From Francesca Buffo, founder of Lady Holiday:

The Hidden Clothing Basement

While ARF Thrift Shop is primarily known for their home furnishings in Wainscott, don't miss their basement that is dedicated to clothing! This often-overlooked lower level contains exceptional fashion finds that many shoppers never discover while focusing on the furniture upstairs.

Beyond Pet Support

The ARF Thrift Shop does wonderful work supporting animal rescue, but what many don't realize is just how exceptional their inventory is. Their furniture and decorative items receive most attention, but dedicated thrifters know to explore every corner of this multi-level treasure trove.

Inside Tip 📌

Always check their basement first! Most shoppers head straight for the furniture, giving you a quieter opportunity to browse their clothing collection. The basement's lower traffic means items stay in better condition and you'll have space to properly examine potential purchases.

About

I’m Francesca Buffo, founder of Lady Holiday. Before starting this passion project, I spent years working for brands like Ralph Lauren, Repetto, Cath Kidston, and Stubbs & Wootton — places that taught me the value of storytelling, heritage, and lasting style. Lady Holiday is my way of sharing that love through carefully sourced vintage jewelry, each piece with its own little sparkle and story.
