The Lucky Exchange

This spot has a decent selection of vintage pieces from a variety of periods (not just 90s Levi’s and band tshirts). I brought in some clothes to sell and the employees was very nice with them giving me a fair price for the pieces!

absolutely love this place. Everything is so cute and vintage. The worker was the sweetest they had blue hair idk their name. They were helpful and wanted to make sure that I felt confident in the clothes and that was just a really amazing experience!! 10/10 if I wasn’t just visiting Atlanta, I’d probably shop there weekly loveeeeee

A very lovely place

Such a cute place!! I didn’t have much time to look around but I ended up leaving with a purse, a dress, a vintage jersey & 2 pairs of sunglasses all for under $100!! I couldn’t believe it!! The owner(I think she was the owner)was supppper nice & chill! I’ll be stopping in here next time I’m in Atlanta!! (:

I love the Lucky Exchange!! I've been coming here for years and I never fail to find a vintage treat here 💗 the staff is always kind and accommodating, and they have a wide range of vintage pieces at affordable prices. I'll come here as long as I live here and visit if I ever move 💗

Great pieces and not too expensive! Definitely coming back!

I recently sold some clothes here recently and thought the woman who helped me was very friendly. I was stunned to be offered $85 for the amount of stuff I was leaving, which included never worn designer items. All to say, it’s a good spot if you need to just get rid of nice stuff quickly like I did (I am moving!), but it feels like a rip off if you have a halfway decent sense of the market and worth of your belongings. If you’re not in a rush, just sell it online or donate it — there’s no way you’ll make less than if you bring it in :) I hate to suggest that over working with a local business, but in this case it holds true. I would, however, stop in to browse for items to purchase in the future.

The owner is incredibly nice & respectful, yes the deal she gave me for a formal men's pin-stripe suit was incredibly low and I get that there's costs for taking up rack space, cleaning, etc...but 35$ for a suit (jacket + pants) that was only a year old & originally over 800$ new is a little absurd. Nonetheless though, the managers attitude & respectfulness alone is why I give it a 3-star review, despite the fact that the deal I got was substantially lower than it should have been...next time I am downtown I am going to swing by just to see what she is asking for the suit I sold her for 35$ saying she could at most get maybe 75$ for it. If I see her asking for that then I will bump this review to 4 or even 5-stars because I will know that she was being 100% honest with me, but if she's asking much more than what she claimed was the most she'd be able to get for it then trust me, this review will turn into a 1-star instantly because that would have made her a liar & corrupt....don't take this review the wrong way, it is positive as it currently stands, but like I said if I find out she was lying, things will be different....edit to this review coming soon....

What a great little find! The store is small but the space is used well. They have a great selection of vintage items. We bought a couple items that had a 90's vibe. It's hard for me to call 90's vintage, but I guess it fits in that category. I saw some dresses I really liked. It is definitely on the nicer end of a vintage store so don't expect dirt cheap prices. I didn't think the prices were crazy and outrageous, they seemed pretty appropriate for that type of clothing. The person working had great style and a great attitude. I appreciated her friendliness. If I'm looking for vintage clothing in the future, this place will be one of the first stops on the list.

horrible place to sell. Sells items for 8x the money they give to you. the workers are unaware of what's going on and genuinely have no taste themselves.

I think it's important to note that this is not a thrift store it's a consignment store. And on top of that, this is a VINTAGE consignment store. So they are mainly looking to buy vintage pieces... If you are trying to sell something present day that doesn't even favor a different decade, chances are your stuff won't be bought. I am very thankful for the store and the knowledge of the staff. Especially Gwen, she is very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable! Any other store with vintage pieces like this in the city Is either way more expensive, or doesn't even sell. Rent only. Let's keep lucky alive!

This was my first foray into a wholly vintage clothing shop, from my experience of thrift stores and estate sales all around metro Atlanta, and I'm very happy with what I saw! There were so many unique finds and pieces at the small location, and the woman the front was very kind and welcoming. There is a selection of non-vintage items mixed in, but everything is tagged so you will know what you're looking at. I'm a small/medium sized woman, so you really have to look at the clothes by eye to see if they will fit and then try on. They do not sell vintage reproduction, so no larger sizes that I could see. I am very satisfied with what I got, and the atmosphere is very comforting. Altogether a great choice.

