The Honeypot

Before I state why The Honeypot only deserves 3 stars, I’ll start by saying a few things that I really like about this tiny shop. The Honeypot has a really cool collection of antique, used, and unique apparel and accessories and they really capture the personality of Asheville and put it into a neat store. However, this store is extremely overpriced. Many of these items you could find on a visit to your local Goodwill for a quarter of the price. While they do offer some really nifty and original items, the price that you will pay for them is too high in my book.

As a member of the crude gender, I would have to rank Honeypot as the number 1 vintage spot in town. A vintage store with nearly as large of a selection of mens as there is ladies is a rare find and these folks pull it off with class. Great western style shirts, more cowboy boots than a Dallas rodeo, and an ever rotating selection of rad accessories make this the place to be. Modestly priced and always in great vintage condition, I can routinely put together a head to toe ready to wear outfit. The ladies behind the counter are friendly and kindly treat customers with a sense of casual attention. The lack of pushiness and too hip to be friendly attitudes are much appreciated. All in all, 5 outta 5!

Honeypot is a pretty sweet vintage shop on Lexington Ave. in downtown Asheville. It’s been here forever and is always a fun place to hit up while wandering around downtown. One of my more fond and certainly most weird Asheville memories is the time that a homeless guy wearing a skirt and tripping on acid followed me in here and asked if he could help me pick out clothes. You can’t make that sh*t up.
Even without a crackhead spirit guide/​personal shopper, Honeypot is a trip. It’s definitely vintage. When you’re unhip like me, a lot of the stuff in here screams «theme party» to you. However, I’ve also found several true vintage gems in here over the years. I’ve scored 1970s Lilly Pulitzer and Diane von Furstenberg dresses in excellent used condition at very reasonable prices for what they are. I got my favorite dress of all time here. It’s a 1960s floor length floral polyester with glitter halter dress that is everything. I’ve worn it to every outdoor concert or festival I’ve been to for the past decade and it’s always a hit.
You can’t go here on a specific shopping mission, but you’re always guaranteed to have fun and maybe find a fab purchase at Honeypot. Happy hippie shopping!

Vintage clothing store Plus awesome housewares and hip employees Plus an awesome female owner equals amazing!!! Locals shop here all the time and if you are visiting Asheville you should really drop in and buy some amazing threads. If you were smart you will make this your one stop shop of fashion. Lots of costumes and locally made clothing. Check out the feather wings they are pretty awesome. whenever I have the extra cash I am there in a flash.

Everything that you never knew you needed, all in one place. The neighborhood is eclectic and this place is on the seedier side. But what fun is sticking with the normal people who eat and shower on a daily basis! I am a big boy that has obviously has been well fed his whole life. So there was nothing that was going to fit me unless they could stretch that Frank Sinatra era hat I was trying to make fit!

This is a delightful store featuring vintage and repurposed clothing. I found a black top with a belt and black and white polka dot peplum. Also, a purple satin witch hat with a black veil for ten dollars in the sale bin! It is a nice place to browse at leisure and features a range of price points.

Stopped in this store and had a sweet shopping experience. Great vintage, AMAZING one-​of-​kind artisan pcs. something for everyone! Spend way more then I should of!

Cool! This another favorite Vintage shop in Asheville! Nice looking Shop — Friendly, no-​pressure staff! I’ll visit this place very time I’m in town!

I loooove this store. I get all my gear here. If you want totaly rad stuff this is the place. Eric –Fayetteville, NC

Whilst wandering about Asheville, I found the Honeypot. Super rad vintage clothes and accessories.
I’m not one for lotsa things so I didn’t pick anything up while I was there but I did notice the hosiery that made me think of derby. Stripes and bright colored tights oh my! There were also a lot of tutus in the display window (which originally drew me in).
I’ll probably pop back in here next time I’m in town. Thanks for the 30 minutes of amusement.

This was my favourite store I walked in while visiting Asheville recently.
I found the coolest pair of earrings by some local artist as soon as I walked in. The displays throughout the store are bright and fun, and everywhere I looked I found something offbeat that I wanted for myself or someone I know — whether it was vintage or local-​made.
The girl who was working was awesome and super friendly (also very excited that I was buying the rat teeth/​jawbone earrings — haha), and I noticed she was happy to help everyone who walked in the store.
If I lived in Asheville, I would definitely drop most of my money at the Honeypot.

I love this store! they have new and exciting things every time i visit asheville! I belive the owner has a mens boutique as well!

I’m always pretty stoked to walk into this store but usually walk around once and don’t find much of anything. Most of the vintage and reconstructed stuff that they sell is too silly and out there to actually be wearable, and the things they sell made by independent designers, although really cool, is usually too expensive for me to be that interested.

Neat vintage store, but like the rest of them, an overpriced thrift store. I usually look around briefly then grab a seat whilst the lady peruses the racks; she’s taken a liking to the handmade necktie-​strap handbags that are sold here.
