Fall Refresh: Four Places to Shop Small and Sustainably in Birmingham, Alabama

The fall season has officially arrived, and while we’re far from colder temperatures here in Alabama, we can still shop like it. But while we shop, we can still shop sustainably. Here are four small businesses in Birmingham that pack a punch without breaking the bank.

Irondale Pickers

Irondale Pickers is located on the outskirts of Irondale. They use the booth model of antiquing, which means an entirely different person curates each booth. Because of this, they have a fantastic mix of home decor pieces from every era!

5401 Beacon Dr, Irondale, AL 35210

Sozo Trading Co.

Sozo Trading Co. is an upscale thrift store in the heart of Avondale. They follow the traditional thrift store model but also feature booths and sustainable goods. I love this thrift store because it’s a great spot to find some low-cost MCM pieces.

4 41st St S, Birmingham, AL 35222

Urban Suburban Antiques

This antique store is on the smaller side but full of specially curated booths with a ton of personality. They have a fantastic mix of furniture and home decor, with the occasional event that features percentages off each booth.

5514 Crestwood Blvd, Birmingham, AL 35212

Cheap Chick Trading Company

Cheap Chick Trading Company is a locally owned and operated resale clothing shop. They carry gently used clothing and accessories for all sizes and genders at prices that can’t be beat. Cheap Chick buys, sells, and trades clothing which means they offer something for every size and style. And if you want to clean out and refresh your wardrobe, make sure to stop by.