This a unique thrift store. If you are looking for a bargain this a place to check out. They have unique pieces. Prices are reasonably ranged. Located in midtown. I was able to find a vintage orange skirt under $20. They have accessories and clothes with varied styles. I suggest making sure you have time maybe at least hour to try things on and look through things. It's categorized by men's, women's, and children's. A lot of the clothes I saw were unique. They also sell brand name items. They accept credit/debit cards. They also buy gently worn clothes. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Parking is good. Also North Avenue Marta station is nearby. They are in a great location next to Mary Mac's and other great businesses. Support small business Saturday is tomorrow. Check them out.

I haven't purchased anything yet (hence the 4 stars) because I am spoiled by the low fixed pricing system at Goodwill. But the selection here is as eclectic as you would expect without sacrificing quality of appearance and construction. The crew here really means "gently used" and they screen their selections accordingly. I was primarily interested in selling and had a very straightforward and fair pricing experience with Jenn, especially compared to the arbitrary and vague 'seasonal demand' criteria voiced by staff I've worked with at Buffalo Exchange, Plato's, and Rag-o-Rama. That they don't sell kids clothing (none that I saw) the main reason 2 of the pieces didn't make the cut. It didn't hurt that Jenn was personable and very eager to help, even providing guidance on what items to bring in for my next visit. I feel certain that, especially If I'm in the market for dress shoes and leather jackets, there will be a next visit!

Fairly priced, but not cheap vintage and second hand clothes. There seemed to be a mix of actually vintage clothing and things you could get at the mall, just pre-owned. Prices weren't cheap, but seemed fair for the vintage stuff, maybe a little high for the more modern stuff.

Fine for buying but do not try to sell your things here. After 45 minutes of buyer picking through my clothes, was offered pennies on the dollar for them...including solid mid and upper-mid-level labels in new or near near condition. Average was barely above $2 per piece, for items they then sell for $15-20+. I then took my remaining stuff to Buffalo Exchange and Rag-o-Rama and each of them paid me more than double per piece for similar items. Really wish I'd gone to those places first. Seller beware.

Great thrift shop, well curated, clean and air conditioned, two fitting rooms. Sheri the owner is sweet and helpful We stopped in when a wedding singer left his suit in NYC and it was indeed a lucky exchange. Lots of vintage gems in the racks of dresses, vintage Samsonite trunks, Filson garment jacket, Alexander Want shorts... etc.

I drive past Lucky Exchange once a day and always try and remember to stop and shop some time when I'm not juggling coffee and trying to get to work on time. I finally made the commute-esque drive from EAV to Midtown last weekend to do some shopping and wasn't disappointed. The selection here is organized and clearly labeled to prevent embarrassing moments for clods like me who unwittingly find the coolest jackets in the women's section. There's a little bit of everything here with the selection for the men's stuff tending to be in good shape. The overall age of the selection seems to be relatively new (more 1980's and 1990's kind of stuff than the really old items). Sadly, everything I found that I wanted ended up being too small for me. I'll give it another shot in a couple weeks to see how quickly the inventory changes. Check out the selection of belt buckles in the glass case at the register. Still no sign of a belt buckle shaped like Chuck Norris for me (my personal quest), but they had some awesome ones to choose from nonetheless. Parking is available in the lot behind Lucky and Papi's. Do yourself a favor and get a guanabana milkshake from Papi's for your shopping, you'll thank me someday.

Small place with a limited selection of clothing, but there are a fair share of gems here. The tie selection is pretty nice and priced at $11 each, but most of the women's clothes are either too big or not particularly attractive, even for the artistically/vintage inclined dressers. For example, they featured blazers, but those were mostly old 90s ones with unbecoming shoulder pads or random frills on the sleeves. I guess for those who love kitchsy and REALLY vintage-y clothing, this may be their thing, but for the majority of the population it probably isn't. Lucky is also relatively expensive compared to other used clothing shops. In fact, if I had not come with a Scoutmob deal, I'm not sure if I would have purchased anything. I managed to find an awesome dress and a tie for my friend at bargain prices thanks to the deal, but the two things would have actually cost me $40 without it. I guess the reason for this is because the people here are very selective about what they sell, and that it is truly vintage. Your mileage will vary with this store, depending on what kind of fashion you're into. For those truly into vintage, this store may very well be your thing!

