Local bohemian vintage fashion, lifestyle and home goods boutique People of 2morrow (65 Franklin St.) has closed, with plans to expand their retail offerings online. People of 2morrow, which opened in 2013, was located in the same complex as vinyl mecca Academy Records Annex, kids store Flying Squirrel, the charming You & Yours Fine Vintage and behemoth Brooklyn Expo Center.

Where will we go to buy overpriced Goodwill clothes and useless shit with triangles all over them?
Hello, if you were a customer at the shop , you would have realized that People of 2morrow purchased vintage, and designer clothing from **walk in** local sellers, and dealers. It was a buy-sell-trade shop, which gave a decent price for high quality, gently used clothing and accessories to local sellers. Yes sure some clothes might have been purchased at Goodwill or at the Salvation Army for resale , no differnt from all other resale vintage stores.. Your remarks seem harsh and unnessary
The Owner writes that it was a “deliberate move” and the store was an “unbelievable success”. Hmmm hate to break the news to ya’ll at People of Yesterday, but your merchandise was grossly overpriced, your consignment model screwed over local Artists and your store failed because no one wants to pay for used crap they can find for themselves for a dollar at the local Salvation Army.
Hello,
Aftering reading your comment regarding People of 2morrow consignment model, we realized you were misinformed or just spreading incorrect information publicly . One of P02M model was buying all merchandise “outright ” from local sellers and artisans. They very rarely agree to do consigment with artisans. Suggusted retail price is based from the artisans request not the store.
