Great place with a friendly owner who has the cutest little dog. Lots of clothing items are available in this shop as well! Like the owner has responded to everyone's comments, this place is not a run of the mill thrift shop, but rather a vintage boutique so things aren't going to be at a thrift shop price and that is okay. I personally couldn't fork out money for any of the vintage pieces, but I did buy a cute pair of vintage inspired sunglasses from here for about $20 if I remember the price correctly. At the least, give the store a try to see if there's anything you want to buy. It's fun to look around and see all the celebrities that the owner has pictures with on the walls. read more

Hamlet's Vintage - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - New York, New York

This is not a "thrift store." It is a vintage shop -- one of the best-curated I've ever seen. It is not a place to get bargains, but it does have an incredible selection of amazing pieces -- and great value, if you're careful. On a recent trip I scored an incredible sequined evening jacket, still new with tags, for $175. Was it cheap? No. But it was a good deal for the quality. Not every item was -- I tried on a worn, stained sweater set priced at $199 -- but my goodness, the overall selection had fabulous style and I will absolutely be back the next time I am in the area. read more

Awesome thrift, but way too expensive. Amazing finds tho. But everything was $60+. Not what I'm trying to spend when thrifting. But I can appreciate the contents and the quality. Really high. The owner was chatty with guests and you can tell he really loves to do this. read more

Beautiful and classic designer thrift with an exceptional store owner who was very helpful in showing us some amazing fashion! I will definitely be back! read more

I had spent a lot of time planning out what vintage stores to see when I visited NYC, but nothing panned out. When my partner and I decided to visit Greenwich Village, I took a look around to see if there were any vintage stores, and lo and behold, I found this gem. The selection was AMAZING. It was shocking to find that a lot of the vintage dresses were sized above an 8. Nearly everything I picked out fit me (a size 12ish), which is a genuine rarity in a vintage store. The owner had the cutest dog and was incredibly kind and helpful trying to find my partner some shirts and pants. I don't expect a genuine vintage store to be "cheap", you can go to Goodwill or other places if you want to find pieces being sold for the pennies. But it's also not incredibly expensive. My dresses ranged from 90-120$, and the two piece Victorian style set was $200. To me, that's an incredible steal for the quality of pieces you're getting. I can't stop raving about this store and the next time I visit NYC I can't wait to visit again. read more

Love the store! Love the employee! Love the other shoppers! It was truly fun with other shoppers interacting and giving compliments. Love my new vintage coat, cannot wait until cold weather so i can wear it! Was a very fun experience! Will definitely return. 10 stars! read more

Really cute store. Very nice attentive owners but as he stated it's not a thrift store. The prices seem quite up there. If you are out thrifting I'd say miss this one. If you are more after vintage pieces and are up for putting down some cash then by all Means you may find a thing or two. read more

I love this store- this owner is kind and attentive, his dog is adorable, and I can tell he really put thought into the pieces he collects. HOWEVER- some of the prices I disagree with. There are many items I saw were the prices were justified- custom jackets, designer clothes- those I can understand. But some of the prices were ridiculous for a vintage store. $150 for a beautiful vintage dress. I could understand $80 or so but $160? I find that a bit ridiculous. If I had more money, I would go to this place every day and just wipe the whole place out clean. But for regular thrifters like myself, this isn't really the place to go. read more

This place is the bomb!!! An extremely carefully curated selection of vintage items. The owner takes an incredible amount of pride in his shop and offers a mind boggling selection of true vintage clothing and accessories for men and women going as far back as the 1920's. There are also some new items that are one of a kind and just exquisite. The price point can be high, but any item bought at Hamlet's is truly one of a kind. There are a lot of vintage stores in the city. I always believe the quality of this kind of store depends on the eye of the buyer(s). Hamlet has a fine and discriminatory eye. If you are searching for a few special pieces to elevate your wardrobe, definitely check this place out! read more

My feelings on this store are mixed. While it is definitely filled to the brim with vintage clothing and accessories, it is indeed VERY expensive. Not the place to go to if you're looking for a bargain, but a good stop if you're looking for something unique. read more

I only had a couple days left of New York but based on word of mouth and reviews, I knew I HAD to come in here at least once to check it out. I'm so glad I did. I went twice in one day but each time, I spent hours looking around the place 10+ times because...it be like that. lol I love A LOT of things in here....but my wallet hates it. Everyone was super nice, including Hamlet. I knew I will regret it if I left without buying anything. My wallet can hate me all he wants...I don't care. read more

I found this via Yelp knowing that it would probably be too expensive for me to buy anything. I just wanted to walk in and see what the place had, and man I am glad I did. The staff was super friendly and probably caught on to the fact that I was just window shopping. There were some spectacular vintage pieces and honestly if I wasn't so broke I could have made a sizable dent. It's pretty clear that everything is thoughtfully priced and was not unfair for the most part. I would recommend stopping in! read more

I found the prices to be way too high and the quality too low. I was not impressed, and I won't be back.