I haven't found anything here that caught my eye, but I did have a great selling experience a few weeks back. While I was running around trying to sell some of clothes that were overstuffing my closet and dresser, I made an attempt to hit up as many thrift shops that I could get to in a short amount of time. I was cutting close to 5pm, which is when they stop buying clothes (typically an hour before closing), and I still was at the another shop waiting in line. I decided to try my luck by calling to see if the buyer could squeeze me in. The employee assured me that she could still take a look at my items and would wait until I got there before she would stop selling. Sure enough, when I got there, I was greeted with a smile and she took a look at all my garments, buying a good amount of them. I got credit b/c after such a great customer experience, I had to have a reason to come back! Plus, this location, though a bit further out in the boonies, is bigger and more open than the other location on ponce. You have more room to shop without feeling like the clothes are caving in on you.

Went here today, to find something for my husband to wear to a "Mad Men" themed party. The service was excellent! I didn't get the lady's name that assisted me, but she was awesome! I told her what the event was, my husband's sizes, and she found me the perfect outfit! She wasn't pushy and seemed like she was really "into" the look that I was trying to achieve. I found an awsome vintage blazer and slacks for him, and the perfect tie to match. We talked about what color shirt to put underneath and what accessories to get. We looked at shoes, but they didn't have what I needed in his size (not suprised, he has huge feet) but she suggested what type of shoes to look for. It was a really fun shopping experience and I will defintly shop there again; maybe for myself this time!

I absolutely love this place!!! Okay, so you know in the movies where the "model" type girls go into a "vintage" boutique that is filled with authentic bane brand clothes, rows of hippie clothes and stands of "Elton John" sunglasses? This is it!!!! I felt like I was in that movie. Lol Nestled in the heart of Atlanta next off Ponce you will find this little gem. If your in the market for a gasby themed dress, or cool 60s clogs, I am certain your needs will be met here! Aalaia, the manger is a cool, hip manager that will greet you with a smile. Friendly and helpful will compliment your purchases and give you the confidence you made the right choice with your purchases. I bought a beautiful authentic (with dust bag) Tori Birch handbag, a Free People dress, and a simple but elegant shirt.

I love their selections. I was visiting out of town and my best friend and I stumbled upon it. I wish they had an online store. Lots of name brands.

Sherry was very unhelpful, very unsure about what she wanted to buy out of my items. Looked through a 70 dollar bracelet and priced it at 2 dollars. Oh well, thanks Sherri!

Wow, what a Mall! I truly enjoy the Galleria mall so much I went twice and was only in Atlanta two full days!

This place would be ok. but I went there on Sunday November 22nd and the only guy working there was awful. He was not helpful. He was rude. He acted like he was irritated people were in there. There were a lot of people in there. And, one customer commented saying "it's never this crowded." Again, the man working there didn't bother to help anyone in the store. I did buy two good pairs of jeans. I would have bought a lot more had he been nicer. I wanted to put back the jeans I was buying when he was ringing me up because I tried to ask him question and he didn't even look up to answer. There are plenty of other stores like this that are better and the employees are nicer. Go somewhere else.

