OUR STORY

For over 25 years, Trader K's -located in the beautiful Ithaca Commons- has been buying, selling and trading gently-used clothing and accessories to the Ithaca community and beyond. Starting two decades ago with a modest, 900-square-foot store on the outskirts of the Commons, the local owners have since moved the bustling business to a sprawling, 4,000-plus-square-foot central Commons storefront and opened Trader K's 2, an equally large second boutique to serve the Lansing and Cayuga Heights neighborhoods. Trader K's and Trader K's 2 have grown to be known and loved as two of the largest independently-owned used clothing stores in New York State.

We pride ourselves on looking through each and every piece of clothing that comes in to make sure you get the best selection, quality and prices we have to offer. We put out 500 to 1,000 pieces of clothing a day at each location so our inventory changes daily. Every shopping trip to trader K's and Trader K's 2 is different from the last!

With the option of cash or trade, you can choose what best suits you and your lifestyle when selling items for our stores. We carry men's, women's, and children's clothing, shoes, accessories and even toys, so there is something for everyone at Trader K's and Trader K's 2. Stop in and see why we have been voted Ithaca's best used clothing store!

Due to loss of lease, after 6 successful years we had to close Trader K's 2, but Trader K's on the beautiful renovated Ithaca Commons continues to thrive and offer the finest used clothing in Central New York for over 21 years.
