RARE by Goodwill in Anaheim, CA

I was invited to come check out new concept specialty boutique, RARE by Goodwill back in November but unfortunately couldn't make it to their media preview. I had attended an event and shopped the OC Goodwill boutique in Tustin before and was therefore expecting RARE to be very similar, boy was I wrong when I finally got to stop into the location a couple weeks ago. RARE is a treasure trove of specially handpicked and curated clothing, accessories, and home goods; whereas as the other thrift locations, the items on the sales floor have not been as carefully selected for the store. The artful and intriguing displays and fixtures are r-epurposed items or elements that were taken from the materials used in the daily operations of the Goodwill company, and clothing is hung on recycled hangers; therefore promoting eco-consciousness and sustainability.

One of the most striking displays of the store aside from the old television chandelier, t-shirts situated to create am ombre effect at the cashwrap, and three floating chairs showcasing shoes; is the amazing book wall with the statement 'We are ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY - We are Rare', which perfectly encompasses what the store is all about, and also serves as a great lounging and reading nook. A very exciting feature of the store is the vinyl records section in which you can peruse the wide selection then get to listen to the record with a Crosley record player! Every item is individually priced compared to a flat price for each category of items at the usual Goodwill store; and instead of a 'sticker color' of the day discount, RARE hosts weekend sales such as 25% off bottoms.Visit this beautiful gem of a place that is constantly supporting our community.