Well all know Vintage is the way to go when your looking for price savy exclusivity! Well, my sister and I were on our way to grab dinner at Little Azio on Moreland (try the Tortellini entree, its awesome!), and I saw a new store in the same plaza. Its called the Lucky Exchange. There are two locations, theres the new location I visited at 749 Moreland Ave Atlanta, GA 30316, and theres the original location at 212 Ponce De Leon Ave Atlanta, GA 30308. The Lucky Exchange reminds me of a smaller version of The Clothing Warehouse. It is very organized and easy to shop vintage and modern clothing and accessories. They have some cute accessories, I questioned the quality of some of the pieces but there were some cute things there. There is something else that makes the Lucky Exchange different and its all in the name. They specialize in the resale of Men's and Women's clothing and accessories. They offer cash and store credit for unique or name brand apparel and accessories. Lucky Exchange asked that the clothing is clean, free of stains, and needs no repair. For any other details give them a call. So if your interested in shopping for something new and different pieces, try the Lucky Exchange. Or if you interested in transitioning your wardrobe, bring your fabulous fashions in to Lucky Exchange and get something new!

Thrift shopping can often leave you feeling dead inside. As I sift through the oft-smelly racks, imagining the sad, slow death of a woman who wore ostentatious hats and broken brooches , I usually conclude it's not worth the mental anguish and questionable karma to bring any of the stuff home. If I can get past my vivid imagination, I rarely find anything my size, anyway, unless it's truly vintage. And if it's truly vintage, then it's too pricey for the likes of me. Long story short, I *like* the idea of thrift shopping but haven't the patience nor dampened olfactory sense to go through with it. Lucky Exchange is radcakes because it's already done the hard part by excising the completely unworthy. So you're left with stuff that's in pretty good condition, doesn't smell of rigor mortis, and maybe has a place in your thrift-seeking heart. I copped two dresses recently, which is exactly two more than I've ever scored. Wheeeeeeee!

Me: *opens up door to the shop* Hello how are you (said to the employee) Employee: *blank stare....followed by Cricket noises* Umm okay... So the staff working that day was definitely not the friendliest, I mean how much effort does it take to say a hello or goodbye? Which is why I can only give 2 stars. Anyhow, Lucky is a consignment store which you can buy, sell, and trade. Kind of like Plato's but more hipster/vintage. They have a decent men's section, purses, shoes,and jewelry as well. All in all ..not bad.. just wish the employee was a tad friendlier!

Ok, I want to preface this by saying I don't typically write bad reviews... To tell the truth, this is my first thus far on Yelp. Furthermore, I want to add that if you are wealthy and go to thrift stores solely to get unique stuff you cannot find in the mall, disregard this review. This store does have cool things, don't get me wrong. It is just, for the most part, thrifty shoppers like myself go to consignment stores and the like to purchase, well, deals. I mean, come on, you are shopping for used clothing! Nevertheless, I have purchased items from my fave consignment store, The FIner Consigner, at a premium in comparison to other thrift stores. But that is in a different, more upscale setting in the suburbs in a town I grew up in called Alpharetta and they have top, designer labels. From what I have observed the few times I have been there, Lucky Exchange really does not. As I am looking over the reviews to my right, I feel as though my review somewhat contradicts the others in regards to price. In my opinion, the price for their used clothing is definitely high. My scale is based on the notion that if something used is being sold at a price comparable to a price in a mall, then that is not cool. May I repeat Lucky Exchange, you are a USED CLOTHING STORE- used clothing=deals. None there, from what I observed. But, to be fair, I will list what I observed: dresses, shirts, and necklaces. It could ironically be that other types of items are cheap??!! I doubt this, but I figured I would mention it. Also, I had difficulty finding small sizes. I suppose it was just the selection I looked over. To conclude, sorry Lucky Exchange, I will update this review when you adjust your prices accordingly with your industry.

You won't find a leprechaun here, but you might find some interesting pieces to add to a costume for Halloween or a theme party at a price you can bargain for! This is a little one room shop off of Ponce that I have both driven by and walked by several times during my years at Tech. Finally, I stopped by a little before Halloween and was lucky to find so many interesting garments and accessories that would make anyone's wardrobe stand out. I found this awesome long linen dress from the 60s that must have been owned by a Heidi during her hippie phase. The man wanted about 100 dollars for it because apparently it was a special make. Of course I couldn't afford that much for a potential German beer made costume. So after talking to him for awhile, I managed to get it down to 50 dollars. That's what I love so much this small boutique!

