AMT Vintage Showroom NOW OPEN by Appointment!


Last Friday saw the soft opening of our long-time-in-the-making Vintage Showroom! We are thrilled with the early response, and happy to announce we are now making appointments there so you can view our higher-end vintage collection Mon-Fri. We will also be working on an online catalog in the coming weeks and moths for those of you unable to visit the space in person!

Ladies can expect to find those sought-after vintage designer gems from the likes of Chanel, Comme Des Garcons, YSL, Lanvin, Valentino, along with equally desirable boutique and couture gowns, dresses, separates & accessories! We also have a healthy selection of fragile early treasures from the late 1800's through the 1930's, some great 1920's-60's swimwear, not to mention Deadstock eyeglass frames & Sunglasses from the 50's & 60's.

Our smaller Mens collection is filled with special pieces none the less, and focuses on one-of-a-kind satin jackets, early formal wear, rock tees, antique & vintage military/band jackets, sports & knitwear, and other oddities like engineer goggles & glasses, vintage Ray-bans etc. We will be adding to the collections frequently, striving to keep everything as fresh as the store on Grove Street!

AMT Jewel Tone Themed Holiday Window 2011

Sometimes we pick stuff up and hold onto it until the right occasion arises, and our new Holiday Window is the perfect example. We bought this amazing vintage pink and gold sequin fabric at a sale a few years back and have been storing it ever since. Last fall we picked up a fabulous 1940's showgirl peacock costume (complete with real peacock feathers!) whilst on a buying trip in the UK. Add some vintage ornaments, a 1950's jewel-toned ribbon cocktail dress, and strapless emerald green sequin gown that just happened to be lying around the shop, and we have the recipe for one of our favorite windows yet! Enjoy...


Check back for our VINTAGE HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS over the coming weeks....