The best curated vintage shop in the city. They have all price range and a vast variety of clothing and other products. Fantastic job!

A recent Saturday was windier than expected, making us wish we'd worn just one more layer. So my husband grabbed an Italian army jacket for $20 (They also had a beadazzled Syracuse sweatshirt, but I passed). The army jackets were great - some of them had Italian nametags, and some were ripped (Like they'd been through a real war!). My husband spent the rest of the day warmer and more comfortable (if slightly fascist-looking). Best part of the store, though, was its adorable canine mascot, who let us pet his tummy and totally made our day (See photo). read more

Hamlet was awesome! He knew exactly what would look good on my daughter and helped her pick out a couple of great pairs of vintage pants. Can't wait to go back! read more

I discovered this store almost 2 years ago and I am hooked. Hamlet has great taste and has nothing but the absolute best in his store. There's something for everyone from leather jackets to gorgeous evening gowns, furs, vintage costume jewelry, etc. Hamlet's Vintage is a must for any New Yorker or visitor read more

Really gorgeous stuff but incredibly expensive perfect place if you're happy to spend quite a bit definitely not affordable

Can't say I was a fan. Way too cluttered and hard to find anything. You take one thing off the rack you have to worry about knocking whatever is around it off. Can't say anything appealed to me (was looking for a cute dress). Worker had a bit of an attitude when I asked him where something was. read more

On the one hand, the have a great selection of boots and seasonal thrift clothes but on the other hand it is WAY overpriced for the quality. These are secondhand clothes...a t-shirt dress should not cost $50 it should cost $5. And where does that 100% profit go? To a homeless shelter? To a charity? Nope, into Hamlet's big 'ol pockets. I've walked in this store and out again 2 minutes later so many times, I don't even know why I bother. If and I mean IF I find something that smells mothy but is still cute, I don't want to shell over the same amount I could be paying for the same item new. I'd also like to note that they do not carry vintage designer duds, think more along the lines of 1995 Gap and the Limited. If you want to spend on vintage go to Tokio 7 and shell out for the real stuff...or on the other hand scoop up cheapo secondhand at the Goodwill. Gone are the days of being lured in by $30 "sale" racks on the street, Hamlet! read more

Hamlet is very nice and friendly store owner. He couldn't exactly help me find any shorts because he hasn't exactly moved everything in the new store but he found me a really cool, vintage military field uniform. I wasn't really looking for a military jacket since spring was arriving, but every now and then there's cold spring. At first he picked out a lot of old german uniforms and I wasn't very impressed. He insisted on me trying his recommendations and on his last recommendation, I finally found something awesome. I've always wanted a military jacket in the corner of my mind and this one impressed. It was an old french uniform from the 80s apparently and the fit was just perfect from top to bottom, chest and arms. I speculated a lot of his other clothing he had to offer and I can definitely say you might find something awesome suitable to be vintage like a denim jacket, graphic t-shirt. You can definitely be surprised because Hamlet has a good taste of vintage. read more

Amazing place!!! Good vintage clothes. Every time I stop by I find something that suits me ;) And great hospitality! read more

A new york city institution. I've been to several of their locations. I've found great deals on designer stuff, the most crazy bizarre dresses for those special costume parties. The staff is amazing. So helpful. Reasonably priced for New York City. Go! read more

My all-time favorite vintage shop in New York! Such a fun and beautiful space. Hamlet himself treats everyone with respect and is so friendly and knowledgeable about the clothes. read more

Hamlet's Vintage - Love this! - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - New York, New York

Always been an enthusiast for anything vintage, I spotted this place after wandering around after work. I first walked in and the two store owners didn't even acknowledge me. This put a bad taste in my mouth. After getting over that I decided to go through the women's selections. Decent stuff, but overpriced. I was there for over 15 minutes and still was not addressed even after picking out a dress and showing interest in it. No help was being offered by the two gentlemen who seemed more concerned with Facebook than they did their customers. They could've definitely sold me for this $75 dress too. Unfortunately, they lost a sale. I won't be coming back here. read more

Good Good Good! This place wasn't even on the list of where i wanted to go but I'm so glad i went here! The clothes are unique and actual VINTGE! I can't say that the price is low (The skirts are about $58) but if you go when they have sale this is the perfect place to go!! THIS PLACE IS A MUST! read more