So torn! I want to give this a 3.5.... So what you see in the picture is pretty much 70% of the entire store...there's a middle rack of a square, and the surrounding 3 walled panels had really outlandish/outdated clothes that I would never wear or buy save for Halloween or for sorority-type themed ordeals. The last panel facing the window was focused on men, but there wasn't much that caught my eye. I thought if it was a smaller selection, that it would be a more focused/better one, but alas that is not true...there was anything from Banana Rep to Mossino (the Target brand), to weird and ugly dresses and Forever21 dresses, to over-the-top vintage lace tops. The crazy thing, some of the pricing was not good for a second-hand shop; meaning forever21 dresses for 20 bucks....that's like the price for a new one...and designer stuff was upwards 40 minimum...The condition of some of the things weren't that great either...like buttons to a regular shirt were obviously ripped off but it was still $20. I don't usually buy shoes second hand, but the selection here wasn't that great... Small unfocused selection + inconsistent pricing leaves me with a 3, but the owner let us stay a bit after it closed so that's like 0.5 more points. HOWEVER, there was a couple that wanted to come in and I tried to open the door, but it was locked since the store was closed...they looked confused and I felt like an awkward witch because I couldn't do anything but continue to browse while they were outside. So minus that extra 0.5. Heed my advice, go to Rag-O-Rama. I found an Alexander Wang dress worth $600 for $30, in new condition.

I have to be honest and say I haven't actually even been in the boutique yet! I called today to inquire about some things and spoke with Nina. She answered all my questions, she joked around with me, she was detailed in what they are looking for in pieces! I can't wait to go there this week. Forvwgat is worth, it's a big deal in this type of industry to have employees that can speak properly on the phone and have a personality. I won't say it by it's specific name but there is a certain shop also on Ponce near the Landmark Diner that seems purposely hire the most horrid people they can find.

I came here expecting a lot more but was kind of disappointed. They had a decent selection but everything was very unorganized on the racks making it hard to find the correct size I needed. It's bad enough that I don't like going to malls or shops in the first place to search for clothing but when there's no simple organization that makes things frustrating for me. The store was clean and the staff was nice. Went looking for Blazers and bow ties but found too many snap on bow ties and not the real deals that you have to do-it-yourself. I had been planning coming here for weeks and when I finally came......well, I walked out with nothing. Bummer.

I'd say I have about a 50% rate of finding something awesome here, which those who are vintage shoppers know is a pretty high rate of success. I love the relatively recent switch up where they now sort by size rather than color: I hated coming across the absolutely perfect dress only to find it in a size 2. Now I just live in blissful ignorance. Prices certainly aren't thrift, but I don't feel like it's especially overpriced. They've done the thrift digging and dirty work for you expect to pay an upcharge. They've also got a decent sale rack and a nice selection of new stuff like brightly colored sunglasses and plastic earrings. Oh, and a decent men's selection: a rarity in this world. It's a small shop and you've got to park around back, but it's worth a stop if you've got some time.

I love the selection of vintage clothes at this store! There are so many fun pieces and gems to be found on the racks of this shop. The prices are pretty reasonable for the most part, but there are a few pieces here and there that seem to be a bit on the pricy side. The store is very well organized. The items are sorted by color which makes it easy to peruse. Not only are the clothes fun and lovely, but they have a great selection of jewelry and accessories, as well. The last time I went, I had to force myself to walk away from the jewelry shelves. I ended up settling for a gold oversized ring, but I had to resist the temptation to buy the long beaded necklaces and gemstone rings. The girl working behind the counter wasn't particularly warm and friendly as she talked on her cell phone and made plans for the evening, but I was so pleased with the offerings of the store that it really didn't bother me.

DO NOT waist your time visited this place to consign an authentic Louis Vuitton bag and the lady was rude and had the nerve to tell me my bag wasn't real when I purchased it myself from the store. The store is sub par and prior to me selling my things I always look around to see if I'd want to buy as well there was absolutely nothing I would want to buy out of this place. Horrible customer service and racially profiles. Do NOT shop here.

