Welcome to Viva Vintage Clothing!

Click on the links or images to check out this week's featured items: This 1950s turquoise cotton Mexican circle skirt is hand-painted with swirls of black and metallic gold, with a black border at the hem.  The black and aqua color combination is quintessentially 50s--bold and beautiful!  The mid-weight piqué fabric of this 1960s cotton print “trapeze” dress has a cute yellow and white daisies design. It is sleeveless, with an easy, comfortable fit that will be great for summer, from day to evening.  It can be shaped at the waist with the (removable) matching fabric belt.

At Viva Vintage Clothing, we revel in the quality and variety of past fashions. We add new vintage items frequently, hunting high and low for vintage dresses ranging from the beaded beauties of the 1920s to the tailored elegance of the 1930s and 1940s. We adore 1950s little black cocktail dresses, 1960s designer suits, slinky 1970s gowns and outrageous 1980s party dresses. Separates like cashmere sweaters and circle skirts can be topped off with our stylish collection of coats and jackets. You'll find accessories like handbags, the perfect hat, scarf or pair of shoes to complement your vintage outfit, and a sparkling selection of vintage costume jewelry.  We also carry a small amount of vintage menswear, including suits, hats, ties and shirts.
