Vintage Connection

This little boutique is definitely the place to go for all your upscale vintage needs. It can be a bit pricy but there are lots of beautiful things for sale and it’s always worth a look. Everything is put together with care and attention to detail. You’ll definitely find some stunning and unique pieces there. The owner is personable and helpful.

I finally had a chance to stop in this cute boutique today and found the shop really charming and a jewel if I were seriously into vintage shopping.
You can tell the owner must take her time selecting the merchandise since the store wasn’t over packed with items that you would have to sort through to find the good stuff. It’s already been done for you. They have some really cute spring styles in now too.

It’s okay for vintage, moderate prices, but I didn’t find it was for me. But awesome accesories! And a cute puppy greets you.

This vintage store is so refreshing to find in this city. It has QUALITY pieces that are worth the money she is asking for. She isn’t pulling junk from thrift stores here, this is great vintage that someone obviously took time and effort to choose and place into their store. Each piece is unique and amazing in its own way whether it fits or not. I wish I could have it all. Sigh.

First of all, this adorable vintage boutique has amazing light. Sun streams through the front windows. But no need to worry about fading colors, as outfits are swiftly sent home with new owners and constantly replaced with other finds. The space is small, but as long as there isn’t an event going on there is plenty of room to browse the rack-​lined room. I’m a pretty typical vintage shopper — I’ll go in and try on everything new that catches my eye. I usually find at least one or two things to purchase every time. Honestly, anyone who doesn’t try on vintage clothing obviously doesn’t buy very much of it. Put it this way: You HAVE to. Sizes are completely different than they used to be. Don’t go into a vintage store and complain that nothing is labeled. If you want labels, go to the mall. If you want unique dresses and tops check out Vintage Connection. Yes, it’s slightly pricey (*for Philly Vintage. Try LA and then we’ll quibble over price tags), but you’re guaranteed a selection of quality pieces. The only really expensive pieces in this store are some handmade art jewelry pieces. Score 20%-50% off by checking the website or myspace for sale offers.

My favorite vintage store in the city! This boutique boasts unique finds at reasonable prices. Sure, you could find something cheaper on your own, but this store knocks out hours and hours of searching for creative and unique pieces.
I love to wear vintage pieces that are special, but not over the top. At Vintage Connection, I can find that middle ground, and still search through some really funky clothing. An added bonus to enjoying this store is the weekly updates on their website. The only downside… You do have to try on all prospective buys because you cannot return items, and sizing is always up-​in-​the-​air with the older clothing.

there are some incredible finds in this place, from 20s-​era jewelry to 80s sundresses. they’re all on the pricey side, but sometimes it’s worth it for a treasure. the tock is consistently replenished weekly — sign up for their mailing list to get the first crack at incoming goodies. their shows make me wish i had normal girl-​sized feet, but alas.
the place has a laid back feel, which is nice. the ladies running it seem more like friends than clerks, for sure, and they aren’t averse to rummaging through jersey attics — likely on mondays and tuesdays, when the shop is closed up – to get their customers neat new things they want. you could make some incredibly classic or ridiculously outlandish outfits from the selection — like the puffed sleeve black blouse i bought for $ 30 or the striped shorts belted jumpsuit that gave my very skinny friend camel toe. (note: she didn’t buy it.)
