Vintage Shopping in Atlanta

Going shopping for vintage treasures? Atlanta is made up of many eclectic intown neighborhoods where residents take pride in expressing their unique style. One way to do this is through vintage clothing and Atlanta has no shortage of shops to scour for unique duds. Many of these shops are in the popular Little Five Points district (while you're in the neighborhood, check out some of the yummy restaurants), but there are a few others scattered around town, too. These vintage shops tend to be a bit pricier than what you'd find at the local Salvation Army outpost, but the funky finds and selective stock mean you'll walk away with something truly unique.

Stefan's - Closed

Note: Stefan's is now closed, but a new vintage shop called Ambrose Vintage opened August 2012 in the same location. The owner will keep much of Stefan's feel, but also bring some new flavor to the shop.

Stefan's is one of Atlanta's most high-quality vintage shops. This store is small but carries lovely outfits from all eras. They have both men's and women's clothing and also carry a wide variety of accessories, including hats and shoes. Stefan's has a large selection of unique vintage aprons, something that won't be found elsewhere. The oldest vintage store in Atlanta,Stefan's enjoys a great reputation and sometimes carries a higher price point, but don't worry, you get what you pay for here.
