Just the name tells you it is going to be a swanky place to find a special item. From Victorian and Edwardian to the roaring ‘20s through ‘90s, Vintage Martini has it all. European designers like Emilio Pucci and Givenchy ball gowns are the norm at Vintage Martini. A French couture 1912 Jacques Doucet purple velvet coat lined in silk is part of the collection that Ken Weber and Greg Kelly have built. They have recently relocated to a larger location in Uptown and have started to offer men’s vintage wear. If you are looking for something unique, Vintage Martini is the place to go.
