To say that 2020 has not gone as expected is an understatement. We have missed our Spring Market due to COVID-19, and will be crossing our fingers that our Winter festivities can move forward. As soon as we know more, we will share information here.

In other, more positive news, we are completely obsessed with the design that Emma Headley created for our Spring Market. We were bummed to see it go underused and underseen and so we have made limited edition patches from the design!

We’ve also taken the opportunity to (finally) get all of our merch available in our online shop. Everything is available for shipping and for local pick up. If you would like to show your support for VTGCLT in this time of no events, please consider buying a patch/tote/tee <3

And who knows, maybe sometime soon we will add more vintage and handmade items to the online shop 😉

Happy April, we made it. The sun is shining and the flowers are starting to bloom and we hope everyone is doing as well as possible. 🌸

Four weeks ago, we accepted all of our amazing vendors, and three weeks ago we decided to postpone the Spring Market. We’ve reserved a date in late June with our friends at Camp North End as a make up date. With so much uncertainty, it is hard to know if even that date will be safe, but we hope beyond hopes that it will be—most importantly because that would mean we were all past the worst of this.

VTGCLT is a brand that was founded on the idea of bringing a community of small businesses together. That our voices are louder as one and that through supporting one another we are stronger, and more successful. We believe strongly in this still, and we won’t be trying to replicate the market on-line. Rather, we will quietly plot and plan how in the future we can be together more often and in more meaningful ways.

Hopefully we will see everyone healthy and happy IRL on June 27th, but until then, stay home, stay safe, and save the date 💕

We are very excited to announce that The Spring Market will be held at the historic Ford Building at Camp North End on April 25, 2020 from 10am-5pm.

Vintage Charlotte is now accepting vendor applications for The Spring Market. Click here for more information about vending at our events.

Leading up to the market, we’ll be sharing vendor spotlight posts that give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors in advance of the market. We are excited to welcome Maliasmark back to the Vintage Charlotte Winter Market. Maliasmark is a vintage shop that specializes in giving new life to discovered treasures. Here is Malias with an introduction to their brand, and a sneak peek at a few special items that will be available at the Winter Market:

At Maliasmark, we live by our tagline, Rust and Ruin, Reborn. We are driven by the knowledge that there are so many things that do not belong in a landfill. Whether they can still actually be used for their intended purpose, used in new and interesting ways, or just set on a shelf to bring a smile to our faces, we save these pieces from the past so they can be given a new future.

We source our items from all over the South and ship all over the world. Most days of the week will find us scouring flea markets, thrift stores, estate sales, and auctions for our vintage favorites and quirky one of a kind gems. 

We believe that your perfect space is not decorated but collected. Our customer tend to be unique individuals with a great eye for style. They enjoy the thrill of the hunt, the quality, and timelessness that vintage items offer. Many times, our items have more emotional value than dollar value. Whether it’s a piece that triggers a great memory from your past or something new for a future home or event, we can’t wait to see what treasures you find at the Vintage Charlotte Winter Market!
