Halcyon Vintage Clothing

I had a wonderful experience today at this vintage shop! I told Lisa what I was looking for (Downton Abbey Preview Party) and my size and she pulled 3 dresses for me to try. She was attentive, followed up with me from the other side of the curtain in the dressing room, told me the truth about how each looked and came up with alternative styling options! One of the best customer service experiences I’ve had since moving here. She even suggested an accessory that I could buy and make from Joann’s Fabric. She also told me about how I could get more use (combinations and such) out of each piece. I was really impressed AND she was no pressure. I can’t wait to go back to start buying 60’s and 70’s shift dresses for the summer! As far as customer service and attentiveness, this was by far the better of the 2 vintage shops I visited in the same day. :-)

Halcyon is by far the best vintage store in the area, if not the country. Connie has curated the collection to perfection. It is impossible to stop in without buying something.
The staff is so helpful and will answer any questions you have about different pieces, including good ways to style it in a way that is flattering and not dated. There is honestly no place like Halcyon. You can’t help but smile after spending time there!

First let me begin by saying they have a gorgeous selection. I walked into the shop thirty minutes before close, looking for something beautiful, classy and unique for my upcoming business launch party. The owner took one look at me and handed me an outfit to try. It fit like it was tailor-​made for me and she paired it with a beautiful fur stole. They stayed open at least an extra thirty minutes to make sure my needs were met. That kind of customer service is hard to come by these days. I think I have a new favorite store! The staff were very knowledgeable in vintage items and fairly priced. I’d recommend Halcyon to anyone looking for that special something you won’t find anywhere else. The name alone says it all, Halcyon =heavenly!

Well organized vintage shop with fair prices and even better customer service. They definitely make you want to come back!

My favorite vintage store in Richmond! What I love about Halcyon:
–first things first, can you beat this name for a vintage shop? don’t think so
–staff: everyone who works here, especially the owner, is delightful, friendly, helpful, informative.
–staff offers honest feedback: I appreciate that when they say something flatters you, you know it does
–price is fair for this high level of quality
–jewelry is phenomenal. they have some deadstock 20s egyptian revival pieces that make me SOB over the fact I have a metal allergy. Thank goodness for the gorgeous glass bohemian pieces I can wear
–clothing selection is GREAT! Once they had an entire wardrobe of a 70s groupie including leather short short 2-​piece looks including one worn in the presence of Jimmy Page!!!
–Connie and other staff often have specific and great backstories for provenance/​history of pieces.
–if you have high quality vintage to sell, they offer fair prices
–clean garments with either no damage or properly mended
–fun variety; you can always find at least one thing that makes you smile, if not dozens
–cute location

Definitely a fan of the inventory– the shop is impeccably curated which is honestly nicer than digging through rack after rack of stuff in a larger store, and almost all of it is in excellent condition [vintage being what it is, sometimes stuff is worn or damaged, par for the course]. The prices are mostly pretty good, though they are still high enough you won’t think you’ve stumbled into some sort of fantasy realm. The staff always seems a bit distracted while I’m in, though, and I’m not sure if it’s timing or what. I thoroughly enjoy shopping here, however, and will ultimately likely give them pots of money.
Their mural outside is probably also my favorite in the whole city, so…

Used to go here all the time when I lived in Richmond. Glad to see it is still around and doing well. There is a lot of competition in the area for vintage clothes but Halcyon is the place to go if you want gorgeous, quality pieces that won’t break the bank, or the college budget for you VCU’ers. The customer service was great, something I even appreciated only being 18 at the time. I should plan a drive soon to RVA and stop in for sure!

This is the best vintage store in Richmond! I shop vintage in San Francisco, LA and New York and Halcyon is definitely comparable! They carry a great, curated selection of clothing jewelry and accessories in good/​very good condition and at reasonable prices. The staff is also very friendly and knowledgable, fun place to shop and I always look forward to seeing what’s new.

Simply the most amazingly curated vintage shop I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. My go-​to spot for almost 15 years, Halcyon has been around forever for a reason — amazing finds at fair prices. Be careful, Connie and Angelica will quickly hone in on exactly what they have that will fit you best and you’ll wish you had more money with you! There’s always a fresh selection of one-​of-​a-​kind treasures.
Halcyon is an integral part of what makes Richmond great.

