East Village Vintage Collective has become a must-visit for all of your clothing needs, but the vintage shop carries much more in store. Yes, they have some of the chicest selections of clothing for your thrifting pleasure, but they also have an array of accessories, vinyl, tchotchkes, home goods, toys and more. Some of their home goods include vintage glasses, such as a Burger King Burger Thing Glass from 1979, and art pieces like ceramic and wooden poodles from the ‘60s. EVVC makes sure to update both of their locations (in the East Village and Jacksonville, Florida) with the raddest items they can find.