When i first moved to Atlanta, i LOVED Lucky Exchange. i always found something in there that i liked. the staff was lovely & helpful and it made my visit so much fun. fast forward to now.. i went here on saturday. blah. no goods, like they used to have. i've been in there so many times...i can't find anything! the staff working wasn't very welcoming...my experience was just blah. boo.

I've browsed through this Lucky Exchange location several times after it opened in '07 and have made two purchases to date: the first, a teal dress that buttons up front like a retro polo and cinches via elastic just above the waist, complemented with white shoulder and neck piping; and the latest, a dangerously short vintage dress with a navy body, mustard yellow long sleeves and red accents at the tips of the sleeves and neckline. I hooked a safety pin through one of the buttonless holes. A lot of the tops and skirts remind me of Express circa 1994--and I just don't envision that recircling into my style palate. The other day I noticed a watermelon dress; the red bib was covered in watermelon seeds with a green rind around the periphery. I just haven't found much that suits me.

Visiting from NJ and stopped in to this little gem of a store. They have a nice clean wide variety and selection. Customer service was pleasant and friendly.

I have to agree with Katrina D. with the pricing of this place. I would not pay $17 for a USED forever 21 dress, or $12 for a USED plain black skirt. And so I didn't! I walked out with a pair of fun earrings for $9, but I am obsessed with earrings so...:/ I walked in on Sunday afternoon a half hour after they opened, and the first thing I notice..HOT HOT HOT!!! A/c was not working. No one else was in the store and there was a guy sitting behind the counter doing NOTHING and was not at all chatty. :( The variety was alright I suppose...if you are into vintage stuff. Clothes had that dry, stale, starchy feel to it...just like that forgotten dress you pushed way back into the closet. I was not impressed. I must say they had pretty cool boots though. Large selection of sunglasses. There appeared to be a pretty decent selection of men's clothing. I suppose this store is more of a vintage store...which may justify its 'high' prices...because it certainly isn't a thrift store. Tip-bits: Need ID to sell clothes/things to them. Parking on the side street or at the back

I'm a thrift store shopper and I think my style reflects that. Perhaps, however, I am not vintage chic enough for this store. I sold some clothing here a couple weeks ago and struggled to find anything that wasn't extremely overpriced that I liked. I came back a week later and had the same problem. Several of the items were broken or had stains (which I expect at most thrift stores, but not when they are asking so much for each item). I have much better luck at Goodwill- and at least my money goes to charity there. Service was friendly and they have some unique vintage clothing, but I can't get myself to pay that much for it.

I haven't lived in Atlanta for over five years, but I go back frequently and always try to discover new places to shop and booze. Over the holidays, the Lucky Exchange was my favorite retail find. I've been going to Psycho Sisters in Little Five Points to sell clothes since high school and have continually grown disillusioned with them over the years. After this past visit to PS, I pulled out my iPhone and looked for another place to go and, thankfully, TLE was right down the road. I'm so so grateful to have found this place for when I go back now, both for shopping and selling clothes. Beautiful vintage dresses and accessories, all very reasonably priced. And, most importantly, the girl working seemed to really appreciate the pieces she took from me. Nothing irks me more than taking in clothes, and the employees act like they are doing you a massive favor by taking your Miu Miu cardigan for $6. (Hi, Pyscho Sisters.) Yay, Lucky Exchange! I will be back next visit.

I stopped in while waiting for my table to be ready at Mary Mac's Table Room and I'm so glad that I did! I absolutely loved the sunglasses and ended up purchasing some rose colored glasses that made my inner hippie very happy. I also found a cute 1980s beaded blazer that surprisingly fit perfectly! Y'all I came out of the dressing room feeling like Andi in Pretty in Pink! I would also like to point out that the lady working the register was very hip, she had beautiful pink curly hair and she was super sweet (unfortunately I didn't catch her name). Oh and everything was reasonable priced.I think I'm in love with this little shop! If you're in the area definitely stop by, you won't be disappointed.

The Lucky Exchange has a well edited selection of vintage (and some newer) goods - they are really selective about what clothes they will buy from you. The prices are a bit higher than somewhere like Plato's Closet but a bit more reasonable than L5P vintage places. The rotating cool outfits in the window bring in traffic from their random location on Ponce and people that know about their cool selection return often. I found a nice pair of vintage cowboy boots (too small so no purchase from me!) and some other cool accessories here too.

