Capital Vintage - Kingston (NY)

5 /5 Bailey Leiter: This is the most wonderful vintage clothing store in Kingston and the surrounding areas. As a lifetime collector and former vintage clothing store owner myself, I was overjoyed to find such a gem. This store is packed with carefully selected and curated pieces ranging from all decades in a variety of sizes. All in excellent condition and they usually have something unique and special about them. The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful! She has helped me pick things I wouldn’t have chosen for myself which is almost impossible for any sales person to do. This store is also BIG so there’s a lot of variety to choose from and she puts out lots of new inventory regularly. The prices are very fair for the curation. It’s not a thrift store. If you are a real collector, do not miss this lovely shop if you’re in the area!

1 /5 S Berling: Owner of the store was incredibly rude. She did not acknowledge us on entry even though we were the only ones in the store, made eye contact and said hi. She was unhelpful, and short when we asked if there were any skirts, and where we might find them. Maybe she was just having a bad day but we all picked up the same unwelcoming energy. The clothing is also WAY overpriced, I’m talking Lee brand shorts that would retail at $40 the most being sold for over $100, and hair clips for $25 +, that I see at other stores for half the price. I understand certain vintage items that are specifically unique and no longer being made, that of high quality material and hard to find, and upscale brand having a higher price, but this was not the case. The clothing was mostly run of the mill secondhand store type stuff. I’m not an unreasonable person, I understand that work goes into selecting used clothing for resell, maintaining a store, and rent, but this place was completely unreasonably priced and with the unfriendly owner it was a bad experience . I would not recommend this store. There are plenty of similar shops located in the area charging reasonable prices with friendly owners.

5 /5 Rebeca Go: One of the best vintage and re-sell shops I’ve been to. So I sad I had to walk out without my two favorite finds that day: one cozy beautiful pink sweater or this fitted dress. But I’m thinking of going back one day. They have a great selection of everything!

5 /5 Tyler Snazelle: Amazing selection, we could have spent hours here. I was able to grab 3 pieces I’ll likely have in my wardrobe for the rest of my years in the 20 minutes we had to shop. Quality vintage and really fairly priced. Owners were super lovely and fun to chat with. Everything I want from a vintage store! I’ll return every time I’m in Kingston.

5 /5 Nina Bernstein: Amazing vintage collection and very good prices. Don’t miss this gem! The owner is so nice and helped me pick out fun things. Loved it all!
