This long-standing store is best-known for trafficking in party dresses, which makes it one of the first places to go if you need a special-occasion, one-of-a-kind gown.
This brand new endeavor on the outer edge of the Lower East Side is home to Bonnie Cashin--designed Coach bags and Courrèges shifts, along with a house collection of '60s-inspired silhouettes.
This sliver of a spot is particularly well-loved for sticking to current trends: it's all vintage inside, but nothing ever feels dated.
Styled after a Parisian boudoir, this over-the-top spot--complete with persian rugs and leopard-print ottomans--offers an exuberant selection of Christian Dior slips and sequined bed jackets.
Helmed by stylist Malin Landaeus, the color-coded racks are loaded with pristine picks from the '50s through the '80s.
The emphasis here is on vintage footwear and handbags--'70s boots, perfectly ladylike '60s heels--though there are also multiple racks of similarly downtown-inflected blouses and dresses.
This highly curated shop has a vintage jewelry selection of unusual finds, like art nouveau lockets and Victorian engagement rings.
This store makes shopping a lot easier for those of us who are retro-clueless. It has cleverly arranged all its wares by style--say, velvet or paint-splattered.
Has stellar looks from the '50s, '60s and '70s: full-skirted party frocks, Mad Men-style sheaths and bohemian maxi dresses.
Has the city's best collection of minidresses and bags, plus the offbeat scene-stealer, all at amazing prices.