I decided to try out halcyon on a whim, I was a little nervous, being new to that area of town, and overly excited that I might just find that ‘one’ gown to make my night.
I was happy to see the great variety of items they had, and that they were priced incredibly reasonably! I don’t often have the opportunity to say that in regards to shop priced vintage. (Never in fact, have I before)
I should first off apologize to the shop keepers that day, I was new to the store, a little out of my element so I talked a little too much, and probably came off as strange. Anyway …
The amount of gowns they had and in such great condition surprised me (upwards of 20 some), I found a 50’s gown (with pockets!) In wonderful shape that fit like a glove.
There were a few dresses I tried that didn’t fit, and at one point (afraid of tearing sensitive brittle fabric) asked a shop girl to help me out of a dress. Literally.
The sales women were exceedingly helpful, and kind, as well as tolerant to all of my questions. They were knowledgeable about any fabrics, jewelry, hats, furs and leathers.
I was pumped to finally have someone to talk to about my pieces at home I was excited about.
All in all I loved my experience here, I will most definitely be a regular spender.

This store is yet another reason for me to move to Richmond

Not only are the clothes in excellent condition and affordable, but they are unique and authentic! The staff and owner truly cares about what they do and show it by giving big smiles to each customer! I know there are some vintage stores that have been around for a long time… But I feel that they are constantly putting a new spin on vintage! Now… If only I could spend my whole paycheck there… Oh if only!

so great and frequent visits always show off new old beauties

Visited Halcyon on Robinson for the second time in a week today. A great place to find some VERY special pieces for your wardrobe. So many pretty party dresses. And a good selection for men also.
Timeless fashion!

Absolutely love this place! What a gem!!! The ladies who work here are amazing, there is something for everyone here!!!

Well priced clothing and a very friendly group of ladies behind the counter. A great place to hunt down that perfect little vintage ensemble for a night out around town. I must say I absolutely love that hat collection!

I have to come right off the bat and say that you would be incredibly hard-​pressed to find a staff that loves their business as much as the folks at Halcyon seem to. I’m not a shopper or a big garments person, but every time I’ve visited, I’ve left flat-​out stoked about the history and latent potential of good clothing. It takes a very dedicated staff with a legitimate love for their products to get that kind of reaction out of me.
Considering that all the items I’ve encountered in there are in «good» or better condition, the prices are incredibly reasonable. And if there is something you’re looking for that you don’t see, ASK. I have learned so many cool things from Connie just by asking if she’s seen this-​or-​that or has an opinion on items I’m looking at. They will hold items for you, and if there’s something really specific you’re looking for, they will try to keep an eye out while they’re out scouring for new inventory.
Basically, if you need to go clothes shopping, you’re willing to invest in classic, well-​made items, and you’re a fan of top-​notch customer service, just do yourself a favor and make it a point to go to Halcyon.

I don’t know how this place isn’t rated #1 in Richmond, this is the vintage store I compare all others to: LA to New York. Every single time I wear something from Halycon I get complements on it and use it as an excuse to rave about this store.
I’ve been shopping here since high school (over 10 years, yikes!) and Connie always has an
collection of clothes, accesories and shoes at more than reasonable prices. Everytime I’m in town (haven’t lived in Richmond for years and years), this place is always on my list of stops, sometimes before family and friends.
I really can’t say enough good things about Halycon…

Halcyon is a great vintage-​shopping staple in the Fan. Owner Connie Caroll knows her stuff and fills her shop with a great selection of women’s and men’s pieces.
Because I’m a sucker for vintage purses and jewelry, I often head to the back where there’s a case filled with old baubles and usually some awesome tiny vintage handbags.
The store isn’t huge, but the items have all be carefully selected for their style and quality. Everything is in great condition. If you like vintage shopping, become a fan of the store on Facebook. You’ll find out about special events and occasional Facebook-​fan-​only specials.

A fine Richmond establishment, full of merriment, packed with an always changing and diverse assortment.
I’m always searching for the ultimate vintage store, and Halycon is truly IT for me. Time and time again, I come back here, not only for gifts and that amazing dress or heirloom necklace (that will without a doubt be with me for life.)
You will feel right at home!
