Miami's status as one of the world's fashion capitals is undeniable. The Magic City's true magic power, it seems, is to pluck designers, stylists, and entrepreneurs out of obscurity and turn them into household names. Among the most remarkable of the city's fashion success stories has come in the form of the plethora of vintage stores making their mark in Miami. If you're in the market for the city's best vintage fashions, here's where to find them:
Second Time Around | 5770 Sunset Drive
Few stores offer their patrons access to everything from fine art to designer fashion, but Second Time Around manages to create a curated experience from a diverse group of goods. Whether you're in the market for a Victorian fainting couch or vintage Chanel Mini Flap handbag, you'll find it here.
Consign of the Times | 6931 Red Road
While it's often to feel confident about the authenticity of designer goods you find in your average consignment shop, the experts at Consign of the Times guarantee that their products are 100 percent genuine. Instead of wasting time looking for serial numbers and proper stitching, you can spend more time poring over racks of vintage Fendi, Gucci, and Prada.
Back in Style | 2209 SW 10th Street
Not every vintage buyer wants to purchase a wardrobe centered around designer brands, and at Back in Style, they don't have to. Back in Style's inventory ranges from designer clothes and accessories from companies like Chanel and Bottega Veneta to '60s to '70s Pucci prints and vintage furs.
Fly Boutique | 7235 Biscayne Boulevard
If your grandmother's closet and a "Mad Men" set somehow joined forces, they would become Fly Boutique. This eclectic boutique offers a wide variety of housewares, from paintings to light fixtures, in addition to a diverse selection of vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories.
Twice Consignment Shop | 4040 Red Road
Finding tasteful vintage clothing without sorting through racks of Hawaiian shirts and ironic tees can often feel like an impossible task. Fortunately, at Twice, you won't find any gimmicky get-ups, just vintage fashions you'd be proud to wear to the office or out on a date.
Old is new again throughout Miami. The best clothes in the city aren't just at designer boutiques — shop Miami's vintage stores for elegant, eco-friendly fashion that can add the perfect finishing touch to any wardrobe.
