Not only did the store have really cool vibes, with printed dressing rooms and unique art all over the walls, but every clothing item also had a fancy Alt Rebel tag on it, instead of the bland paper tags you find at regular thrift stores. It’s all in the details, right?! Continue reading “The Coolest Las Vegas Consignment Shop”
