Pilgrim New York

Excellent selection, terrific service. Will definitely be coming back.

The knowledgeable guys who own this boutique are well known as having incredible taste. I love the ever changing look of the store, the inventory constantly being re-​invented. I travel all the time for work, and whether I“m in San Francisco, Los Angeles or Paris I always love coming here as I know I will find something I can’t get anywhere else. They are known for the best Vintage Japanese designer clothing as well as the incredible vintage Chanel, but there is so much more here, the jewelry, bags, the accessories, the clothes. Really great tips as well and they give great advice. It’s a very personal store and they always help me when I need something for an event or party and it’s always spot on!
Thanks Brian for the great customer service.

I learned about this place using Unilocal reviews, so I have to give back to the universe.
Extremely pleased with my purchase — a vintage Chanel bag. I scoured NYC looking at both used and new bags and this was the one that I could by with ZERO reservations. Why?
1) There are a ton of vintage dealers in NYC, with prices in a rather wide range. However, only at Pilgrim did I find a pristine purse for a very fair price.
2) The new Chanel bags just aren’t the same quality as the vintage — down to the gold hardware and quality of the lambskin. I never thought I’d buy a vintage but when you see something as beautiful as the ones at Pilgrim, you’ll quickly change your mindset.
Pilgrim is a keeper.

This is not your regular consignment stores or second hand shops. Do not walk in and expect to walk away with a Chanel handbag at $ 500 because this thought is simply unrealistic Lol The Pilgrim New York sell a curated version of high end designer goods. They are mostly vintage and in unbelievably pristine condition. If you have the cash and a love for vintage designer goods, this is heaven for you!

Ok, I have recovered from my «not being able to shop» disappointment and change my star rating…
Nothing takes away from the quality of their merchandise! Also the owner wrote to extend apology (I guess the are closed every thanksgiving and day after) and extended a 50.00 gift certificate! So I will visit next time And kudos to your customer service!

BUYER BEWARE! SERIOUSLY! And this is NOT a «fake review» as the owner appears to call all of the other negative reviews here. Here is my story:
I expressed interest in a bag. Asked for a discount since it was a little bit dirty. Was told they could take $ 25 off, and when I said I need to think about it but will probably be back in an hour, the owner, BRIAN, said sure, but they won’t hold it. Ok, fine. I went back in an hour, decided to take the bag, and suddenly, when he was writing up the bill, the new price was $ 20 more. I thought something seemed fishy about that, but I went with it, thinking my own memory deceived me. After I left with the bag, I started feeling as if I was duped. I called the store – very calmly – to let them know how I felt. BRIAN swore that was not the case, so I said, ok, fine, I just wanted you to be aware of my concern. The guy calls me right back to tell me to come back to the store to «look at the price tag.» I said no, I am not going back to your store to look at the price tag – I know what I saw! Besides, the price tags are handwritten and could be easily replicated in a second! He started yelling at me then hung up. 20 minutes later, I get a text from this guy with a picture of the price tag, which, mind you, was NOT THE ORIGINAL PRICE TAG!!! I am an extremely observant person with an excellent memory, if I may, and will say with 100% certainty that was a picture of A DIFFERENT PRICE TAG!!! So, I texted him back to tell him that. And WOULD YOU BELIEVE, this guy immediately called me SCREAMING AT ME and talking over me and refusing to let me speak and telling me nothing will make me happy and on and on and on and on. It was absolutely disgusting, not to mention unprofessional and obviously unnecessary. I was shocked, to say the least. He also had the audacity to tell me he will have his attorney contact me and will sue me if I dare write a negative review of his dishonest store and disgusting behavior. Well, go for it, buddy! I dare you! I also dare you to respond to this with an accusation that Unilocal is purposely pushing forward negative reviews and filtering out positive ones. Puh-​lease.

That day when I meet my fren in LES n I walk by this store they have a very nice window display with a lot tat CHANEL hand bag collection so I walk in n take a look!!! Wow … The service was so so friendly n everything’s here is so exclusive with good price … So pls check this store out when u in this area LES (Orchard st n Grand st) U won’t get disappoint with it !!!

You will find the best Chanel vintage condition bags, great Chanel jewelry and tons of other good designer things to oogle over. Love this store. It’s so very chic. I’ve been a regular for probably 4 years as I always find something for myself or a great gift. Don’t be afraid to ask for assistance, they are very knowledgeable with fashion here.

