The shop is filled with some of the most beautiful and unique pieces we've ever seen. The owner took the time to walk us through different items and even shared some history, which made everything so much more meaningful and enjoyable. Even if vintage pieces aren't usually your style, I truly can't recommend this place enough. It's an experience in itself, and you'll likely leave not only with something special, but with a new appreciation and understanding of vintage pieces!

The staff were helpful, they have baskets around to collect all your goodies for purchase. They had a small sale/clearance section. They also have a cute pet and kiddo section.

I took one photo of an item I wanted to purchase but was asking my husband to co-sign on prior. Tbh it was a blatant moment of profiling because I'm young.

Will never return or recommend and will use every opportunity presented to remind others of how horrific this shop is and better alternatives (THERE ARE PLENTY OF BETTER, NOT RACIST OR PROFILE-LIKELY VINTAGE SHOPS IN OLD TOWN AND WITH BETTER ITEMS TOO!) nothing was priced right as well and most things were extremely dirty disgusting dusty and disorganized.

The Hour specializes in new and vintage merchandise dedicated to one of my most favorite distractions: the cocktail. But not just any cocktail. Oh, no. The cocktail of the 40s, 50s, and 60s. A bygone era when Tom Collins was king, a circle dress hung in any self-respecting woman's closet, and the cocktail party was a regular weekend occurrence. (To drive home their commitment to this epoch, The Hour sells "Mad Men" box sets.) The vintage glass collection here is mesmerizing. I was particularly taken with the cocktail sets -- gorgeous pitchers or shakers plus the requisite sipping glasses -- and a little stand of silver and stone picks. Husband was particularly taken by the flasks, especially a masculine looking glass one with a mahogany brown leather cover. He also wanted to walk out with a fun set of golden Toledo cocktail swords. En garde! I spent a lot of time in the little back room that features cocktail party baubles and accessories any woman would covet, from sparkly rhinestone broaches and silk clutches, to exquisite cocktail rings with oversized flowers and feathered hair pieces. I picked up a funky portable purse hook with a fun, retro design...for some reason I've been wanting one for ages, and where better to buy one than at an independent neighborhood store? Not only is The Hour a completely absorbing place to browse and shop; not only is the merchandise impeccably selected and thoughtfully displayed; not only are the prices fair and the staff friendly; but they have also partnered with St. Coletta of Greater Washington, a non-profit that works with adults with intellectual disabilities. The Hour sells pretty glass coasters and trays made by the St. Coletta community, and for each purchase donates $5 back to St. Coletta. Supporting a small local business that, in turn, is giving back to my community? Yes, please.
