Description

Tucked away just off King George Street, among small housewares shops, this is an unlikely place to find such a funky vintage store. Keep your eyes peeled for the mannequin with the football helmet, aviator goggles and roller skates, or a similar ensemble. There is a clothes room, and a non-clothes room, with a dizzying collection of small furniture, lamps, posters, telephones, and any other kitschy item that might spark a feeling of nostalgia in a 20 to 30-something-year-old.

The clothes room is for those with a taste for retro-flamboyant styles: Puffy nylon vests, shiny warm-up suits with racing stripes, and, of course, hip-hugging bell-bottoms. Prices, as is the tendency with hip vintage stores, tend to be high.
