Four stars for the feel of the shop and its curated inventory. They carry imported artisanal soaps, limited kitchenware, and a variety of lifestyle knickknacks in addition to a medium-sized collection of vintage menswear. I would certainly come by again to purchase smaller gifts, but I found their clothing, while in good taste, to be extremely overpriced from the perspective of the consumer in some cases. (I've worked in vintage wear and decor before though, so I understand why and how this happens.) However, if you have the money and are looking for a specific caliber of vintage clothing, this is a great place to start, and the size of their collection will save you time versus wading through a series of larger, messier, cheaper thrift store situations. read more

Literally love this store in Dumbo. They have a great mix of vintage and new products. The service is also so nice. They also have a great incense smell in there. Sometimes it's pretty crowded but I would still highly recommend! read more

horrible customer service and insane return policy buried in fine print. 25% restocking fee for store credit only?? Insane

DO NOT BUY VINTAGE ITEMS. Rigid return policies. I bought Levi jeans online that did not fit at all and they do not accept returns. You have to make sure the jeans fit before you buy them online, or just avoid buying from them all together. read more

Poor customer service. I purchased a belt one size up as recommended on the site. I'm a 32 waist and purchased the 34 and it did not even come close to fitting. I emailed them to exchange it and they would not exchange it. I am going to be forced to dispute the charge as they are selling incorrectly sized products. The quality seemed fine for a child. Also came damaged. read more

I was immediately followed by two employees pretending to be customers. I know they have a job to do but they were quite obviously following me and made me feel uncomfortable. Won't shop here again as I see that a lot of other brown folks get the same treatment read more

The coolest store! They have a lot of nice clothing, ceramics, accessories, glasses, denim, etc. Scored a very warm pair of wool gloves and knitted cap, and not at too bad of a price either. The selection exudes high quality and fashion. No complaints about the staff, they were polite and chill. read more

Front General Store - Storefront - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

On a recent visit to NYC, I was on a mission to look for vintage men's Levi's. I figured that out of all the places in the world, there must be at least one shop that truly specializes in them, to the point of matching my level of nerdiness of analyzing the cut, age, country of manufacture, etc of each pair. After visiting a few other vintage and thrift stores around the city, I found my mecca at Front General Store. While I would have to pore through every pair at other shops to maybe find one diamond in the rough, it seemed that just about every pair of Levi's they had were high quality made in USA, with even some deadstock pairs of orange tabs in the mix. The main stacks of denim are toward the back portion of the main area of the store. Their level of curation and organization (mixed up some by customers, but otherwise organized by cut and very clearly marked with sizes) does not come cheap as you can expect to pay $100+ for a pair.. you might be able to find similar pairs for half that elsewhere, but you'd really have to search through a lot to find them. The small area in the very very back of the store is where the top gems are though. On one of the racks is the best denim they have, a mixture of redlines and even some big E's. You MIGHT get lucky running across a pair like these elsewhere, but the experience of being able to look through an entire group of them together is nearly museum-like. This is definitely a destination shop worth the trek! read more

Amazing store especially for vintage Levi's large selection of 501's from the 60's onward Interior was well laid out and the sales help were extremely knowledgable and friendly Definitely worth a visit read more

It's a general store that sell high quality vintage products, like from postcards to candles to soap to jewelry to clothes. Clothes seem to be very stylish and timeless at the same time. Things tend to be quite expensive but if you're looking for gift ideas or don't mind paying for high quality vintage products, then def give this place a stop. read more

The staff is so rude. I said Hi when we entered and they just squared me up and down without notice. Like some other people said, we were also followed around to see if we were staling, which was senseless - we were obviously tourists, as if someone would fly from Europe to steal a 200$ stained sweater. The whole shopping experience was really uncomfortable. They were not helping at all and would look away when one tried to talk to them. At check out the cashier was borderline confrontational. I get it that retail is no fun but these people really go out of their way to make you feel crap. Don't buy from here ( I wish I didn't ). read more

