Welcome to Buffalo Exchange Richmond!
By Jessica Pruitt, Buffalo Exchange HQ
Here at Buffalo Exchange, we’re proud to announce the newest member of our family – Buffalo Exchange Richmond! The new store is located right in the heart of historic Carytown, alongside tons of independent businesses and great restaurants and just a quick jaunt from VCU. Thanks to a VERY WARM welcome from Carytown residents and our neighboring businesses, the store is off to a great start! We’re so happy to be a part of this unique and thriving neighborhood.
Vintage Decor
Many shoppers are already noticing our store’s unique décor, a mix between Buffalo’s eclectic, vibrant style and the modern-historic feel of Carytown. Complete with vintage pressed tin ceilings and big display windows, this space is beautiful all on its own. To accent the store’s natural charm, our in-house interior design team added hand-painted signs, vintage displays featuring everything from old pachinko machines to one-of-a-kind mirrors and art deco-look tiles.
New Charitable Causes
Of course, with each new store comes the opportunity to support three new charitable organizations through our Tokens for Bags® program! If you’re not familiar, instead of giving out plastic bags, we hand out five cent tokens for customers to donate to one of three rotating charities. Since starting this program in 1994, we’ve kept over 15.4 million plastic bags out of the environment and raised over $774,000 for local nonprofits. The first Richmond nonprofits to join this program are the Richmond SPCA, Equality Virginia and Keep Virginia Beautiful.
Whether you’re located in the Richmond area or will be passing through soon, we’d love to see you in our new store! Stop by to shop for a cause or sell us your closet cleanout. Just like our other locations, you can buy, sell and trade new and used clothing and accessories 7 days a week, no appointment needed. For anything we’re able to purchase, we’ll tell you exactly how much we’ll sell each item for and you’ll receive 30% of that in cash or 50% in store credit on the spot. See you soon, Richmond!

Decades Fashion: Styling My Way Through the Past 100 Years
By Juan, Buffalo Outlet Nogales
Hello everyone! I’m Juan and I’m a cashier at the Buffalo Outlet in Nogales, Arizona. I believe that life is all about appreciating the past while embracing the present and looking forward to the future. And that’s especially true when it comes to fashion. Personally, I find that my style tends to gravitate towards decades fashion with a modern touch – and I seek inspiration from every era. Read ahead to see how I style my way through my favorite decades!
The 1920s through 1940s: A Time for Functionality
When we think of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, we often think of the glitz and glamour of old Hollywood and stars of the silver screen. On the other hand, function and practicality were the priorities for most people during this period and many fashions from the period reflect this: neutral colors and durable pieces made of denim, wool and leather were used in clothing meant to withstand the test of time. For my 1920s decades fashion look, I accessorized with popular pieces of the time like a newsboy cap and a messenger bag.
