About Crossroads

One of the first companies to pioneer secondhand clothing as an alternative to traditional retail, Crossroads Trading has been buying, selling, and consigning name brand and designer clothing in a friendly, fun, and fashionable atmosphere since 1991.

Since opening the doors of its first location in the heart of San Francisco's Fillmore District, Crossroads has expanded over time to 39 retail locations spanning Northern and Southern California, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Denver, New York, Houston, and Dallas. And in recent years, we have added Sell-By-Mail and Concierge programs to provide convenient new ways for fashionable and eco-conscious customers to sell their gently used clothing.

Crossroads has been featured in Harper's Bazaar, Teen Vogue, and LA Mag, and is widely recognized as an industry leader in the 'resale revolution.' If you like sustainability, fashion, and working in a fun, positive environment, you'll enjoy a career with us!