If you're looking for a bargain this isn't the spot. While not necessarily overpriced they exclusively curate high quality offerings, and I throughly appreciate it. Beautiful items for the kitchen (the unglazed plates and bowls were stunning), very cool miscellaneous items, and a variety of stylish and prototypically Brooklyn clothes. Absolutely worth stopping in! read more

ATMOSPHERE Aurgh! Too cute. I'm in love with all the ceramic-wares. Each item is such an art piece. All the small gifts too, such great designs. In the back, has some clothing. read more

What a cute store!! So many different products that all look like great quality, from kitchen ware to home goods to clothing and just general knickknacks. The people working here are so friendly too - I bought a hat and gloves and decided to just wear them out since it was chilly and they pulled all the tags off for me while I was paying which I thought was a nice touch. This is a great place to stop by and browse if you're meandering around the area. read more

Lovely decor. Cheerful workers and amazing clothing. Really love coming here whenever i'm in the area. You literally never know what you may find. I found a specific necklace I had been searching for and got a nice colored hat to go with it. Whenever you need quality vintage or to brush up on the little Japanese you know, ( which is what I did :D) this is the place! read more

There stuff is cute but the staff is so rude and they have boxes everywhere. Pretty bad shopping experience from the second you walk in the door. read more

Cool shop, but the prices are absolutely insane. (Sigh, Brooklyn). They had vintage graphic sweatshirts for over $50 (one Packers sweatshirt was over $200!) and this old used Hanes t-shirt was $38. Their non-clothing items were great and fairly priced, but if you are looking for the style of clothes they carry, just go to a Goodwill or Salvation Army Store... read more

Front General Store - Lol what... - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great gem of a store in Dumbo. Wide selection of wares from around the globe, like leather Bohemia slippers from Morocco in an array of colors. Beautiful jewelry including 14k gold necklaces, notebooks, art supplies, clothing. Just go visit! read more

A nice vintage store in DUMBO that I had the chance to stop by today. I do not know why but "Levi's" brand was all over the store, mostly shorts. So the clothing lost my attention fast however they have nice bandanas, 100% cotton and prices are between $6-$25. They also have many glasses. Vintage African glass beads are $20. They have pins, key chain, some hand made toys. I would recommend the store for unique gifts. read more

Random strolling in the Dumbo hood n was pleasantly surprised by this cute little gem! Easy to shop, well organized, friendly staff, good selections of vintage and new and mostly of all very well priced! Will definitely come back for more! Ps. Some of my favorites were the vintage sunglasses/ glasses along with the small leather goods selection. read more

Front General Store - Super cute vintage store with a good selection of customized terrariums - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Possibly the cutest vintage store I've ever been to. They have a very well curated list of Tasche books to Japanese linens, hardware accessories and beautiful silver jewelry. If I were to have any store curate my space it would be this one! read more

Accuses people of stealing instead of checking their cameras! This store should be ashamed of themselves for putting someone in a very uncomfortable situation! Terrible management! Karma always finds its way. read more

Very poor customer service. Would not honor civil service discount. Would not honor 20% discount when the lady behind us gave us a coupon. Also refused to honor a coupon that was 1 day old. Would not recommend this store. Customer service should be crucial when major retailers are closing down and moving to online purchases only. read more

This is such a classic new york (Brooklyn) spot - you can find things from all over, really cool styles and with great personality. This is a spot for high end vintage, and it is cool to explore the selection - it feels like going through a museum. I especially liked the selection of things from different parts of Asia - Japanese porcelain, many things from Hong Kong, jackets as well. It is one of the most interesting and memorable vintage stores I've been to - stop by for an intimate museum shopping experience! The clothes are all well made too. read more

lots of neat things to look at, i loved the trinkets section loses 1 star because they had the AC on with the door wide open

I could live in this store. It's basically a collection of all that I love: modern, vintage, rustic. Eclectic. Antique indigo cloth from Japan, antique army/navy from all over the world, little brass pins and boxes, ceramics, soaps from Japan, vintage wool blankets and rugs from all over, candles from Brooklyn. Some things are reasonably priced, like the ceramics, pins, soaps; many more things are pricey, but I still love it. So does my dog. :) read more