If you're on the prowl for vintage clothes, you'll find far better pricing here than you would over at the shops in Little 5 or Decatur. Sale racks are also a good bargain here, so don't hesitate to start digging! Modern clothes, however, can be a bit overpriced. And yet that's a trend in Atlanta. When we're not willing to go to Goodwill for clothes, these vintage shops know that and charge a lot more for everything. Still, I can't help but enjoy browsing here. Everything from a super huge gold belt (we're talking WWF-style) to leather jackets to adorable dresses is here, and there's a pretty decent selection for every size. There's even a sizable men's section, so your boy can't get too bored if he's tagging along. The staff seems friendly every time I've come in, and the last time I showed up right at closing and the cashier let me come in anyway while she started to close up shop. I thought that was a nice gesture in a world where you're normally kicked out 10 minutes before closing. So it's good for vintage clothing, a good browse, and lots of accessories at reasonable prices. A Forever 21 outfit, however, is often not worth the cost unless it's on sale.

There are definitely some fun pieces here. I like how everything is sorted by size so you know your target spot once you go in. I will have to say that the fitting room curtains are very... flow-y and I'm always worried that someone can see me changing. I guess the only real complaint I would have is that the prices aren't very thrift friendly so I didn't end up getting anything on my visit.

How can you not LOVE this place?! I am totally obssessed!! Now that I live in New York - any time I come to ATL, the Lucky Exchange at Ponce has literally been one of my number one stops. Seriously, this is the best vintage shop I have encountered so far and by far the best one in Atlanta. True.. I wouldn't call it a consignment type shop.. I wouldn't come here looking for recent fashions and designer labels at great prices although you might stumble upon some if you're lucky. The best things here are 70s, 80s vintage, kitchsy and fun. Because I mean fashion lately has only been recycling things from the past and much more muted and plain - so why not go for the original which is oftentimes more of a statement. Some of my ALL TIME favorite items in my closet have been found here: a pair of cowboy boots, a cowboy boot necklace, a 70s flowy long sleeve tshirt, a 70s owl ring, a 70s orange skirt with chunky gold hardware, lots of oversized chunky wool sweaters from the 80s, and a super sequined top from the 80s. I've also found some vintage name brand items - a magaschoni cashmere vest for like $15, a hermes infinity scarf for $25, a catharine malandrino silk scarf for $5. You really have to spend like over an hour here really going through everything, trying things on and digging. You don't really know what would look great on you and what wouldn't because everything is sooo unique. The ladies there have great taste and style and are really picky about what they buy so you really are guaranteed something fun. I literally have NEVER walked out of there empty handed. Most recently I got a Brighton collectibles crossbody bag with silver Brighton hardware - so 90s mom style but I love it, and a large sized silk shirt from the 80s that I plan on wearing as a shirt dress :) Also - they recently started organizing things by size instead of color which made things 100000X easier to browse through. YAY!! As for pricing - it's no Plato's Closet - but the things they sell are VINTAGE not just recently used. I think for vintage, the pricing is very very fair. I've seen those full body sequined dresses here that are a staple at any vintage shop for only $50. In fact dresses in general are almost always below $50 and sweaters below $20. If you venture over to Little 5 that is certainly not the case. and in NYC, I've seen the same type dresses they have at Lucky Exchange for over $200 (no name brand, just vintage). Which is why Lucky Exchange remains my all time favorite vintage store... nationwide!

