Behind Buffalo Exchange
Buffalo Exchange has been buying, selling, and trading clothing & accessories since 1974. They offer customers 25% in cash or 50% in trade on-the-spot for current trends, designer, everyday styles, vintage, and one-of-a-kind fashion finds.
In 1974, Kerstin and Spencer Block rented out a small 450-square-foot spot in Tucson, AZ, and filled the store with pieces from Kerstin’s own closet. Soon enough, they had a bustling business buying, selling, and trading the likes of denim skirts handmade by Kerstin, Hawaiian shirts, and Kork-Ease sandals for an average price of $3.50. At the time, there were consignment stores and thrift stores, but no buy-sell-trade clothing stores. Kerstin and Spencer pioneered the concept.
Since then, they have opened locations all across the country and Buffalo Exchange has continued to grow and lead the way in sustainable style, offering customers the option to recycle their clothing and accessories for cash or store trade on-the-spot. Buffalo Exchange is still owned and operated out of Tucson, AZ by Kerstin and her daughter, Vice President Rebecca Block. Kerstin still oversees the daily operations of the business.
