Melrose Vintage

Cute vintage shop I meandered into on my way to dinner with friends. They had great deals on leather jackets and coats. I loved the amount of highly quality sweaters they had (most ranging from € 30-​€ 40). I ended up purchasing a tan Lacoste cardigan for € 40 in inclination of staying warm during the winter time (but I suppose that was my way of justifying purchasing it). I liked that their goods were not only affordable, but the fact that the workers have a more hands-​off approach (I’ve found that most vintage shop owners love to hover– thus only resulting in discomfort and a premature departure). Also loved that they played the Supremes while I shopped– it truly complemented the atmosphere nicely. If you’re looking for a quirky cardigan or something warm for the winter I’d highly recommend this location. As for other objects of desire, they don’t really cater to much beyond articles of clothing (unique shirts/​jackets/​pants), so if you’re looking for a purse or typewriter I’d go elsewhere.

Very cool setup — TONS of cowboy boots, Combat boots, leather jackets for me, American 70’s — 80’s vintage clothing, and lots for men. Found women’s selection VERY limited, unfortunately. Also, prices (typical for Italy, as I now understand it) were quite high, i.e., NOTHING under 40 Euros, including the cheapest-​looking $ 2 unlined, polyester shift dress from the 1980’s. For the money, much better options to purchase at the other ‘couture’-type vintage shops. But fun to look around.

I bought a great pair of leather Chucks that were in amazing condition. The price was amazing and if you have the time to search, there are some amazing finds at Melrose.

Cool vintage shop! Ideal shop for vintage hunters. They had a lot of cool vintage cycling jerseys in here, that is if your into the Fixi culture. However, I could not imagine me buying something used in here, because there are too many dam amazing leather bag shops that I would rather spend all of my money on in Italy.

I got a purse and my friend got a cute suede jacket for a great deal! Great vintage store and loved the set up.
