Vintage Charlotte is now accepting vendors for The Summer Market. This event will be held at The Fillmore Charlotte on Saturday, June 14, 2014 from 10am-6pm. If you are interested in participating as a vendor, hop on over to our vendor FAQs and Application page!
Two years ago, VTGCLT was just an idea. We sprung into action and put all of our energy into creating a small vintage market, which we never knew would be the start of something so amazing! Our first Summer Market was a huge success with over 800 shoppers visiting just 16 vendors in a tiny little venue, but the idea had been sparked and the community had been created.
We immediately knew that we needed to get bigger and better! We welcomed handmade vendors into our little community of finders, creators and makers. We were just stunned by the amazing support we received and by all of our vendors who had now become like our extended VTGCLT family. Our first Holiday Market was held at The Fillmore and was 4 times the size of our first event.
Now two years later, we have held six events, including two bridal events and launched our vintage rentals company. Every event feels like a big Thanksgiving dinner where we get to see all of our favorite (albeit sometimes eccentric) family, friends and community come together to celebrate each other in a local, sustainable marketplace. We certainly couldn’t have done any of this without the support of our vendors, friends, shoppers and, if you are reading this, YOU!
VTGCLT has been working so hard, we thought she deserved a little makeover for her 2nd birthday! We hope you like our new look and we hope to see you all soon at our Summer Market!
We had the most amazing evening at Something Old, Something New at Heist Brewery! Thank you so much to everyone who attended and to all of our wonderful vendors! Here are some of our favorite photos from the big night courtesy of the amazingly talented Anna Naphtali:

Behind the scenes here at Vintage Charlotte, we get more support than we could ever imagine from our talented vendors. Vintage Concord is always there when we need a sounding board, an awesome event poster designed, or even a shoulder to cry on! If you’ve meet Vintage Concord at our pop-up markets, you may already know that they have killer vintage finds as well as at the last market they introduced us to some of their new lighting projects and goods. What you may not know is that Vintage Concord just moved to a new studio where they will be offering their new letterpress workshops. So if you are looking for a creative way to DIY your own wedding invites or you are just interested in learning about letterpress, swing by Vintage Concord’s booth tomorrow at Something Old, Something New!

We are so excited to have Tailored Occasions Event Planning & Design with us for Something Old, Something New this year. Here is Allyson talking about how she loves making your wedding perfect for you:
“One of the biggest honors I can receive is to be trusted with telling a bride’s story on her wedding day. From our first meeting to the last hug just before your big send-off, I love being a part of each couple’s planning journey and the beginning of a long and happy marriage. By getting to know the two of you and your families, I’m able to weave your unique personalities and family traditions into a beautiful, one-of-a-kind celebration that reflects each of you and the love you share.”
