Announcement - Spring Fashion Event!

We are excited to partner with Fashion@Brown to kick off their annual Fashion Week this April!  We will have another roomful of vintage vendors, and, may even extend out onto the patio if weather permits!  Same location, many returning vendors and a number of new vendors as well!  The difference between this show and our annual fall event is that this show will feature fashion-related items only.  Men's and Women's clothing and accessories.  That's everything from frilly dresses to everyday jackets and skirts.  From high heels to espadrilles.  Jewelry, hats, shoes, boots, jackets and scarves.  Tie bars, cuff-links and neckties. Bow ties and plaid.  Preppy and Mod.  Something for everyone for sure!  As always, the main event is indoors with free admission. Open to the public as well as students.  Free Sunday on-street parking and one block from the RIPTA stop at the top of the tunnel at Thayer Street. Most vendors accept credit cards and all take cash.  Two bank ATM's in the building make buying a snap!   Keep watching the blog for lists of vendors, look-books, sneak peeks and more leading up to the event!  Follow us on Facebook for all the latest news...

We'll have fashions for men as well as women, from all time periods and at all price points!

Colorful costume jewelry for every day or formal wear will be offered from many vendors!

Designer goods more your thing?  We've got that too!  Some gently used and some never worn and still with the tags!  Both vintage and "late model" designs...

Love the obscure and hard to find stuff?  Check out this selection of 1960's hosiery all mint in the packages - and this is just from one vendor!

Oh, and a big PS!  Two of our vendors have decided to split their spaces with other sellers.  That means we will also have both funky vintage children's items from Jesse's Threads and even more vinyl from What Cheer Antiques on the floor!

Vendors are also bringing linens, holiday items (Thanksgiving and Christmas), housewares, luggage, and so much more!  Check out the previous posts on this blog, pics on our Facebook Page and pics on our Facebook event page to see all the photos shared to date.  This is still just the tip of the iceberg, however, you have to come to the Bazaar to see it all!

Intersection of Brown St and Waterman St

(Use 75 Waterman for GPS)

East Side, Providence

Indoors - Free Admission

Fresh Stock!

You might have heard us use the term "fresh stock" when discussing Urban Vintage Bazaar and thought "What does that mean?"  What that means is that there will be plenty of merchandise "fresh" to the buying market for the FIRST time at this show!  Of course, it is all vintage, so, it was even "fresher" at some point in the past, but, for the sellers at this event who do other shows, sell on line or in brick and mortar shops, "fresh" stock for this show means items that have not yet been offered at other shows, on-line or in shops.

Every piece of 1960's and 1970's jewelry you see in the photos in this post will be "fresh" from Carmen and Ginger!  None have been offered previously at other shows or on-line. They have been gathered and set-aside to debut at Urban Vintage Bazaar for you!    And don't worry, there will be MUCH more jewelry from this seller and many other sellers at the event!  And if jewelry is not your thing keep watching!  We will be selling items for men as well as women, clothing, coats, accessories, mid-century housewares and lighting, books, art work and more!  And as we get closer to the date of the show, we will continue to whet your appetite by posting pics here!  (Oh, and PS for those of you interested in the jewels shown here...priced from $8 - $20 with 80% of the items $10 or $12.  Yup...it's gonna be THAT good!)
