As you may or may not know, I grew up in South NJ, about 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia. Both of my parents were born and raised there, most of my extended family lives there and I went to college there, so safe to say I spend a fair amount of time in the city of brotherly love. To be honest, I don’t vintage shop there much, since when I am there, it’s usually to visit family, and most of my family members don’t share the same love of vintage as I do. But since I was in Philly with one of my vintage loving friends a few weekends ago, we made the trip to South Philadelphia, my favorite area to vintage shop. Here are a list of the stores we went to. 


We started the morning by having breakfast at the Famous Fourth Street Deli. It’s an old school Jewish deli with a retro interior and great food. I highly recommend it!

​

A few clothing items, but mostly home decor and furniture

This was definitely my favorite stop of the day! They had an amazing selection for really great prices. I scored a hankie and Elvis magazine for only $4 total. 
Philly AIDS Thrift

Open:
11am-8pm Monday through Thursday 
​11am-9pm Friday & Saturday
11am-7pm Sunday

Come Here For:
Literally everything- clothes, furniture, home decor, records, etc

I didn't take photos aside from the outside because this store is HUGE. Since it's a thrift store, it's obviously not as well curated, but you can definitely score some good finds if you dig around. And proceeds go to benefit local AIDS organizations. 
Sazz Vintage 
​618 S 6th Street
Closed Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
Open 12-7pm Wednesday & Thursday 
Open 12-8pm Friday & Saturday 


Come Here For: 
•Men’s Clothes, Shoes & Accessories 
•Women’s Clothes, Shoes & Accessories

Great selection for both men's and women's here. A little more on the "pricey" side but still very affordable overall!
