabal jacket was $14.99 instead of $35-100 online and a men’s vintage houndstooth wool blazer was $10.99
The dollar rack in the front of store had a few gems too! A women’s silk floral blouse was $1. Some women’s Rock and Republic jeans were $1 and Calvin Klein silk blazer was $1.
Other good buys included a Schwinn 3 speed, dual sport, bike at $149. A foldable travel iron was 3.99. Pillow shams started at $1. Glassware started at $2 and Books start at $1.

I didn’t buy anything. Wish I had. I’m still thinking about that St John handbag and Armani silk shirt and those etageres… of course, you could beat me to it!
