The Rat's Nest was my first thrift excursion in Charlotte. Unfortunately I wasn't shopping for myself, and didn't find anything suitable for the person I was buying for.
However, if I had been buying for myself.... the place would have a hole in it. From folksy tooled-leather purses and bags, to cute sun dresses and all of the cowboy boots of my dreams. When I finally get up the balls to purchase my first pair of cowboy boots, it'll probably be from here. Gently worn-in for you, but still looking great and like they have an interesting history, in all of the sizes, shapes, and colors under the sun. I'll definitely be back.
