Find Chanel jackets and Gucci handbags among the high-end wares at this lavish vintage boutique. Owner Andrea Miller opened the store in fall 2008, inspired in part by her grandparents’ bygone antique shop in the historic Pink House in Cape May, New Jersey. The store graced the cover of The New Yorker in 1974, and Miller displays the framed cover on the wall alongside the work of contemporary photographers like Angie Smith, Tema Stauffer, and Emiliano Grandado. The space is ornately decorated with a sparkly glass chandelier, gilded mirrors, and antique display cases. The selection spans high-end resale designer jackets, dresses, and handbags, as well as basic cotton tees by Alternative, men’s thermals, ready-to-wear designs by Kaylee Tankus and Genetic Denim, and antique jewelry from the twenties through the sixties. A smattering of mostly vintage accessories includes silk printed scarves, men’s cuff links, flasks, and antique poker sets. — Kaija Helmetag
