We offer $7 early bird entry at 10am.

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 really excited to welcome Revision Vintage to their first Vintage Charlotte Winter Market. Revision Vintage specializes in hand-picked vintage items from around the U.S. for both men and women . Here is a look at how Revision Vintage got started and a sneak peak of what they are bringing to market:

Revision Vintage is a vintage clothing and oddities shop in Downtown Greensboro co-owned and collaboratively run by five women. Our story began in a shared studio space in 2016 where we hosted monthly vintage pop-up shops and parties. In May 2017, we made the move to our downtown storefront and regular retail hours. We focus on wearable, affordable vintage with a rock and roll vibe and that indescribable ‘it factor.’ We’re your stop for jaw-dropping holiday party dresses, tooled leather bags, vintage furs (and faux furs), and perfect leather motorcycle jackets.

We are really excited to welcome Laura from Posy to her first Vintage Charlotte Winter Market. Posy specializes in quality, personal, and purposeful vintage goods. Here is Laura with some of her favorite customer stories and a sneak peak of what she is bringing to market:

At a recent market, I met a new customer, Joshua, who was interested in a 1970’s world globe. He ends up buying it and comes back for his purchase toward the end of the event, saying, “You know how you buy something, and you feel immediate remorse, wondering why you bought that thing? This isn’t one of those times! I love this globe and will keep it forever!” His joy at finding something meaningful was so uplifting! Much like the guy who bought dominoes for his uncle who’d just taught him to play. Or the customer who bought a drinking glass from the World Fair in NYC because he’d been there, the year the glass stated, and had fallen into the fountain, only to have his dad jump in and rescue him. And I love the instance a customer bought a yellow and red floral recipe box because it’s the same one his mom had, and he stayed in my booth texting all his siblings to confirm and share in the excitement.

Posy started off as a love for vintage and has morphed into a matchmaking service, pairing folks with an item that has true meaning to them!

Come out and spend the day shopping with over 80 vintage & handmade vendors. 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 really excited to welcome back Malia from Maliasmark to the Vintage Charlotte Summer Market.  We love her nitty, gritty, fantastically rare vintage finds and can’t wait to see what she is brining to market.  Here is Malia with her story:

Maliasmark VTGCLTAt 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.
Maliasmark VTGCLT
We believe that your perfect space is not decorated but collected. Our customers are constantly looking for that next perfect piece. So, we tend to buy in collections and we want it all. Good news for decorators, for those decorating their own home in a theme, and for those who like a selection!

Summer Market Vendor Spotlight: Inherited

VTG CLT is popping up at the warehouse located at 2205 N Tryon, Charlotte, NC for the fourth annual Summer Market on July 24th (VIP Shop) and 25th (Market Day)!

We are really excited to welcome Sabrina from Inherited to the Vintage Charlotte Summer Market.  Her Summer collection is swoon worthy and we can’t wait to see it in person!  Here is Sabrina breaking down her curatorial choices:

All vintage vendors offer a unique perspective on the pieces we sell. Some of us stick to a specific era; others focus on collecting a particular type of item. Each of us are drawn to these things for a reason, and the way we curate tem tells a story.

Inherited’s intention is to offer pieces that have a sense of romance and wearability — the kinds of clothes you’d inherit if you had a wild, world-traveling great-aunt or a burlesque-dancer-turned-botanist grandmother (if anyone does have this kind of relative, I’m filled with envy).
InheritedSpotlight
I’ve pulled together a Summer Capsule with pieces from the 1940s to the 1970s that capture a bit of what Inherited offers: neutral-toned separates that can be mixed and matched; fabrics like crochet lace, linen and embroidered silk that are nice to look at and touch; and bold prints that are eye-catching without being overwhelming.
InheritedSpotlight2
This capsule is made for summer vacation: all of the pieces can be thrown on without too much fuss. There’s an embroidered caftan you can wear over your bikini, a few dresses that can be worn to dinner or brunch, loose blouses that let you breathe on a hot day, and silky tap pants perfect for staying in. The prints and textures add some exotic appeal, so you can feel like you’ve traveled the world while sitting on your back porch.

The items in this capsule collection (and many others!) will be available at the Vintage Charlotte Summer Market. Looking forward to seeing you there!
