Without a doubt the best vintage clothing store in Sarasota! I've been going here for three years…read moreand have acquired countless one of a kind pieces. Canned Ham has a meticulously curated selection of vintage clothing from the 1930s to the 1970s. Their selection of 50s/60s pieces is unparalleled. Usually when you go to a vintage clothing store there's a small selection of actual good merchandise hidden within the vast racks of mediocre pieces. At Canned Ham every piece is a gem. It's clear that lots of time, energy and love went into the store. Which is why I have no problem paying a higher price than some other thrift stores. The prices aren't ridiculous, obviously you aren't going to get a 1950s velvet skirt in pristine condition for $15? I cannot recommend Canned Ham enough, it's truly one of my favorite stores in Sarasota.

A much over due review since its places like this where the encounter was so horrific that to even…read morescratch the surface of how demoralizing and horrific the it actually was , would take a great deal of time which i can't afford to waste on such a low life vintage proprieter , i was visiting florida from Ca, and Popped into Canned Ham to take a quick look , it's been a few years but ill never forget how horribly i was treated , & I'd never go back if she was giving her clothes that people died in away for free!!! Why there aren't more negative reviews is beyond me , after shlepping several heavy bags of items in (everything in the world was telling me not to waste my time , why i didn't listen ? NEVER again when i get a bad feeling ,listen to your gut, it doesn't lie ) this owner acts like she's curing cancer or doing something important , with her pretentious crappy attitude , bragging and bragging about what a great buyer she was , then she ends up buying 1 belt and chiseling me down to nothing while continuing to brag more about herself , what a complete scary narcissist , all full of herself , individuals who do nothing but brag , scare the F out of me , don't they realize it's just used clothes & it doesn't give them any right to treat others so rude and disrespectfully , Well KARMA always serves exactly what these individuals deserve & im sure she loses plenty of business with her crappy attitude and overpriced shmata's , not to mention how classless she is when it come to treating another vintage clothing dealer with some sort of dignity and respect , didn't even have the civilness to help me carry the bags in !!! Hope she's able to fit all her crap in the uhaul behind the hearse when she's leaving this planet since it seems very important to her , what a pathetic owner and an even more pathetic shopping experience !!! And it smelled horrible in the shop like old stale canned ham , what a joke of a shop & joke of an owner ,

Open Wednesday thru Saturday from 10 AM till 5 PM, this vintage (plus) shop is celebrating its 5-yr…read moreanniversary. Currently, there are 27 dealers; proprietor Love opened this business after her husband retired:) And it has thrived ever since. Not a huge antique mall (& w/ perhaps more non-vintage offerings than vintage), there are still good finds here providing vintage furniture is not your priority. Vintage includes the following: mid century modern odds & ends, Retro Kitchen, Rusty Relics, Eclectic, vintage costume jewelry, vintage clothing and accessories, & mid century, small Christmas decor, etc. None vintage categories include Fusion Mineral Paints & Finishes, Nautical & Coastal, Danish Modern, Shabby Chic and Farm House, Cottage, sterling & other artisan jewelry, artisan paintings, linens, glass art & jewelry, & beautifully crocheted clothing, etc. I'm positive I've omitted other offerings, but not intentionally. Mrs. Love, a native of Michigan w/ the accompanying accent, was very friendly as well as helpful. She has many years in the antique/vintage business. This clean & organized shoppe is in a small strip mall & offers plenty of parking. Will we return? It's likely. The shoppe offered far fewer antiques/vintage items than we would have liked to see. However, if we're in the mood to browse an interesting shoppe managed by a very nice woman, we'll definitely stop in again. And we'll bring cash; there's a 3% charge on every debit & credit card purchase. My companion was quite happy to locate a 1960's electrical blow mold Santa face (mint) inside its original box for under $35, & I picked up a pair of sterling baby blue glass earrings, as well as two very nice mid-century ornaments for $3.00 & $5.00. (The Christmas dealer has a year-round room here.) We recommend visiting this interesting shoppe-- who knows what you'll find! Four new dealers will be joining soon...
