The Best Vintage Shops in Florence: A Neighborhood Guide

Anyone who lives in Florence knows it: between the markets and the hidden boutiques, every neighborhood has its own temple of vintage. Whether you’re after your next pair of Levi’s, a period tailored dress, or a designer accessory, this guide takes you straight to the best vintage shops in the city.

Oltrarno

• Clochard9.2 (Via dei Serragli)
  Here I found an almost scholarly approach to men’s vintage. Every piece is chosen with care, with an eye for authenticity. The selection ranges from military surplus to classic tailoring, the fruit of years of hunting.
• Stondo Vintage (Borgo Stella)
  If you don’t know it’s there, you could walk right past it. Inside, though, are shelves upon shelves of jackets, bags, and accessories. I’ve turned up a few gems here that you’d never have guessed from the street.
• Recollection by Albrici (Via dei Serragli)
  More an experience than a shop. Precious fabrics, tailored garments, materials that seem to come from an atelier of another age. Stepping into Albrici is like sinking into an elegance suspended between fashion and antiques.
• Momo Vintage
  An almost museum-like shop, with a whole room devoted to menswear and an astonishing selection of belts. Wandering the shelves, you feel more as if you’re in an archive than a store.
• 9 Rosso (Borgo San Jacopo)
  Small but refined, perfect if you’re after vintage accessories and jewelry. I once found a genuinely one-of-a-kind 1960s brooch here — a gift that landed beautifully.
• PX Military Vintage (Via dei Serragli)
  Walk in and it feels like crossing the threshold of an American military depot. Camo jackets, Hawaiian shirts, jeans: prices vary, but the selection is authentic and original.

Sant’Ambrogio

• Lady Jane B. Vintage (Via dei Pilastri)
  A tiny boutique that looks straight out of a British film. Womenswear only, from the 1930s to the 1990s: bags, hats, shoes, and retro dresses. Years ago I bought a green floral dress here that I still wear today, in perfect condition.
• Tee Pee Vintage (Via dei Macci)
  I discovered it recently and it won me over at once. Honest prices, clean and fresh-smelling pieces, some still with the tags on. I picked up a denim jumpsuit here that has become one of my favorite things to wear.

San Lorenzo and around

• Epoca Vintage (Via dei Fossi)
  A true institution: it began as a stall at the San Lorenzo Market back in the 1960s and is still family-run today. Here vintage is a passion, handed down from one generation to the next. Every piece seems to have a story, and often the owners will tell it to you.
• Desii Vintage (Via dei Conti)
  Opened in 2008, it was among the city’s first second-hand shops. It carries designer pieces, from Gucci to Chanel, in a beautifully designed space. More menswear-oriented, but worth the visit for the sheer beauty of the place alone.
• Rewind Vintage (Via San Gallo)
  Small but irresistible: Hawaiian shirts, sports sweatshirts, shorts. Perfect for anyone who loves street style.
• Hunter Vintage (Via del Moro)
  A genuine archive, with pieces reaching as far back as the 1700s. If you’re after rare, historic garments, you’ll find real treasures here.
• Melrose Vintage (Via de’ Ginori + Largo Alinari)
  Walking into one of the two Melrose shops is like crossing between different eras. Each room has its own style: western, rock ‘n’ roll, romantic. I’ve bought several shirts here, each lovelier than the last.
• Humana Vintage (Via delle Belle Donne + Via Faenza)
  Low prices, great variety, and a bonus: the profits go to charity. A regular stop for me — I’ve found coats and sweaters here that I still wear.
• Street Doing Vintage Couture (Via dei Servi)
  A real fashion archive: accessories, scarves, jewelry, and original garments from the historic Italian and French houses, going back to the late 1800s.
• Dolce Vita – Officina Vintage (Via del Giglio)
  A paradise for soccer fans, with collectible jerseys, but also cashmere and streetwear. A mix with something for everyone.
• La Noia Vintage (Via Guelfa)
  A young, experimental shop with a good men’s/women’s balance and a range of prices. The owner is endlessly helpful and patient: I’ve found special pieces here thanks to his advice.
• Clochard (Via dei Conti)
  The “old” Clochard is organized chaos, with garments packed tight together and unbelievably good prices. It’s the classic place where you manage to find the unfindable.

Every shop is a world of its own, full of stories and possibilities. Whether you’re hunting for your next pair of Levi’s, a period tailored dress, or the soccer jersey you dreamed of as a kid, there’s always an address in this city ready to surprise you.
