Black Shag Vintage

1220 Gallatin Ave, Nashville, TN 37206

One of my personal FAVORITES is Black Shag Vintage. So much so I used to work there just to be around his curated collection of pure vintage gold. The shop has been featured on TV shows, like Nashville on ABC, and regularly is a spot for photo shoots. You may even see a celeb shopping next to you as this place is infamously a celeb favorite. For instance, my partner bought this Rob Zombie jersey that Miley Cyrus had just tried on the week before. Cool huh?! I would live in this store if I could. It is on the pricier side so come ready to shell out $100-200 per piece.

Old Made Good

3701B Gallatin Pike, Nashville, TN 37216

OMG! Old made good is home to a super unique collection of jewelry, mens and women's fashion, and home decor. I LOVE following them on Instagram for the owner's witty and refurbished art available for purchase. She takes vintage paintings and writes things like, "Bitch, don't kill my vibe" on it lol. Between those paintings and their mix of midcentury vibes, this tops my list for one of the best vintage stores in Nashville.

East Nashville Antique Mall

East Nashville Antiques is one of the newest spots to open up for smaller vintage vendors and antique mall collectors alike. In East Nashville, you can find turquoise, clothing, furnishings, and all other sorts of home accessories and apparel.

Anaconda Vintage

1062 E Trinity Lane #101, Nashville, TN 37216

Anaconda Vintage is a small shop behind Grimey's in East. Their selection of coats and sunnies are some of the best in town. I even found the most beautiful brass candle sticks for my mantle on Christmas from here! Affordable prices and selection are definitely two of their strong suits.

Starland Emporium

2110 8th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37204

If you are looking for a shop with ALOT of personality... check out Starland Emporium. The carpet is trippy and so is their collection of fashion, home decor, Playboys, and music. Located on 8th Ave near Zanies, make sure to grab a coffee from their neighbor 8th and Roast and plan on staying a while to shop. It's worth it. They have super fair prices, like on my fav yellow aviators I snagged from them a while back for $10!

Savant Vintage

2302 12th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37204

Located in 12 South, Savant Vintage is the first shop you hit if you are coming in from the Gulch side of 12 South! She has been slinging vintage since 2002 in that shop. Floor to ceiling, Savant is packed FULL of goodies. I love her focus on western wear and turquoise selection! She's a character and keeps me coming back to chat her up on her picking' travels. Her stuff isn't cheap so come ready to pay those 12 South prices.

Nashville is also full of independently owned shops that do not have a store front. There are regular pop ups in both outdoor spaces and other local spots. A few of my favorites are Vintage Social Club, Gunstreet Goods, and Be Good Shop. Other honorable mentions for additional shops are High Class Hillbilly and Live True Vintage in Hermitage.

There are SO many more out there that left to be explored which is awesome. Nashville has a great vintage clothing scene and only getting better with time. Each heading is linked to the Instagrams of the shops where you can find all other details and hours. Make sure to check out these vintage stores all open now in Nashville!
