Emporium 32 — Local services in Salem

I absolutely love this place. In my opinion, nothing tops a shop like this one. Not gimmicky at all! Unique items and the owners are great people, too. My husband bought this sharp hat that we are actually going to get a custom suit made to go with it. I got these beautiful drinking glasses and some amazing smelling candles. The interior is super charming and nice to look at and you can tell they have put their heart and soul into this shop. We actually might go back again today to get more stuff that we fell in love with. Great shop, great people, great place to visit, even if only for a few minutes - it is completely worth it.

Absolutely beautiful, well curated turn of the century curiosity themed shop. The selection is small but there's both affordable mass produced products like prints, home decor, pins, and accessories, as well as more select artisan quality items and clothing. And the curation is so spot on.

Themes of items is turn of the century stuff ranging from victorian seance parlors, to early science, to women's suffrage.

Locally owned and operated, and the employees are always impressively dressed, attentive, and seem genuinely happy to be there. And I don't blame them, it's such a cool shop.

I would love to see the curator add some items that represent the labor movement of the turn of the century, similar to the suffragette offerings. If such a...
