About Thrift Like Sue

The story behind Chino's favorite vintage and designer thrift boutique. Curated pieces, sustainable style, and a passion for authentic fashion.

Our Story

Thrift Like Sue started with a simple idea: everyone deserves access to quality vintage and designer pieces without breaking the bank. We saw a gap in the market for a thrift store that actually cares about curation instead of just buying everything.

Founded in 2025, we set out to create a boutique experience where every item is hand-selected, quality-checked, and ready to wear. We hunt for authentic vintage gems, authentic designer finds, and timeless pieces that tell a story.

Our name says it all. Sue curates with intention. We don't believe in clutter or compromise. Every piece in our Chino store has been thoughtfully chosen to offer you the best of what secondhand fashion has to offer.

Our Mission

To make sustainable, authentic fashion accessible to everyone in Chino and beyond. We believe in the power of secondhand shopping to reduce waste, save money, and help you find pieces that actually fit your style.

We're not just selling clothes, furniture, and home goods. We're providing a better way to shop. A way that respects the environment, respects your wallet, and respects quality craftsmanship.

What We Stand For

✓

Quality Over Quantity

We hand-pick every piece. No filler, no junk. Only authentic items that meet our high standards.

♻

Sustainable Style

Secondhand shopping reduces waste and gives vintage pieces a second life. That's good for the planet and your closet.

★

Authentic & Real

We guarantee authenticity. Designer pieces are verified. Vintage items are genuine. No knockoffs, no exceptions.

🛍

Affordable Luxury

Premium designer and vintage items at thrift prices. You get the quality without the original price tag.
