The Best Etsy Vintage Shops

by Michelle on August 4, 2010 · 6 comments

Last week we covered the best vintage stores on Ebay, and today we’ve decided to pay homage to vintage stores on Etsy: another collection of unique treasures.   Although Etsy is famous for selling  handmade things, some of its best hidden secrets are the top-notch vintage stores.

With all the pros of shopping vintage – from going green to originality, combined with wallet-friendly prices and artistic presentations, vintage loving fashionistas should bookmark these fabulous stores for frequent visits…

1. Greatest Friend Vintage
Carrying easy bohemian-inspired pieces and accessories, Greatest Friend Vintage is the perfect place to find understated yet elegant clothing with muted color palettes and flowy silhouettes.

This 1950 floral cotton a-line dress in olive and brown shades is selling for just$38.

2.Pretty Little World Vintage

With pieces that show like art, Pretty Little World Vintage carries sophisticated clothing from all decades.  Whether you are looking for one-of-a-kind dress, a time piece for a Great Gatsby party, or a dramatically feminine gown that “they just don’t make them like they used to anymore”, this shop is your one-stop shop to return to elegance.

This extensively tailored vintage 1950s Primrose Red Floral Party Dress is $148

3. Dear Golden Vintage
With simply beautiful clothing and an array of feminine styles, Dear Golden Vintage is ideal for floral prints, lace, swing skirts and so much more. Their 50′s and 60′s selection is impressive.

This 1960s Light Step Shift Dress ($54) is the perfect dress to wear to a garden party or a walk on the town, woven basket in tow.

4.LOOKs Vintage Fashion
With plentiful selection of Jackie-O inspired shades, an abundance of patterned silk scarves, and playful poppy prints, LOOKs carries a colorful selection of vintage pieces ranging from clothing to shoes to accessories and more.  If Jackie-O shopped on Etsy, we are certain that LOOKs would be her first stop.

5.Santoki Vintage
With a knack for making the old look new, and a gravitation toward youthful, floral pieces, Santoki Vintage is your one-stop-shop for clothing, shoes, bags and more.

Match this Striped Two Front Pockets Button Up Oxford Shirt($38) with the trendy oxford shoes and in addition to being unique you can use your outfit and joke about “something old and something new”.

6. Early Kooka
Selling primarily jewelery, Early Kooka has eye-catching and intricate pieces that would compliment any outfit whether it is modern or vintage. These Matching Cuff Bracelet and Earrings in Gold and Turquoise are $49.95

7. Thirteen Bees Vintage
Those seeking the perfect dress whether it is from 40s or 80s, are sure to  find it at Thirteen Bees Vintage. The shop showcases a broad range of vintage with pieces grouped by decade.

This “No Minor Vices” embroidered dress with Pearl buttons is not cheap at $158, but the intricate details justify the high price tag.

8. Second Wind Vintage
For less expensive pieces that have a strong retro feel, look no further than Second Wind Vintage. Bold and colorful these vibrant pieces will rejuvenate your look and add a dash of unexpected glamor to your style.

This Come Fly With Me Vintage 1960s Dress is only $26.

9. Bee Keeper Vintage
As stated on the site, Bee Keeper Vintage features “the sweeter side of vintage” selling perfectly lady-like shoes and clothing.

These “Vintage Boardwalk” detailed heels in teal($32) are indeed sweet.  They also remind us of the future, think Marc by Marc Jacobs signature pumps.
