The first National Vintage Store Day is May 17, and Northern Virginia has plenty of vintage shops you should know about. Check out these boutiques — some focus on clothing, some on home goods, and some do both.
Current Boutique
Ever dreamed of owning a Gucci bag or strutting into your next party wearing a pair of Manolo Blahniks — except for those pesky price tags? Look no further than this boutique consignment shop selling pre-loved designer clothing and accessories for even the most discerning fashionistas. Here, you can sift through rack after rack to find your perfect look, whether it’s classic, trendy, vintage, boho, rebel, or sexy siren. 1009 King St., Alexandria; 2601 Wilson Blvd., Arlington
Evolution Home
For a vintage shopping experience that takes you through different eras and styles, check out Evolution Home. This large antiques mall has vendors from across the area, including colorful and eclectic finds from Anna Weaver Interiors, fabulously whimsical pieces from Capitol Vintage Charm, and midcentury finds from VintNova. You’ll also find an entire room of sofas and seating, so you can browse for base pieces for your home as well as gorgeous accessories. 861 S. Pickett St., Alexandria
Lowery’s Dial
Lowery’s Dial shares a darling corner storefront in Old Town with K. Aubrey Flowers, and the two have created a shop that feels like you’re stepping back into a beautifully nostalgic jewel box of a space. You’ll find vintage books, beautiful glassware and dishware, and a few well-designed modern items sprinkled in. This is exactly where you go when you have a spot that needs a finishing touch or you need to find the perfect gift. 1401 King St., Alexandria
Lucketts Store
Lucketts is known for three things: its year-round store that draws in antique enthusiasts from across the region no matter the season, the spring and fall markets that have a devoted fan base committed to lining up to shop early, and its annual Holiday House, which sells out in advance. This is where to go to spend an entire day exploring curated rooms full of antique finds at every price point. From farmhouse to moody, cottage-inspired looks, wandering through Lucketts is like seeing your favorite Instagram inspiration come to life. The spring vintage market is May 16 to 18 in Berryville. 42350 Lucketts Rd., Leesburg
Magpie Reclamations
Magpie Reclamations was founded to give furniture a second chance, and reduce waste by educating shoppers on the importance of buying sustainable home décor. Magpie sells upcycled, refurbished, and locally sourced furnishings, as well as art and home décor. You’ll find an array of treasures, including Scandinavian teak furniture, ornate vases, and midcentury sculptures. 202 E. Custis Ave., Alexandria
Mode on Main by Mara
Find eclectic and timeless pieces at this shop in Old Town Fairfax, which also offers some “pre-loved” and select new items. The store prides itself on styling pieces for real life — and offering go-to clothing that will last. 10417 Main St., Fairfax
Muz & Rose
Elyse Smith, a graduate of Herndon High School who went to The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, named her Leesburg shop after her two grandmothers. Through a collective of vintage sellers, you can find items including clothing, accessories, and vinyl records, candles, room sprays, puzzles, and prints by local artists. 3 Loudoun St. SW, Leesburg
