5th Ave Transforming Into Vintage Row

An awning has gone up on the old Celine clothing store space on 5th Avenue between Sackett and Degraw saying a vintage shop named Yona Lee is going to fill the storefront. Per a reader, the vintage store will be the fourth such business on this stretch of 5th Avenue: “This strip is becoming quite the vintage row…Beacon’s Closet up on Warren and 5th, Odd Twin on Lincoln and 5th…Monkeys’ Whistles & Motorbikes is also on this block between Lincoln and Berkeley.” GMAP

“Don’t forget about the premium being paid to live in tenement railroad flats!”
Don’t get me started!
“Please, let’s not call it “vintage”.”
Right on benson, why not just call it ‘used’? I guess then the price would drop in half.
“I’m impressed so many of these places can survive with ebay out there. ”
NSR, clothing is harder to buy on line and I have bought all kinds of used stuff on line. First, you can’t try it on. Second, you can’t feel the fabric or see the workmanship. Plus a lot of designer stuff on ebay is fake.
“Vintage clothing, nowadays, seems to be all from when I was a teenager, in the 1970’s, or newer. Stuff from the ’50’s is positively archaic.”
Yeah, MM. When I first started checking out ‘vintage’ shops I thought 1930s-1950s was ‘vintage’. One of my favorite brownstoners came by for a visit the other week, and when checking out Mrs. D’s walk-in closet pronounced all her 1980s Coach pocketbooks to be ‘vintage’. Reminds me, I’ll have to check ebay!
Remember, it will be used when you sell it. So may as well get it used when you buy it!
and people turning their brownstone ground floors into crotchfruit rent-a-centers!

“First the trailer park in Bushwick, and now folks in Park Slope can no longer afford new clothes.
The economy is worse than I thought.”
