In 1974, Kerstin and Spencer Block opened the first Buffalo Exchange consignment boutique in Tucson, Arizona. Kerstin, hailing from Sweden, thought the word “Buffalo” sounded very American, and since they were introducing the idea of a fashionable clothing “Exchange,” the name was born. In the 45 years since, that 450 square foot store near the University of Arizona has blossomed into 50 stores in 19 states. Buffalo Exchange continues to be run by Kerstin and her daughter Rebecca, and is still headquartered in Tucson.
