Red Rabbit Bazaar

Red Rabbit Bazaar is a vintage and secondhand clothing boutique located at 54 Columbia Street in downtown Bangor, Maine, founded by Maine native Cara Oleksyk. The shop specializes in hand-picked vintage apparel, footwear, and accessories for all body types, promoting sustainability and circular fashion practices. Originally opened in November 2022 at a Central Street location, the business relocated to its current ground-floor space in March 2024 to improve accessibility. Red Rabbit Bazaar is actively involved in the community, hosting monthly community clothing swaps where 50 percent of proceeds support local mutual aid funds, and plans to use the shop as an event space for artists and musicians. The business operates as a for-profit enterprise dedicated to reducing fashion waste while supporting downtown Bangor’s cultural revival.
