I smell Vintage…

Why is it that every time you walk into a vintage store you are greeted with the same smell?

I'm not quite sure, but I found an awesome vintage store in München...

I was walking around last week near Isartor and found a boutique which had clothing for people who are in love with MIA’s style. I wandered about the 3-storey house of wonders and found all sorts of things from the 80’s, 90’s, and today, including items which were clearly second-hand.

I had no idea from the name of the boutique that it might’ve been a Buffalo Exchange or Crossfoads Trading Company type of store, but the faint smell which began to envelope me towards the back of the boutique clearly indicated to my senses that this was no Nordstroms.

I found all sorts of vintage “ugly" sweaters which I absolutely LOVE, a fabulous pair of grey skinny jeans (new) and tons and tons of funky party-wear. I didn't buy anything but I’m definitely going back for the grey skinnies.

Everything wasn't all that great though. The boutique seemed namely to be a mixture of a vintage store, a really cheap Forever 21, and DKNY; an interesting combination which requires the customer to hunt for a good find and be extremely creative with his or her dress style.

Rating: 4 / 5 (on a good day).
