The best part of Buffalo Exchange is the fantastic variety of inventory that comes through every single day. We went shopping at our San Diego Buffalo Exchange to find out what’s on offer!
This “Needle & Thread” dress has some unbelievable hand-embroidered beading! Originally retailing for $649, this amazing gem can be found in perfect condition at our store for only $60!
Nylon mentioned Buffalo Exchange in “5 Things I Learned From Living Zero Waste” on January 24, 2017: “Buying recycled clothing is significantly more rewarding than fast fashion…I hit up my local Buffalo Exchange to shop for secondhand threads. My mission? To find a party look that stood out among a sea of Zara knockoffs. I scored a unique pair of square-toed metallic gold heels and an embroidered velvet dress. I looked great, and the fact that I shopped responsibly made me feel that much more confident.”
You can’t go wrong with the classic combination of your favorite jeans and a tee, but a few simple additions can go a long way towards kicking your style up a notch for 2017! Find out our top 3 ways to wear jeans and a T-shirt.
Whether you’re meeting your girlfriend’s parents or heading out for a mountain adventure, this look has you covered. Start by grabbing your favorite vintage tee, then layering a flannel button-down like this great wool Pendleton over it. Add some classic chinos for an effortlessly dressed up feel and throw a retro color-blocked jacket on top. Polish it off with a classic cap and a pair of Doc Marten desert boots and you’re ready for any adventure that comes your way.

At Buffalo Exchange, we know that we owe our success to the communities that surround us. That’s why giving back has always been built into our business model. For the past 22 years, Buffalo Exchange has been supporting the arts in its birthplace of Southern Arizona through the Buffalo Exchange Arts Award. According to Spencer Block, art is not the cherry on top – it’s essential to the well-being of society.
The Pueblo Chieftain mentioned Buffalo Exchange in “Coats for Cubs drive brings Warmth, Bonding to Orphaned Wildlife” on January 18, 2017: “Coats for Cubs was founded originally by the Humane Society of the United States in 2005. Buffalo Exchange became involved in 2006 and in 2011 took over the operation as costs became too great for the Humane Society…The drive, which runs until April 22, has collected more than 12,000 coats since 2006. Last year, the drive collected and redistributed 1,178 furs…The furs provide bedding for animals. …”

As a Buffalo Exchange shopper since 2004, Dakotah has long been devoted to recycled fashion and sustainability. Over the years, she’s developed her signature athleisure style while shopping at Buffalo. It should come as little surprise, then, that during one of her frequent shopping and selling trips, Dakotah was approached to join the team. She jumped at the opportunity!
Dakotah began as a Buyer in February of 2015 and, as she learned more about brands, styles and trends, her passion for the resale clothing industry grew stronger than ever before. About a week before her one-year anniversary with Buffalo Exchange, an Associate Manager position opened. Dakotah decided to apply and, well, the rest is history!

With the New Year upon us, it’s a great time to find ways to give back! Every year, Buffalo Exchange runs Coats for Cubs, a donation drive that collects real fur coats and trimmings to provide comfort for orphaned and injured wildlife. Now through April 22nd, we will be collecting real furs on behalf of wildlife rehabilitators across the country.
Continuing the work of the Humane Society of the United States, Buffalo Exchange has held the Coats for Cubs fur drive annually since 2006. Over the years, we’ve collected over 12,000 fur donations to aid in animal rehabilitation and 1,170 in 2016 alone!
