Vintage Style: Straight to the Point
When it opened a few months ago, Vintage Style was new but not review-worthy. Its offerings seemed as generic as its name: just another secondhand shop in gentrified Gulou. But it has since started to develop a niche in Beijing’s most hipster-friendly hutongs, specializing in fringed trousers, fur-lined coats and rather ghoulish silver jewelry.
In terms of décor, it is closer to a teenager’s basement than the carefully crafted eclecticism of Mega Mega Vintage. But if you can tolerate the fake vines on the ceiling, then you’ll be rewarded with a well-selected collection of summer and winter dresses, a range of perfectly worn leather bags, and a small but solid array of Docs and men’s oxfords.
