Durham Vintage Collective — Local services in Durham

Excellently curated items at reasonable prices. Bags, shoes, clothing, jewelry, sunglasses... Everything you need. I think they could use a larger selection for plus sized clothing, otherwise perfection. The man working the register was so friendly and had a killer playlist going (excellent taste in music!). You can really tell this is a well loved project that continues to be treasured by locals and...
