My partner and I have been venturing into Hampden recently. Charlotte Elliott was one of our finds…read moreyesterday. It's a great little vintage shop. I was pulled in by the bookstore next door. We spent about an hour in there. There's two levels, where books are well presented and deals featured. You walk through the shelves, and you'll see the different genres featured and bins with sale items clearly marked. The upper floor has poetry, photography, gardening, and cookbooks. The street floor has fiction, science books, and women's literature. These are just the genres that I remember. The other side of the store has antiques and other well curated items for sale. You can tell that the owners take a lot of pride in the presentation of their store. I loved it! I recommend anyone in the area to stop by and check it out.

They sell everything from jewelry to clothing, cards to tchotchkes. It's small but well stocked and curated. I always find something charming when I stop by! A great little neighborhood business.

This store contains so many charming items, from earrings to apparel to stationery, etc! My mom and I popped into this store and I couldn't get enough. The staff members were really welcoming and helpful. Milagro promotes contactless payment (e.g. ApplePay). Everyone in the store was appropriately masked up as well, which allows the browsing experience to be that much more enjoyable. I ended up getting two adorable, perfectly-sized mugs. I'm sure I'll be back again soon to experience the magic that is Milagro. Thanks for a great experience!

The boutiques are so curated and cute, filled with the latest trends and unique brands and goods. The prices are very reasonable, especially at Match Made Stores, with some of the best and most competitive in Hampden. The lady working at Match Made kindly greeted my mom and I and gave us space, while still letting us know she was there to help. This always extremely impacts our shopping experience. The store is small but filled with good finds, and I can't wait to keep shopping here.

This is a shop that can satisfy the needs of the hipster who needs to dress up his retro a little bit, along with young professionals who want some classic flair. Yes, you can wear a tweed jacket over raw-selvedge denim jeans and make it look good. The shop's got a good selection of both new and old, the buying for vintage clothes is done well, and prices are very reasonable. If you wanna class up your act a little bit without breaking the bank, guys - this is a good place to stop. It's a little bit rockabilly, a little bit Mad Men, and a little bit Animal Collective. Enjoy.

I like this place! The selection is really carefully chosen and the interior decorating is pretty…read moregorgeous. Hampden doesn't really have any other mens clothing stores (except thrift shops) so its a great addition to the neighborhood. Think of it like the sister...er..brother store to Double Dutch. Sixteen Tons also carries other man-gifts like wallets, cologne, belts, ties, hats, etc. The clothing can be quite pricey, depending on the item, but I did recently notice a sale bin! It's difficult for me to get my boyfriend to step into an actual store, or buy something vintage ("If its used, should it be cheaper?"), so its best that I come here alone and bring back what he doesn't want. I always end up asking a bunch of questions when I'm here- usually about sizing. When the owner is in the shop, he is warm and super friendly and helpful. There is another employee who always seems annoyed that I have the nerve to ask about an item; I really can't take that type of attitude. Customer service, man! I'm hesitant to dock Sixteen Tons a star because of this one guy's attitude. The owner has true vision and really caters to his clientele. He has helpful tips (more ties coming in next week!), good suggestions (how about a cool vintage belt for the guy who has everything?) and asks the right questions to really try to understand who you're buying for. He should pass these skills on to his employees!

Every time I go in to browse I end up leaving with a pair of earrings (or three). Beth is wonderful and clearly puts so much personality into the store. Zelda Zen is exactly the kind of independent small business that makes Fell's Point special. Whether you're looking for yourself or need to pick up a gift, you'll be able to find something beautiful and unique here. Five stars without hesitation.

Dragged my classmate here on a whim and was greeted by one of the best consignment shops in Towson…read more(,,,maybe even Baltimore?). This shop is the real deal. Premium fur (mink, rabbit, racoon..) and leather chaps at affordable prices. Authentic single stitched vintage shirts, 70's bomber jackets, matrix trenches. You name it, its here. It is a shop full of statement pieces. I think the only downside of this shop is that there is no silver or gold, all jewelry is costume grade. We had the honor of meeting the owner, a traveling musician who had accumulated some of the stock over his journey. His name escapes me, but he also assured me that he wouldn't remember my name so it'd be ok. He was hilarious and I highly recommend chatting him up if you stop by. Try to come here on a weekday between 10am & 4pm, the hours are based on whims but those are the best times.