Came to this place twice. First time by myself and second time with a friend. Both end up having my hands full of shopping bags. Wonderful selection for both men and women's clothes. They have dresses and sweaters that can be worn on daily basis and full length dress that can totally make you shine at a cocktail party. The owner can make awesome suggestions on items that may work for you without being pushy. I feel like coming back to this place occasionally to just check out what they have. read more

this place was super cute! loved the big selection. the owner was very nice. i also loved the wall of fame :). the prices are a bit high for me though. i would probably return in the future. read more

I went to the new store today and was blown away by how much bigger it is compared to the shop on Bleecker St. He also branched out into home goods which took me by surprise. I bought a vintage rug and a candle holder, I think I got the deal of the century. Good luck in the new location and I will be back soon to see what new things you get in. The store was set up with a lot of thought, we really enjoyed it and the little dog was super sweet. read more

This place does have a killer wall of shoes, an impressive wall o' vintage boots. I just wish I wish that one pair of black ones fit me... Other than that the clothes were a bore... If you need a pair of boots.. Go here before you go anywhere else read more

Cute store, well organized, some really cute finds (mostly dresses and boots on the day I went in) but wow...um..no! The prices are just absolutely insane! We've all come to expect that in the city nowadays but come on..I won't stand for it. The prices are that way because people are paying them! I remember finding vintage clothes for 50 cents back in the day! Or at least Salvation Army is still somewhat reasonable. I looked at a cute thin little sundress they wanted 89.00!! F that! I'll buy a whole new outfit for that price. I saw that tag and walked out. Your money's better saved. read more

Hello there, Hamlet's sale rack. Are you doing as well as I am? Well yes, I see that you are. I'll admit the non-sale rack items are too expensive for me, but it doesn't even matter because the sale rack is pretty damn good. I must have tried on half of that rack and had a ton of trouble deciding because I liked it all so much. Hamlet also suggested accessories for me and pretty much put together my entire outfit (which I bought). The skirts were also very nice and there is a good belt and shoe selection. Even if it's marginally busy, there will be someone in the fitting room, of which I think there's only one. So trying things on with other people in the store is a little awkward, especially if you have multiple items. I can't wait for Spring! Dresses, skirts, shoes that aren't boots, here we come! read more

I've been in a few times and have never bought anything, primarily because none of the things I like there ever end up actually fitting me. Overall, it's a great store with both a great men's selection and women's selection (the men's selection is bigger than the woman's selection, I've found). The dresses are of unique styles that you can't really find anywhere else; lots of bright colors that I really wish did fit me because they're so cute. They also have a pretty generous sale section. I find that a lot of the merchandise is more on the trendy end than it is on the vintage end. There's also a lot of "[later decade] does [earlier decade]" (ex, 80s does 40s, 70s does 30s, etc); there's also a lot of merch that's like contemporary vintage remakes, as well. All of this is fine if that's what you're looking for, but when I pay top dollar for a vintage dress, I want the dress to actually be from the time period it's supposed to look like. read more

Love Hamlet's Vintage for the amazing shoes, accessories, and unique clothing! I bought some really cool leather boots here a few years ago and still own! read more

Too expensive for used clothing. I had to get a pair of shoes though, because they were just to good to pass, though again... so expensive. My boyfriend got to old, raggy tee-shirts for 25 bucks to my dismay. He was saying "Oh, no one will have this". My boyfriend is a hipster want-to-be. I didn't bother looking through the dresses. I'm a size 12, so I figured no use. read more

They had a lot of cute dresses that are supposedly vintage. Granted, they are old, but just because they are old does not mean they are worth $75. However, you'd spend more than $75 at Anthropologie for a dress that looks sort of similar. Really, $75 isn't absurd to spend on a cute, original, dress that fits. However, if you have the patience to look through a generic thrift store..or go to a garage sale...or go to Buffalo Exchange, you could probably find similar dresses for less than $25. read more

I'm usually pretty down on Vintage stores in the City. I mean, I don't like shopping for used clothing at regular retail prices. Nor do I think it's appropriate for someone else to do the digging for me...finding that priceless little thing, under that huge weird thing, is what Vintage shopping is all about. So, when I discovered Hamlet's Vintage, my mind was closed, but my eyes were open. The prices are great, the clothing is packed in but orderly, and the SHOES...oh the SHOES. In my humble opinion ,they have the greatest selection of well priced Vintage boots I've ever seen. And they even have a great selection in size 9 and up. THAT'S HUGE! NO pun intended. Check it out, I promise you'll find something. And make friends with the owner, he will hook you up with great styles, and let you know when shipments come in. read more
