Well, I have only bought and browsed through the women's sections in these places but one place is Unique Thrift on Lorain on the west side. It is kind of like a Salvation Army I guess, but I found 3 great vintage dresses there and there were many many more!

Another place that has both men's and women's vintage is Second Glance Thrift store. It is actually connected with a non profit agency in town and has lots of good stuff! The manager keeps the store at Lee Road in Cleveland Heights a lot nicer and more organized..I got a cute (in my opinion at least!) Albert Nipon vintage dress. They get great shoes as well..there were some vintage Christian Dior shoes (which didn't fit me) Cole Haan (which DID fit me!)and others

The Second Glance on E 55th isn't as nice or organized, but I did get some cute vintage flats that have sequin poodles on them.....

The only other place I can think of at the moment is a little shop in Little Italy on Mayfield. I have only been in there a couple times because I don't think the owner keeps real specific hours she is open. I think the store is her hobby or something. I'll post more if I think of others!

Hello neighbor! I'm in beachwood, so this is really helpful. I'll definatly check these places out when I get a chance.

latest find - a reversible poly empire sundress

and the bag in the right hand pix is also a latest dine. a very folksy, quilted cloth bag with plastic handles

cotton day dress with buttons on the shoulder and side. guessing its circa 1950s

[scandinavianchic]

Well, my best source for vintage-shopping is ebay, it's the biggest vintage store in the world! All you need is patience

i made some real vintage scores. bought tons of stuff from this similar store as ebay, only in finnish

boots for 17 €

dress for 16 €

and bag for 16 €

love them all

Are vintage stores in Camden expesive?

 

[voodoo_mary]

well, ebay is THE largest source for vintage stuff, but tho cheap and plentiful, u can still end up spending alot of money of stuff thats broke, stained, spoilt, has holes, etc.
like this bag for example. looks perfect in the auction photos. but when i received it, it had a tear at the base; a kind of tear thats unfixable....
still love the bag! its made of leather and is made in mexico:

this is a tiny tiny junior sized, gingham shift dress and i'm carrying a leather, handmade etienne aigner from the late 60s

this is a striped rust colored dress and i'm carrying a 1980s bottega from ebay!
