Zoo Vintage Emporium

This place is a veritable treasure chest! There is a great mix of over the top and chic, classic looks. The prices aren’t bargain basement, but they’re not high-​end vintage shop prices either.
I spent some time pawing through the fantastic assortment of sequined and beaded tops and dresses wishing I had a special occasion that called for a little bling, and then contemplating a David Lee Roth inspired jumpsuit, but ultimately ended up with a stunning, stylish — and far more practical — wool herringbone jacket for $ 100. Not a steal, mind you, but completely consonant with the quality and styling (and you can bet no one else will be wearing one like it!)

This place looks like a pink flamingo gobbled up the last five decades and vomited them back up again. In the best possible way.
Situated just off Crown and a block or two from Oxford, this vintage store involves two levels of mens and womens vintage clothes and accessories, the bottom floor selling stock at sale prices.
The dresses here are more expensive than you’ll find at your average second hand/​Salvos store, but not as pricey as you can expect from some of the city’s spendy trendy vintage stores. I don’t really mind paying that little bit extra for someone else to fish out the good from the bad for me, as long as I’m not paying over $ 100 for someone having a better eye than I.
Zoo Vintage Emporium has a bunch of nice skirts and real fur shrugs and jackets and their racks of dresses come from an exciting variety of styles and decades, a nice change to the racks of same style different material dresses you get at some vintage stores.
Zoo Vintage Emporium was a new find for me and I think it’s my pick of this cluster. Also, the exciting descriptions on the tags of each item all but impel you to buy them. Wanna buy a «Summery fun lemon swing skirt»? When you put it like that, who wouldn’t?!
