For those of you running around like chickens with their heads cut off, racing against time in order to procure the perfect present heres something to consider; vintage? Vintage wear, and items not only have history but are good quality, fashionable, and unique, not to mention very affordable and generally look like they are worth twice their in-store price. So here's a store I stumbled upon today and fell in love with!
Shop: Bobby from Boston
Location:
19 Thayer St.
The South End
Phone: 617.423.9299
T Stop: Broadway, New England Medical Center (but the parking is EASY)
Rating: *****
If you know anything about vintage, or don't know anything about vintage, it's clear to anyone that walks into Bobby's that is one of a kind. The two room Thayer Street hole in the wall is loaded ceiling to floor with men's and women's pieces dating back to the early 1900's (though it has been known to house vintage from the 1800's as well!!). If you're looking for good quality, good prices, and timeless pieces then Bobby's is where you want to be. Also, astoundingly they take both cash and credit. Run by Bobby Garnett who opened the shop in 2000, though he's been in the Vintage business for an astounding 30 years! Oh and the kicker by some off chance you don't find what you're looking for, Bobby himself takes private appointments where one can tour his warehouse in lynn. You don't want to miss this place.
