A one stop shop for vintage looks & costumes
As you head south on 1st Street on your way to Walker’s Point Antique Center and Dime a Dance, you might spy another vintage clothing store just a couple blocks north: Purple Velvet Vintage.
It's a small but curated collection of vintage ensembles and accessories, catering to the ladies. It will most likely take you all of 10 minutes (if that) to thumb through the few garment racks, but less is more at Purple Velvet. I saw lots of fun things I would have jumped on had I been a size 00. Isn’t that just the way it goes?
The added bonus of Purple Velvet Vintage is that it’s attached to a costume rental shop called Miller and Campbell (MAC) Costume Service. There were costumes for everyone from C-3PO (with an actual awesome full-head mask!) to courtly renaissance ladies in all their finery. While I wasn’t in the market to spend $50 to $100+ on a costume, it’s nice to know the option’s there in a pinch.
