ERRE VINTAGE — Local services in Mexico City

I came to the shop with my siblings and unfortunately our experience was less than enjoyable. We spent the day looking through vintage shops trying to find unique items. We stopped at this store as it was next to other popular stores in the area. My brother entered the store and was greeted by employee. However, that same employee later was essentially accusing my brother of being suspicious and to be on the lookout for him. My brother was wearing a slim card holder that went around his chest.

Full disclosure: this incident happened in 2021. We just returned from Mexico City earlier this month and were reminded of one of our only negative experiences in the city. Maybe they treat their customers (Black ones) better now. Who knows, I'll...

Would NOT recommend. It was a waste of time pero I am from Europe. Still! I think for the price of a stained and worn whatever brand shirt they “curated“ in a beautiful space it’s not worth it. Please go and support artist and designers FROM Mexico because the price is the same. Vintage was supposed to be affordable to give the clothing item another life and here in Mexico city it just feels like a scam. My...
