In November of 2005, Proprietor Gretchen Bell signed the lease on an empty space which has grown into a 3,800 sq ft. vintage emporium.
We are a multi award winning, organized, vintage clothing store for women and men with carefully, hand selected items from 1940's-1980's.
Dallas legendary vintage clothing store Ahab Bowen has since closed but has joined the Dolly ranks. Dolly now consigns Ahab's clothing. (All vintage and never seen) We put out on our floor over 200 new items from Ahab Bowen every two weeks.
We stock a large selection of vintage cowboy boots, motorcycle and combat boots and shoes for women and men. We have loads of costume jewelry and accessories from every decade.
The store itself umbrellas over 20 different antique dealers and consignors, who restock AND edit their booths almost daily. We love, carry and have quite a lot of old photos, cameras, memorabilia of all kinds, strange art and old paintings, velvet paintings, black light posters, pottery, gilded frames, Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, Retro, Americana, religious, year books and other items from institutions of learning, medical, military, ephemera, mid-century, furniture, lamps of all kinds, strange dolls or just their parts, vintage fabrics, quilts, mirrors, books, taxidermy, folk art, antiques, camp and kitsch, collectables, oddities, advertising, political, all kinds of glassware, postmortem, fraternal items, housewares, AND childhood nostalgia from every decade. THE LIST goes on and on. Everything here is some what historic and no two things are alike in our store.
We also have a huge, carefully organized AND edited vintage music selection/section all on vinyl.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL SALES.
Every Saturday starting a 2 p.m. our lovely psychic Melinda sits down at her table to do palm readings. She is $15 for 15 minutes. Walk-ins are welcome or one may call ahead on Saturday to be put on her list. She is quite good and is no amateur.
The purpose of this website is to inform the viewer and potential customer of our 'eye' and to provide them with a small taste of what one would find when visiting our store.
