Well it took awhile to find anything worthy of a MallVomit post in Italy. Surprisingly I have to admit. There was something a bit too…plastic-y about it all, if you MallVomiters know what I mean. Almost ready to boil a whole country’s retail scene down to that – “plastic-y”, Melrose Vintage Store crossed my path.
Worlds away from anything you’d expect to find in Florence, Melrose Vintage Store is a second-hand sanctuary with Wild West routes. Carrying an impressive selection of vintage finds (Barbour jackets, flannel button-ups and original Levis Wranglers to name a few), a step into the store and you think you’re gearing up for the Calgary Stampede.
The Via de’ Ginori location (Via de’ Ginori, 18-r) is the store I had the pleasure of visiting but those interested can also stroll by their other location at Via Largo Alinari, 8, Florence, Italy. www.melrosevintage.it/storefirenze.php
