Houston vintage shop Thrifted Threads opens Dallas spinoff in Deep Ellum
A Houston used clothing store is bringing its vintage goods to Dallas: Called Thrifted Threads, it's opening a store in Deep Ellum, with a street address of 2646 Main St. #620. According to a release, the store will open in August.
Thrifted Threads was founded by Laith Awad, who began reselling clothes in 2017, initially as an online store until he opened a location in 2022 in Houston's Montrose District when he was only 18. He opened a second store in College Station in 2023.
Thrifted claims to have the world's largest collection of fashionable second-hand clothes — a bold claim — and also to be "not your average thrift shop," with its mission save the planet by repurposing unique, affordable fashion.
Clothing will come from iconic design eras from the ’70s to the 2000s, and will be arranged by color.
Their Houston store has ball caps, letter jackets, sunglasses, T-shirts, jeans, and more. The location has cozy leather couches, car chasses hanging from the ceiling, a sculpture made of bicycle wheels, and more than one motorcycle, one with a skeleton rider.
In Deep Ellum, they'll join a robust vintage clothing scene that includes vendors such as 2nd Street and Add Vintage Now.
The Dallas location will span 2,500 square feet, and feature an "urban punk" design with graffiti-painted walls and doors, a motorcycle on the retail floor, a free arcade, and free ice cream, lending a unique experience that the release describes as "a hallmark of Thrifted Threads."
Awad is described as having an eye for distinctive fashion coupled with an environmentally conscious commitment to garment recycling places.
He's also a fan of Dallas and Deep Ellum, which is a winning stance for any business opening in Dallas.
"With Deep Ellum’s rich history as the epicenter of the city’s music, arts, and nightlife - I am confident that both the local and international communities will embrace Thrifted Threads with open arms," he says.
