The Shoppes act like a big workspace filled with lots of rooms all selling different stuff. They range from vintage small wooden furniture or wooden signs, another room has Vinyl Records, another room had Comic Books, etc. I like bird houses to place in my backyard and Shoppes has a few on their sidewalk display and a small cute one- caught my eye. I used Yelp's 10% Off Check-in offer and we called it a day. Price was decent on the bird house. I really didn't take a look at prices on anything else. But Shoppes has a cool thing going with the different room collections.

As I walked down the main street, I saw a sign out on the sidewalk that said record shop. Being a fan of independent record stores, I've been to over 100. I quickened my pace to enter. When I walked in I was greeted very warmly by the proprietors. The shop is somewhat small but very well organized. I was asked what type of music I like. I said folk rock pop Bluegrass. Sandy the woman behind the counter pointed out the folk section. Phil showed me the new arrival section. He said that if there's anything that I want to listen to in the used section. Just pass it over and I'll be happy to put it on the turntable. There is a very good mix of all types of music: folk, bluegrass, rock, pop, country, soundtracks, jazz. As well as an 80s section. Along with an oddball section.that features, records by John Travolta, Don Johnson, among other oddities. There is also a box of new releases, along with some new releases behind the counter up on the wall. The prices of everything including the new releases, were very good indeed. There are plenty of great records to choose from. I chatted more with the owners of the store, about collecting used records, the market today for new and used vinyl and the joy of listening to records on a real hi-fi system versus the poor sound MP3 files. I've been to many many record stores as I said. But I'd have to say, Sandy and Phil were the friendliest and most helpful proprietors, of a record shop,that I have encountered in my travels. I picked up Chubby Checkers folk album quite a rare find.As well as a couple of folk albums, one from Eric darling the other artist TomScott. As well as Bob Dylan's brand-new album- Shadows In The Night, The store has been open for about nine months as of January 2015. My time in the store was fantastic. Both Sandy and Phil made my experience at the stores very special. . I'll be sure to return often, to pick up many more vinyl records to add to my vast collection. The store is definitely worth a trip from anywhere in the Hudson Valley

Absolutely zero weirdness or attitude like in lesser record shops. Make sure you call ahead or text before coming.

I lived in Connecticut for many years when I was younger but that was before The Archive was a shop…read moreand it's a place I've been wanting to hit up for years. I recently got into collecting Criterion releases and thanks to some open time, I was able to head out to Bridgeport on a recent trip out east and finally give this place a shot. From the moment you walk into The Archive you are completely surrounded by Blu rays, DVDs, 4Ks, VHS tapes, and every single thing that could possibly exist next to them. This place has every inch of the walls decorated, every shelf is full of movies, and all three rooms are slam packed with cool stuff. I spent probably an hour talking movies with the staff, digging through all the different sections, and it took a whole lot of restraint to not leave with 30+ movies (can't really fit that on a plane). Due to space restrictions for the flight home, I was only able to pick one thing up but Days of Heaven is safely at home in LA now and a proud member of the collection. Overall, The Archive is definitely one of the best stores the nutmeg state has to offer. The decorations were cool, the movie selection was absolutely unbeatable, the staff was knowledgeable, and it was definitely one of the best movie hunting experiences I've had in many, many years.

The Archive is a physical media retail store that opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut in June 2017…read more It was founded by friends and business partners Brandon Upson, James Neurath, Ryan Emerson and Ralph Stevens. The shop is the brick & mortar division of Vinegar Syndrome: a film restoration and distribution company that specializes in protecting and preserving genre films (mainly produced between the 1960s and 1980s). The company was founded in 2012 by Emerson and business partner Joe Rubin and named for the acidic smell of deteriorating film. It is considered a boutique Blu-ray label and to date has released well over 800 titles on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD. The Archive is dedicated to selling movies and music in a wide variety of physical media formats. Consumers will find all sorts of new and used titles available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, VHS, Betamax, Laserdisc, Vinyl, CD, and Cassette tape. A second location opened in Aurora (CO) in October 2022 and a third (named 'Vinegar Syndrome') opened in Toronto (ON) in October 2023. I've been doing business with the Archive for a number of years now. I'm a huge fan of collecting physical media. Although streaming media seems to be the way to go now, streaming services are only as good as your internet connection, the quality is too compressed and titles are disappearing all the time. I like having an actual vinyl record or 4K disc in my hands. Physical formats are also usually loaded with all sorts of liner notes, posters and bonus features that you won't get with streaming services. I try to stop at the shop every few months or so. While I sometimes leave empty handed, other times I leave with some great finds. They often carry great film releases from labels like Arrow Video, Blue Underground, The Criterion Collection, Severin Films, Shout! Factory, and of course Vinegar Syndrome. At times, the shop will even get a limited amount of new releases weeks before they are available on Amazon. If you're a fan of physical media then you need to get to the Archive right away!

Coolest vintage shop in the area!…read more Accidentally bumped into this quaint little shop after driving so many times past here! We decided it was time to just go in. Very deceiving since it seems like a tiny spot but it's actually pretty big with very reasonable pricing and amazing vintage stuff. They even have a small selection of vintage clothing. Cool ceiling lamps, vinyls, cd's, you name it. Awesome staff and things that are very well kept and funky while still super reasonable. Can't wait to come back and hunt for some cool finds. Definitely one of the coolest vintage/thrift shops in the area!

If you are interested in cool, novelty antiques, vintage jewelry, jeans and t-shirts, vinyl in excellent condition, and antique housewares, RUN-don't walk- to Vintage Shop Carmel. The prices aren't low, but they're fair. Similar items selling on Poshmark and eBay and other such sites are going for double and sometimes triple the prices that they are asking for. They are extremely knowledgeable in their vocation. They know what they're doing and they know the proper price point. They also offer really cool and unique up-cycled products. I urge you to go check out the up-cycled vintage 80s jeans. Vintage Shop Carmel is also a consignment shop so if you yourself are looking to sell vintage or antique goods, including clothing and purses at a great price, they're the ones for you. Last, but not least the ladies who own and work at the shop are absolutely positively incredible. Not only are they knowledgeable, but they are funny. They are kind. They are down to earth and they are helpful. I have a lot of experience with vintage shops and consignment shops, and I have always felt slightly uncomfortable and out of place. However, at this shop, I felt totally at ease and like I belonged. I highly recommend at least going in and checking it out. You'll thank me!
