has anyone ever BEEN to Vintage Swank??

[The Vintage Merchant]

we've never been (yet), they are in Virgina.

and they are NOT cheap, but omg!!! what a dreamy vintage shopping experience that would be!

want to do a road trip now...

Wow, they do have a lot of great clothing. But I was frustrated at the lack of additional photos beyond one full frontal view of their garments. No closeups of textures or details, no side or back view, no shots of interior construction or lining, rarely a mention of the nature of the fabric. I would think if a shopper wanted to invest a lot of money in a vintage garment that she'd want more than a single frontal full view and a cursory verbal description.

But they've got a lot of great merchandise, that's for sure!

exactly! which is why it would be more fun to GO and check them out since they seem to have rooms full (6,000 sq feet) of goods!!!

we were actually researching chairs when we ran across them (again) this morning; their home goods look particularly interesting, rather than their clothing, honestly

are you within reasonable driving distance? If so, why not an afternoon outing?

i'm in Iowa, but we spend quite a bit on time in NC now since DBF's kids are both there. think a side-trip to VA would be a blast one of these times...

That does look a fun store! (Definitely go for that sidetrip, Mary... )

I want this women's tie (and how neat that the manufacturer specialized in neckwear for ladies!):
