Spring into Style at Housing Works’ “Best of Spring” Shopping Events

New York, New York - As the flowers are blooming and the temperatures are rising, Housing Works is gearing up for their annual “Best of Spring” shopping events, in which 10 of their Thrift Shops will feature their best collections of fashion, furniture, and houseware items far below retail prices. Proceeds from each sale will benefit the organization’s mission to end the dual crises of homelessness and HIV/AIDS.

Shoppers will be able to find fancier-than-usual items such as Louis Vuitton x Sofia Coppola Crossbody Bag ($600, 2nd Ave & 64th Street), 3.1 Phillip Lim Leather Shoulder Bag ($125, Soho), Vintage YSL Silk Jacket ($275, 2nd Ave & 64th Street), Seafoam Green Stickley Sofa ($500, Hell’s Kitchen), and Baccarat Crystal Wine Glasses, set of 8 ($400, Broadway & 96th).
