What Is Witch Bitch Thrift?
Witch Bitch Thrift is a size-inclusive thrift store based in New Haven, Connecticut, offering curated secondhand clothing from XXS to 8X+.
Founded with the belief that fashion should be accessible, affirming, and sustainable, Witch Bitch Thrift has grown from a small Instagram-based resale project into a brick-and-mortar storefront and global online thrift shop.
We are proudly women-owned and LGBTQIA+-owned. Our work is rooted in community care, size inclusivity, and ethical resale practices.
A Size-Inclusive Thrift Store (XXS–8X+)
Unlike traditional thrift stores that rely solely on manufacturer tags, Witch Bitch Thrift uses a measurement-based system to sort clothing by how it actually fits.
Vintage stretches. Brands vary. Tags are inconsistent.
That’s why we developed a standardized internal sizing method to ensure customers can shop by fit, not just by label.
We carry:
-
XXS through 8X+
-
Gender-inclusive styles
-
Vintage and contemporary pieces
-
Alternative, witchy, and everyday fashion
-
Plus-size options (without segregating them!)
Our goal is simple: make secondhand fashion easier, more accurate, and more affirming to shop.
Our Mission
Witch Bitch Thrift was built on three core principles:
1. Accessibility
We believe secondhand fashion should be financially accessible and size-inclusive. Over the years, we’ve adjusted pricing structures to better serve our community while maintaining sustainability as a small business.
2. Transparency
We operate with clear policies around purchasing, consignment, and store credit. As our business has grown, we’ve transitioned to fully digital systems to ensure accurate inventory tracking and transaction documentation.
3. Community
Witch Bitch Thrift is more than a retail store. We host events, support local artists, collaborate with vendors, and maintain a Community Fund that allows customers to donate store credit to others in need.
Our Storefront in New Haven, CT
Our physical storefront is located in New Haven, Connecticut. It serves as:
-
A curated thrift destination
-
A gathering space for community events
-
A retail platform for select local artists and makers
We are deeply rooted in New Haven’s creative and alternative communities.
Our Online Thrift Shop
In addition to our storefront, Witch Bitch Thrift operates a fully functional online thrift shop.
Every item listed online is:
-
Individually measured
-
Categorized by actual fit
-
Photographed in-house
-
Inventory tracked digitally
Customers can filter by size, category, and style to reduce the frustration that often comes with online thrifting.
We ship worldwide and process orders through a structured fulfillment workflow designed to maintain accuracy and consistency.
Consignment & Store Credit
Witch Bitch Thrift accepts clothing through a structured intake process.
In earlier years of operation, we experimented with both store credit and cash payout models while operating on primarily paper-based systems. As the business expanded, we transitioned fully to digital inventory tracking and discontinued cash payouts to eliminate administrative errors and improve consistency.
Today, we offer store credit only. This allows us to:
-
Track transactions digitally
-
Maintain transparent documentation
-
Ensure accurate reconciliation
-
Protect both customers and the business
Our policies are clearly outlined on our Clean Out Your Closet page, and we encourage anyone with questions to contact us directly.
