2nd STREET at Yale: Secondhanding Up

In the vibrant Shops at Yale retail district, this 7,600-square-foot, two-floor storefront marks the Japan-based retailer's first Connecticut location. The store specializes in buying and selling unique, on-trend pieces that are hard to find anywhere else. Their curated inventory features:

• Streetwear & Vintage: Sourced from both the US and Japan.
• Designer & Luxury: High-end apparel, premium handbags, and accessories from coveted brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci.
• Japanese Designers: Hard-to-find Japanese archival fashion and contemporary labels.

Beyond being a trendy place to shop, 2nd STREET maintains a strict eco-conscious framework. Through the Hand2Hand project, they donate gently used items for industrial recycling or export to support job initiatives worldwide.
