vintage store

Secondhand clothing boutique

A vintage store sells older clothing, furniture, or collectibles—typically items at least twenty years old that have come back into style or hold nostalgic appeal.

Unlike thrift stores, vintage stores curate their inventory and price items based on era, condition, and desirability: I found a perfect 1970s leather jacket at a vintage store downtown.

The line between vintage store and antique shop is fuzzy, with vintage generally suggesting 20th-century goods rather than true antiques.
