Shopkeepers all around New York are trying to entice reluctant shoppers, and Collecther, a vintage clothing boutique in Bed-Stuy, seems to be ahead of the game. Sundays there are now “Recessionista Sundays” with all the dresses going for only $25, and you also get a complimentary mimosa! Collecther also offers free alterations to clothing purchased there, so if it’s just a tad too loose, you can easily get it taken in at the store.
Collecther is just a train ride and a short walk away– the free drink and dress should more than make up for the $2.00/$2.50 that you spent on the subway.
“Recessionista Sundays” at Collecther
Every Sunday 12-6 PM
306 Franklin Ave, and Lafayette
Take the C train and walk a couple blocks north or, if you can, take the G train and it’s just a block away.

This was great!! The owner, Shana, was super friendly and helpful, plus the store is super cute and close to Fort Greene which is also pretty sweet. Spent a nice day in B’klyn and will definitely be back!
Hope you do more of these!
