Bazar Segunda Vuelta: Your Purchase will Support Charities and the Environment

Tucked away in Puerto Vallarta‘s bustling heart is a sanctuary for sustainable fashion enthusiasts: Bazar Segunda Vuelta Thrift Store. Under the diligent leadership of Tere Hernandez, this boutique stands as a testament to eco-conscious fashion, mindful shopping, and the spirit of community kinship.

Thrift stores and consignment shops have been a cherished part of my life since childhood. Growing up in Victoria, BC, I have vivid memories of “The Horsey Store,” marked by its signature motorized horse outside, offering rides at the nostalgic price of 10 cents. Looking back, I realize the significance of these stores in our lives. My single mother, raising two fashion-conscious daughters, masterfully navigated the world of consignment.

It was more than just economical savvy; it was about empowering us to embrace our unique styles without the constraints of simple hand-me-downs. Bazar Segunda Vuelta embodies this spirit. Beyond its aisles filled with curated treasures, the store provides an ambiance where every shopper can rediscover their sense of fashion, experiment with diverse styles, and find pieces that resonate with their personality, all while staying budget-friendly.

Originating from Love

In conversation with Tere Hernandez, her palpable zeal and fervor for what she does were unmistakable. She’s not your everyday businesswoman. Her fondness for unearthing hidden gems led her into the captivating world of thrift fashion. For Tere, each clothing item whispers a tale, and she’s on a mission to amplify those narratives. Aware of the fast fashion’s environmental toll, she envisions her boutique as a step towards ecological mindfulness.

I take joy in wearing pieces that resonate with me and offer comfort. It’s not about being a trendsetter, but rather discovering gems that honor both our individuality and Mother Earth.

A Heartfelt Approach to Business

Bazar Segunda Vuelta is more than just a store—it’s a beacon of kindness and community. At its core is Tere’s consignment framework where clients can claim a sizable 40% from their sales. The beauty lies in the choice: retain the earnings, spend it in-store, or donate to various charitable pursuits ranging from cancer care, local dog shelters, or support for individuals with Down syndrome.

Don’t let your unused clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry gather dust. Instead, let them serve a noble cause at Bazar Segunda Vuelta. Tere’s door is always open for such generous donations, which she transforms into charitable gains. The real magic? You can direct the proceeds to a charity close to your heart.

This initiative does more than give pre-loved items a new home—it offers a way for the community to band together in benevolence, ensuring each item donated becomes a symbol of shared compassion.

Innovation and Aspirations

The store has seen notable improvements lately, such as the incorporation of a loyalty program and a state-of-the-art inventory and consignment tracking system. These changes facilitate transparent and efficient monitoring of stock on consignment and the continued support from her dedicated clientele. Looking ahead,

Tere is contemplating introducing a distinctive line of cozy Manta cotton dresses, ideal for Puerto Vallarta’s warmth. Collaborating with her sister, she aims to showcase these dresses at local markets. Moreover, Tere harbors dreams of expanding to open another larger location in the heart of downtown.

With our loyalty program and new system, I hope to bring clarity, transparancy and simplicity to the consignment process.

A Journey into Thrift Elegance

For thrift novices, a visit to Tere’s store promises enchantment. Its eclectic collection, blending day-to-day wear with distinct fashion statements, beckons treasure hunters.

A New Era for Consignment Shops

Our conversation also touched on the changing face of second-hand shops and the challenges some face. Tere’s enterprise sets itself apart by offering authentic, empowering experiences, allowing patrons to champion sustainable fashion while directing their charitable contributions.

Bazar Segunda Vuelta is not merely a place to shop—it’s a hub in Puerto Vallarta’s for eco-friendly fashion, individual narratives, and community spirit.

Drop by when in town; you may leave with more than just a purchase, but a piece of a profound narrative and a step towards a larger purpose.
