What People Are Saying About Via's Vintage Wear

In Short – The "Breakfast at Tiffany's" mural sends the message: this is a house of style for Audrey Hepburn's loyal disciples. Via's collection includes top styles in matching condition and prices tend to reflect that. Skinny cocktail dresses, posh cashmere sweaters and sleek suits fashioned by classic designers wait patiently to be taken somewhere fabulous. Twinkly art-deco jewelry and slinky beaded purses spruce up what's already in shoppers' closets.

Excellent Management

by Katzenjammer1975 at Citysearch

I've been bringing my mom's vintage clothes from the 60's to Via's for the last year and a half. My mom had quite the collection and the Owner of Via's is great about knowing what to pick for the store out of the piles I bring in. When she does not pick clothes i bring in, she lets me know other good venues that might be interested in the styles I bring in. She is efficient, knowleagable, and decisive...and ALWAYS gives me fair prices for what I bring in. I have a lot of trust in Via's. The staff has always been friendly and fun. I know that someone will find my mom's clothes and enjoy them, not to mention the extra money I make cleaning out the house! The store has wonderful clothes, jewelry, and shoes. It is THE place to go if you want the highest quality vintage wear.

  • Pros: Wonderful Vintage Clothes/Great Staff

What a TERRIBLE place!

I made the mistake of making an appointment to sell some great vintage clothing to Via's. I am from NYC and have enjoyed the selection at this store since moving to the twin cities. I know the worth of my stuff since I have had great luck selling on ebay. I understood my items would be worth less at Via's, but decided it was less hassle.

The woman huffed / scoffed at most of my items (hello- who does that??) I have been a fan of vintage clothing for more than 10 years- I would never wear vintage that was not in good condition. Many of the items had name brands that fetch a lot of money online. How very uninformed!!

Really not concerned about whether my items were of use to them or not- it was the way in which the woman conducted herself that I find disgusting!! They may have found my stuff unappealing NOW, but they sure did not 2 years ago as I informed the ugly one- some of the pieces (worn once) were FROM THEIR VERY STORE!!! No, Via's, being rude does not make you hip- at all.

  • Pros: large selection of vintage clothes
  • Cons: RUDEST STAFF EVER

LOVE THIS STORE!

by Mary21 at Citysearch

I went in there once awhile ago. I needed a 50s era outfit for that very same evening. The staff was VERY helpful!! They showed me several pieces in my price range. I was stressed thinking about finding something that would work for the party that night--and the staff couldn't have been better.

I will for sure visit them again, and recommend this store to anyone interested in vintage wear!!!!!

  • Pros: they are AWESOME!
  • Cons: no free stuff. :(
