Wabi-Sabi Thrift Store in Utah Offers Moab Bargains and Helps Children and the Navajo Nation

Wabi-Sabi is an amazing thriftstore that goes way beyond the normal concept of t thrift store. This is not just a place to drop off old stuff or pick up the occasional bargain; it’s a whole world of help

With programs that truly reach out into the community, you can really feel good about walking into Thriftique or The Warehouse, instead of just hoping to pick up the occasional  “steal” or find that really funky shirt. WabiSabi is a based nonprofit organization that exists to support the health and wealth of the Native community, Hispanic community, low-income people, individuals, and our nonprofit partners.

But you will indeed fine the “steal.” How about an Orvis fishing vest with brass fittings and 17 pockets! The kind my husband has been searching for forever. It was clean, not stained, not smelly, not ripped- but it was used, which added to it’s perfection-no one wants a spanking brand new fishing vest that might make him look like- gasp – a novice fisherman. And the price? $4. This vest is over $100 new. We found this at Thriftique, their little bitty store right off

Main Street on  400 East. Oh, and when they rang us up, they took a few dollars off the total!

Beyond the vest, the men’s department had some of the coolest t-shirts, long and short sleeved, that you could wish for while digging. Lots from the 70’s, and lots of very unique sports related shirts, particularly, of course, biking and hiking (hey, it is in Moab), but from everywhere- like fat and skinny tire guys just come by and donate their shirts. 

At Halloween, there was a fun selection of the bizarre; clothes with feathers, sparkles, uniform jackets, handmade oddities, and tons of accessories and hats.

In the women’s department, the stuff wasn’t as cool, but for that it may have just been the day. Otherwise, head to The Warehouse, Wabi-Sabi’s huge thrift store, 145 West 200 South, on the other side of
