Editorial Review for Decades Vintage Clothing – by Michelle Merrill
The Scene
Occupying the space (and spirit) of the former Garp's Mercantile in an old brick building in the heart of downtown, Decades is brimming with vintage clothing and artifacts. Unlike department stores, there are no carefully arranged displays and merchandise isn't presented in any particular order. You never know where you might encounter a turquoise blue purse or a fuzzy cow-print skirt.
The Goods
Vintage clothing, shoes and accessories cram the store. Decades also has one of the largest selections of antique hatboxes, hats and suitcases in the city. Oddities like a bowling ball-shaped hatbox or chunky costume jewelry can be found on any given day. Prices vary, but chances are that each visit will yield some sort of purchase.

lots and lots of great vintage finds, although i see these guys scoring the local thirft stores and jacking up the prices, good for them. The location is great, pretty easy to park. Some good finds but the clothing items I have found, have never been in very good condition but hey its " vintage" not good vintage quality I guess. Got a dress there for a holiday party, paid twenty bucks, looked great in the fitting room, then zipper just crumbed when I got it home , right before the party... bummer. I have been going in here for years but seldom do these days just because of the horrible vibes that places radiates. mainly from the owner, who is un friendly and uber snobbish. For gods sake my man have a little integrity and be nice to your patrons. He really is so cold......Not nice at all......Won't go back for that one reason. Did i mention i also feel like a fugitve going in there? I have been watched like a hawk, what a terrible shopping experince. And I tell all my friends that too, seems to be a pattern. Sorry.
Pros: great vintage finds
Cons: Rude Owner, Bad Vibes
