The Style Exchange is coming back to The Anchor
The Style Exchange, a pop-up style Boston Community Thrift Market, is returning to The Anchor on May 17th. What started as a single event has grown into a series of pop-ups across the city, creating a space where community members can sell their own clothing, shop more sustainably, and refresh their wardrobes without relying on fast fashion, making thrifting accessible, social, and intentional in Boston. Mark your calendars to join the event, and sign up to sell here!
