Ecologie Resale & Vintage - Kennesaw, Georgia

I LOVE ECOLOGIE! I visit the Atlanta area multiple times a year and always stop here to pick up great thrift/vintage finds. The prices are reasonable, the selection is great, I love how the store is organized, and I love the new dollar bin! The staff is always friendly and helpful. See you again soon

Ecologie Resale & Vintage is truly a one of a kind hidden gem. Plus, they host such an amazing annual festival called the Ecologie Festival! This festival is not just amazing for the pieces you find but it’s who they bring together to make it such a memorable experience. Oh and their focus on sustainability is so necessary. I would recommend their shop to any and everyone; thanks Ecologie!

This is my girlfriend’s favorite store in the world. We love spending an afternoon picking out clothing to try on and eventually buying some of it. They recently added a homegoods side of the store which also has vintage furniture, kitchen goods, and art. They definitely have more female clothing than male, but I still find lots to look through. Great store!

Long-time shopper at Ecologie and I’ve always found the most amazing pieces here.

You must lock your bag away before trying anything on which is perfectly acceptable.

Prices are extremely fair.

Love their new furniture expansion - can’t wait to come back. 🙂

As far as shopping: The clothes are mostly vintage and mostly decently prized (I bought a cute NWT sarong from the 50s for about $10)! However, I've seen a lot of modern brands (Zara, H&M, etc.) that are not vintage and the style is not what they claim to sell. However, there are several items during my trips to the store that are worn, old, torn, etc. and they are prized for at least $20 which I find crazy. As some of the comments mentioned before, the environment/vibe of the store is not welcoming at ALL. I truly feel like I'm being watched at every waking second when I'm walking around the store and the staff are not the kindest (except 2-3 employees). I'm not sure if it is because of my ethnicity/race (as other reviewers have emphasized this) but it is not enjoyable in the least.

As far as re-selling: DO NOT SELL YOUR ITEMS HERE! I truly, truly wanted to have a good experience re-selling here but every time I try it is always a headache. Firstly, I bring in all of my items nicely folded and EVERY TIME they are returned thrown into my bag/bin. It is simply not that hard to fold up a t-shirt or a dress when it is presented in that way. Plato's closet folds my clothes back up so why can't a 'curated' store do the same? Secondly, they do not seem to grasp what vintage clothing is. I've brought in vintage coats (easily searchable with the clothing tag) and they are returned every time. But the random deadstock graphic tees I brought in were taken? It does not add up. They pass up on a lot of nice quality clothing, such as GAP, Banana Republic, Ralph Lauren, etc. but always take target brands for example.

OVERALL: I don't get the hype around the store, but more so I don't like the shopping or the selling experience, you're better off going anywhere else to buy real vintage/unique finds and selling your clothes to Plato Closet, uptown cheap stake, etc. My friends who shop/sell here have had similar experiences so keep that in mind.

first time here, traveling from florida and absolutely loved it! as someone who also works in the resell business, the prices were not cheap but were respectable for the quality of vintage and curated pieces. we really loved the vintage home goods section and wanted to take it all home!
if you’re looking for something super unique, highly recommend! we will definitely be back on future trips! great vibes in the store, highly organized and super nice staff!

Ive been buy here for years and their stuff is cute but honestly the prices have gotten a little nuts. I saw an aerie tshirt that have at home and bought for $7 they had it for $9.99

Also charming charlie stuff for crazy prices like ik it’s gone but that place was cheaper than H&M ?

This store is so funky and fresh with the cutest clothes ! The staff is kind and the finds are endless. It is a bit pricier than your typical « thrift » place but it’s worth it.

I’ll be back!
