Among the scores of nondescript brick warehouses that spot Kendall, the pink trim of the Garment District shines as a sign of the bargain- shopper's mecca within. You'll find an amazing array of used clothes, shoes, and accessories for men and women. Contemporary items in popular brands average $10-15. In the back room of the store, polyester and psychedelic-print vintage clothes overflow the racks. Brand-new chest wigs, pimp hats, boas, and granny glasses complement anything you may find, especially before Halloween. If you're not satisfied here, try Dollar-a-Pound Plus downstairs, the Garment District's low-brow bargain sister.
