Just when it feels like I've explored every vintage store in the city there's a new gem! CLE Vintage is a vintage store that was initially an online storefront. It became so popular that they opened a storefront in Parma in June. How did I just find it in October?! I'm happy that Vintage Clambake (!) brought me to this store!
AMBIANCE: Imagine getting into a Time Machine and traveling to the 80's. That's exactly how this place feels. No other local vintage store has the rooms setup so much to a certain time period. I'm referring specifically to their funky living room area. It's so gorgeous and timeless! Think vibrant, funky, and picture worthy.
INVENTORY: Inside the store you'll find multiple rooms - front area with furniture and shelves, living room home goods area, a room to the side with clothing, and back warehouse looking space with a mix of everything. The store has it all - furniture, home goods, accessories, clothing, and decor. The inventory is very organized, some decor is even organized by color. Inventory is generally well priced considering the pristine condition and uniqueness.
MY FIND: While I visit many vintage stores, I really only buy true treasures. I found a purse in phenomenal conditions with a built in clock. It was $45 but really I'd probably pay double, it was that good. How amazing is that? I have not found anything more amazing at any other stores. I can't wait to put my book club book in my new purse and show it to the world. The purse was in very good condition as everything else here.
SERVICE: I really enjoyed the people at CLE Vintage. I had a conversation with two ladies at the store. They were super friendly and were very excited about my purchase. I felt very welcome here! Truly exceptional service!
EVENTS: The store is starting to host events. I attended Vintage Clambake that was seriously delicious and generous. There was also a band, indoor and outdoor seating. The event was very well attended.
Next I'm really excited about Vintage Bingo that this store is hosting! It feels like a perfect indoor fall activity. I'll be signing up!
I seriously loved CLE Vintage. The staging, the merchandise, and the service make me want to return soon! I really love my purchase so much! I'll be back very soon and would recommend that you also visit! read more
