Hipsters? The designer-brand store concept makes sense, especially when you find out that store is in California’s Orange County, home of Disneyland and an awful lot of suburban wealth. The Goodwill mini-store concept has apparently mated with an Urban Outfitters or some kind of similar shop, producing a new kind of store: Rare by Goodwill.
The store is, effectively, a thrift store that contains only the hippest, bestest thrift store items. While this eliminates the treasure-hunt aspect to thrift shopping that many people enjoy, it also eliminates the hours spent combing racks filled with glittery vacation,themed shirts that haven’t yet come back around to hipness yet.