Just happened to pass by this neat store as we were walking from Jane's Carousel and I absolutely love it! Found some cool things to take home for friends in California. How I wish I could bring home a set of the Hasami porcelain. Such beautiful kitchenware! Friendly staff too! read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon, where it was slightly busy. Found this store through the shop list for Hasami Porcelain. I've been looking for a beautifully made, independently crafted mug and I found it through this wonderful company made in Hasami, Nagasaki. Medium mug in slate grey is $30 with tax, but totally worth it. On a side note, I guess this place is good for photographers because there were two people snapping away while I was browsing. Also, there was a beautiful mustard yellow blazer from Hong Kong that I had to stop myself from purchasing. I'd definitely come here again and recommend this gem to anyone visiting Dumbo. read more

quality products and second hand items. The thrifts are overpriced, so much stuff can be found for cheaper elsewhere. but if you got the cash, there are things that are worth it. I got some upstate stock gloves and i wear them all the time! read more

If I could afford it, I would. The whole store is fantastic taste! Vintage bags that look barely used, or has an old flare but looks really cleaned up since. Love the selection! It's mostly costs and winter styles right now, but that makes sense! read more

It was cute inside but honestly who pays $18 for a regular bandana? I can get those at Walmart for $1...I wouldn't recommend it as a tourist stop (as it was recommended to me) just don't waste your time. read more

This store is really amazingly curated and incredibly inviting. It's nearly impossible to walk out without falling in love with a few items. They have an incredible range-- both men and women's clothing, as well as hardware and room decor items. Everything is in great condition, and reasonably priced. Love it! read more

I love this store. Local Brooklyn items, super cool vintage goods, clothing and accessories, and important goods and clothing from Europe and Japan. This store is what retail dreams are made of. read more

Beautiful store. Amazing things. Just too damn expensive. Who are they pricing this stuff for ? Tech titans ? Hedgefunders ? A-list movie stars ? Heirs ? Heiresses ? Richkidsofinstagram ? It's really sad that prices are this high. It's sad. It's outrageous. Kinda unacceptable. But I guess if they're getting those prices then wow. Ok. Good luck. But for the rest of us, this place is just a look and don't buy store. Which means you walk out feeling like shit. read more

Absolute vintage gem in Dumbo! Great selection of Levis shorts and jeans, vintage tshirts, and jewelry. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back and spreading the word about this place. read more

Can you say 'True Vintage'? This establishment have delivered just that from boots to real leather jackets. I can honestly say I just entered a museum of cool clothes that we can actually buy to keep for our collection. I like the spaceman look if I am looking to fly to the moon, but we all should wear real stylish clothes from 70s. Let's get dizzy a bit? I turned around, poof I've seen something for my feet... Spin around again, I saw a bomber jacket I would wear for tomorrow party... Let spin around, shall we?... Oooooooo they have warm blankets too!!! We need these for our cold nights.... I have to turn again, dishes for kitchen too! ... Turn again twice... Why? Just to hug the sales person and asked how they found all these wonderful things. Yelpers, this place is must visit. Request to speak with Hide where he will assist with everything. That is called great customer service. I love this place read more

This store just kinda sucks - not sure how else to say it. First of all the store stinks - literally. Smells like the stinkiest thrift store I've ever been in. It's full of extremely overpriced antiques and crappy thrift store clothing. Also - the employees don't make any attempt to greet you or even just say 'hi' even though the store was awkwardly small and quiet. Don't waste your time. read more

This store has a breathtaking selection of beautiful items. The Japanese store owners have impeccable taste and have spent immense amounts of time and love curating their wares. If you have a love for these types of items, you'll get it and appreciate it. Come on a payday because you're going to want to drop some bills. read more

Out-of-this world amazing vintage Americana and workwear. I can only wish they had a bigger selection of women's items.

Found my absolute favorite pair of Levi's here. They have a huge selection of vintage tee's, jeans, and other gems for men and women. Don't come looking for a deal, everything is really expensive. read more
