Groovy Thrifty

Groovy Thrifty is a curated vintage and upcycled clothing, accessories, and houseware consignment shop located at 64 Brighton Avenue in Boston’s Allston neighborhood. Founded by owner and operator MacIver, the brick-and-mortar store opened in March and grew from MacIver’s earlier online side hustle selling and upcycling secondhand items. Beyond retail sales, Groovy Thrifty offers custom upcycling, garment mending, and personalized creations, and has become a community gathering space hosting acoustic shows, DJ sets, Panhellenic events, and other local gatherings. The business also participates in pop-up vintage markets throughout New England and maintains an online shopping platform, reflecting MacIver’s commitment to accessibility and sustainability in the secondhand fashion market.