This is the most pretentious place I have ever stepped foot in. I’m glad other customers have felt the same way. The sales associate gave me so much attitude I couldn’t comfortably browse or pick up any items for sale with out feeling like I was disrupting him. It’s almost like I disgusted him and was not welcome.
I would never spend a dime here, ever.
Hopefully the store can hire sweet people to work there in the future, but I will never be going back.
Also I notice how «B.B.» keeps on writing at the end of each negative review that they are scams and I find that extremely hard to believe. This is not a «fake review»

When to this shop a few day ago, it was a nice and cute store. The owner was very friendly and know the product very well .
Everything in the store is one of a kind .i will come back for more thank you

Every time I shop here it’s like a treasure chest of gold. I always leave wanting more — there is so much great clothes jewelry and accessories! It’s almost too much for me to handle :)

Awful shop, awful owner! If ever there was bad service, this place was it! I was relieved to see similar reviews about this place from other Unilocal reviewers.
I had been browsing in the store for vintage Chanel bags and was walking out when a seemingly lovely Chanel bag in the window caught my eye. I went back in to take a look and the sale associate (super lovely man) came to show it to me. I had left the door open for less than a minute at this point before the presumably owner came out yelling loudly that the door had to be closed and that ‘air conditioning cost money’. I returned the bag and said ‘it was just a minute’ and he had the audacity to yell out ‘F*%^ YOU’ to me in front of four other clients in the store — which was super unprofessional — to which I replied ‘right back at you’ and walked out. With an attitude like that, he probably has lost a ton of customers and probably not generating income so it makes sense that he would be concerned about the 50 cents it cost to leave the door open, even for a minute (meanwhile the gallery a few doors down had a wide open door).
For better vintage Chanel and other luxury brand handbags in my opinion, go to a store inside the Manhattan Antique center on 57^th. Save your money and get better service!

I have been the hero many times over due to the top of the line selections offered by this shop. My wife, sister and mother are always impressed with the Hermes, Chanel, and Celine handbags. My mom loves the jewelry! Because most of the inventory has never been used, the quality and condition is incredible. I have never had any issues with the owners, who are always friendly, helpful, and educated about their merchandise. I guess you get what you give, and I try to be friendly to all, and not act like I’m self entitled or deserving. I am curious though, as to why anybody would think it’s okay to look at, of all high priced things, a Chanel bag with the front door open? I have been a customer for years, and will be for many more! It’s really a treasure.

sales associate was incredibly rude. asked about prices of Chanel bags and he replied as though I was inconveniencing him by asking a question. won’t be stopping by here again.

I was SO excited to come here and spend $ 2−3K+ on a new Chanel based on the reviews I read. However, I found the gentleman working there so rude condescending that I felt horribly uncomfortable and had to leave. He made judgements and comments about how women carry their bags these days, how they are «built differently» and said they should be carrying cheap totes in addition to their Chanels. Some of us don’t want to schlep 2 bags around all day and don’t find it comfortable or practical, and yes, some of us are «built differently». However, no matter how we are built, some of us work hard enough to treat ourselves to splurges every once in a while. You’ve lost a customer and gained a negative review and left a very poor taste in my mouth.

Beautiful collection of designer and vintage pieces. It really is a treasure trove of finds and I highly recommend a stop here on your next shopping trip. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and well versed in the history and features of his merchandise. I have been impressed with his kindness, attention to detail and generosity; his willingness to take time to really, if honest, educate me on the origins of the items that I’ve expressed an interest in. You don’t find that kind of customer service in many places in the city! I only wish I could get back to NYC more often to see what he brings in next!

If you’re shopping in New York and looking for the best of vintage fashion and accessories then there’s only one place to shop and that’s Pilgrim 70 Orchard Street.
Brilliantly curated with the best of vintage pieces you are destined to find what you’re looking for and then some.

I was in NY visiting friends and had heard of this store on Facebook and decided to go check it out. It’s fabulous! It’s not a huge store, but they do have a lot of beautiful items there. They have a lot of Chanel stuff, which is amazing. I mean, it’s Chanel, what’s not to love? I didn’t have any issues with staff, in fact, I was very pleased with the way I was treated. The guy that was there was very polite and helped me out with finding what I wanted. I ended up buying this gorgeous Chanel purse that, I’ll admit, cost me a whole lot more than what I can afford, but I’m a girl. I need a treat every now and then. Great experience overall and if I’m ever in NY again, I’ll be checking them out once more.

LOVE this amazing collection of vintage chic! Upon my entering the store I was amazed at all the good things packed into one little shop! As a stylist I am hard to impress as I see so much all the time. But the last time I saw such great things like the Chanel Collections Acquired… was in Paris. Or an unnamed celebrity’s closet! Just a fantastic MUST DO STOP while in Manhattan. I worked the vintage shows in NYC for years where dealers would go to shop and This collection is among the world class places to shop for vintage. And I found the owner totally terrific, helpful, educated on his goods… and charming. And after being a window dresser in some of the best stores, BG, Barney’s. Escada. Saks… I know when someone helping me – knows his stuff. Run don’t walk to this GEM.

I love vintage clothing and this place has a lot of good finds at a reasonable price.
Hmmm, reasonable… well reasonable for NYC!
You can find everything here even soy based candles to minimize soot emissions to create a healthier environment for everyone.
The store is also neatly organized unlike some vintage stores.
