“We’re not a rummage-through-the-sales-racks, second-hand store,” says owner Sarah Dunsworth about Junk and Foibles. “This isn’t the kind of place where you have to search through racks and racks of clothes before you find the one great piece.” Instead, Junk and Foibles staffers do all the hard work for you, scouting out and buying “cream of the crop” vintage clothing—like collectible cowboy shirts and “for realie” vintage rock ’n’ roll shirts. There’s none of that super-fake, chain-store reprint stuff for Junk and Foibles shoppers, just the real thing. Mixed in with all the good old stuff, you’ll find an assortment of great new stuff, such as handmade creations from local fashion designers. Awesome. 1533 Barrington, 422-7985
