The Best Vintage Stores in Hudson Valley
Kym Chambers, the founder of Chambers Vintage, lists her favorite vintage stores in Hudson Valley, NY.
If you’re reading this, chances are you are rightly obsessed with the Hudson Valley any season of the year and wearing vintage any day of the week. These two descriptors define my current state of mind. I recently moved my vintage business (Chambers Vintage) from the bustling borough of Brooklyn two hours north to the quaint and beautiful town of Saugerties, New York.
In the meantime, I’ve been exploring all of the delicious vintage clothing stores in and around the Hudson Valley. There is more than enough to satiate the desires of even the most discerning borough resident galavanting in the wilderness of upstate New York.
While it doesn’t seem to matter what town you’re in, there will be an offering of cutely curated antique stores selling vintage clothing and wares, countered by more tightly edited shops with entire libraries of clothes, shoes and accessories to fit any style or budget. It’s all about knowing where to go, because the Hudson Valley has so much to offer. Here are my top 6 stores not to be missed!
Antigo
We cannot talk about vintage upstate without talking about Hudson. Known as a mecca for antique aficionados far and wide, Hudson also boasts enough stellar vintage to make you weak in the knees. If you like the hunt, especially an exciting one that feels like entering a time machine, Antigo is the place for you. With its racks of clothing ranging from designer to obscure, and the plethora of small objects to adorn your body and your life, shoppers never truly know what they’ll walk out of herewith.

Lovefield Vintage
Located in the creative capital of Hudson Valley, Darbie Nowatka and Justin Rice’s Lovefield Vintage has racks stacked with a whole lotta love. There’s not a single piece in the store that Darbie wouldn’t rock herself. The owners moved to Kingston from Brooklyn to assemble a wider community surrounding their curated vintage. From their selection of evening gowns, slips, coats, barrettes, sunglasses and jewelry, you don’t want to miss this shop’s vintage offerings.

Rock City Vintage
Their motto is “Dedicated to the preservation”. Rock City Vintage has managed to not only provide consumers with the most cultivated collection of fashion but to provide a community surrounding it. Molly Farley, the stalwart of Rock City, doesn’t stop at adorning people’s closets, she brings people together to partake in a special area of the circular economy where we can learn from one another. For over 35 years, Farley has given lessons in upcycling classically cool textiles and fabrics, harkening back to the days when knowledge (and style) was passed down through generations. In today’s world of fast fashion, it is refreshing to shop at a store where the message is one of nostalgia and respect for the living history we hold in our closets.