I just happened to be walking on Ponce and stumbled across this place. I thought they had a great variety of clothes, but being being vintage clothes, none were going to fit my size-12 body or my size 10 feet. I did see a pair of earrings that, drool worthy as they were, were very reasonably priced at 9 bucks. Why I'm so jazzed about this shop is I almost *never* find sunglasses I like, and I found the most awesome pair here that went home with me. At 15 bucks, I thought they were a bit overpriced, but then again I'd never seen any sunglasses like these. I was a bit disappointed that when I asked what their UV rating was and the sales girl couldn't tell me. Also, she had been eating her lunch when I came in and I'm sorry, but I really didn't want her greasy, potato-chip-covered fingers handing me my new sunglasses. I *would* come back, however, periodically to scope out the new merch.

i've had great luck at this place! a couple of months ago i found a vintage (circa 1980's) fred perry warm-up jacket that i absolutely love. we went back this past weekend to try our hand again, and this time i found a vintage puma track jacket. the prices are extremely reasonable. the fred perry jacket cost about $24, but we had a scoutmob deal that cut that in half, so it ended up being $12. same deal with the puma jacket. it was $26, which was a killer deal, but i got it for ~$13 with a coupon. the women's selection is a bit trickier. there are lots of vintage dresses, some that are unique and interesting, others that are just plain tacky and terrible. but that's what makes this place great...despite the small size, there's a little something for everyone. tori found a gaudy ring encrusted with a plethora of blue plastic 'gems,' a treasure of a find and, for us, a makeshift engagement ring. :) lucky exchange doesn't have the selection of someplace like psycho sisters or rag-o-rama, but it's got character, and that counts for a lot. i'm sure we'll be back in a few weeks to dig some more classic needles out of the proverbial haystack. we also have yet to try their other location on ponce. that should prove to be an adventure in and of itself. can't wait!!

I'm sooooo addicted to Lucky Exchange!! I love this place! There are many consignment and vintage shops in L5P that are great, but a bit overpriced (with the exception of Rag-O-Rama). The prices here at Lucky are so affordable! They're pretty selective of their inventory and you can usually find some sweet labels on the racks. It's organized and the staff is friendly but doesn't badger you while you shop. Costumes to everyday clothes can be found here! I guarantee you'll get Lucky @ Lucky Exchange...well, for great clothes, that is.

There are so many great thrift stores in Atlanta. Why do I like Lucky Exchange the best though? First of all, they carry a great selection for both men and women. Whatever time period you are looking for, you are very likely to find it there. Sometimes I have a very specific piece or look that I am in search of and every single time I have been in I tell the sales associate what I want and she immediately knows exactly what I'm talking about and helps me put together the perfect outfit. It has gotten to the point where Lisa knows both my size and my style. Nothing is better than that. Not only does she find things that she KNOWS I'll love but she also gives me great suggestions that I wouldn't normally try which is something I truly appreciate. Looking for the perfect thrift store? You have found it!

its a very nice small thrift store. they don't have a huge selection to overwhelm you, however ,i find many of the items are too pricey. I'm not an expert at thrift shopping but my sister saw the same H&M blouse that she brought for $5 a year ago on the rack for $7. the AC was also broken when we came in, which i didn't mind too much. but it made the air stuffy which probably contributed to me losing my shopping appetite.

I just went to go sell some things to them. For the three dressed they took, I got $40 in store credit (the alternative was $20 in cash). Not bad! Plus, the very nice cashier helped me find my car keys when they fell out of my bag.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the "thrift" clothing stores in L5P, whether it be the unreasonable prices or sifting through lots of duds on the racks. I typically leave those places empty handed and a little dizzy. But this place, I can become a fan of. There seems to be a discerning eye for what they buy, which is great for me! And the clothing isn't unreasonably expensive, another plus. Add in a sweet sales girl and proximity to morelli's ice cream, and I'm a true believer.

disclaimer: I'm a Platos Closet shopper. a friend told me about the Lucky Exchange, and being by my house, I had to check it out. I was impressed with the selection in such a small space! They have a great jewelry & dress selection - I bought a pair of 99 cent earrings and I wear them all the time! The prices are a little high, but you can always find decent clothes on the sale rack. Plus they have frequent shopper cards that offer a discounts. The people are friendly & personably. I like that the owners work at their own store. All in all its a great little store.

This is a nice little shop away from the *tween* hustle of the L5P weekend. The shop is clean, welcoming and well sorted with easy to identify sections. There is a large selection of dresses, but there seems to be a lack of skirts (my fav) and other clothing items. If they can bolster their skirt supply I might give out an extra star.
