Occasionally, I like to pop out with something zesty. The trick with vintage is that you need to…read morewear exactly one vintage item per outfit, and that's it. A blouse, a piece of jewelry, a jacket, a belt. Less is more with vintage. I have a small collection of vintage things, but I'm always on the lookout for that one strange, unique piece to elevate my shiz. Route 46 Vintage is such a place to find cool vintage clothing and wearable things to add to your wardrobe. Route 46 Vintage is the sister store to Brown County Antique Mall. This store and another one are all located on the same grounds as the antique mall, and they are one big, happy family. Route 46 houses all of the clothes and accessories. You'll find vintage tees, skirts, dresses, hats, jewelry and lots more. You will also find handmade items and upcycled fashion -- old things remade to be new things. There are lots of things to look at here. The clothing at Route 46 Vintage is well curated. No moth-ball-smelling coats or stained shirts here! Just lots of cool old things.

Route 46 Vintage is one of those places you stumble into and immediately feel glad you did. It's…read morethoughtfully curated, not cluttered, with a great mix of vintage finds, antiques, and genuinely interesting pieces you won't see everywhere else. You can tell a lot of care goes into selecting what's on the floor--this isn't a "junk shop," it's a place for people who appreciate quality, character, and stories. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, not pretentious. Whether you're a serious collector or just browsing on a weekend drive through Nashville/Brown County, it's easy to spend more time here than you planned. I've found everything from unique home pieces to gifts that actually feel meaningful (and not mass-produced). If you enjoy vintage with soul, local flavor, and a personal touch, Route 46 Vintage is absolutely worth the stop. One of my favorite shops in the area.

Should you think a clearance rack might be useful, I looked today, in November 2023, and 100% of the items were in the wrong place or clearly mislabeled, which is maybe why they're on clearance. You can find deals, but hunting for them is worse than a bad Goodwill store. Check the merchandise carefully for defects. Check the size labels on the apparel itself to insure you're getting the right gear/item you thought you were buying. Even Ross does better than this. If you have idle time, give it a shot, but you may get really frustrated at the inattention to detail. Otherwise, avoid this location.

This was my first time in Vintage Rose. I climbed the decorated staircase to the entrance which…read morewas also decorated with seasonal items. Inside there are two aisles the go toward the back where the employee was sitting at a desk. I then noticed another small staircase on the left that led to another room full of antiques, home items, and vintage hats. It seems like a nice shop, but didn't have anything that caught my eye. Not much new here, but they do carry a line of candles. Note 1: This is yet another Nashville shop that doesn't like visitors taking photos for some reason. I didn't know that at first until I found a small sign in the upstairs room. I did notice a sign at the front door on my way out but it was mostly hidden by the outdoor decorations. Seems like a loss of free advertising to not allow photos. Note 2: Although this address is not listed on the upcoming mass property auction (end of Oct '19), I heard on two occasions that the property was for sale and that the businesses were being forced to vacate soon. If true, I hope the business is treated fairly by the owners. Review #3238

I recently went to the east side Goodwill for the first time in a long time. Now that I have a kid,…read moreI have more reason to go there to find clothes she'll only be able to wear for a year. On this trip we found some fun things she liked, and I found a shirt for myself. If you don't know the layout, it's fairly confusing. It's not that it doesn't make sense, it's more the lack of signage. After perusing the small selection of furniture, we went to girls clothes. I thought it was strange that there were no tops, only skirts and pants. When I asked an employee, it sounded like where were was the area for those sizes of clothes. A little wandering proved me wrong! Tops and dresses are in a different row! I noticed there are two bathrooms and no changing room. When I asked the same employee, I was brusquely told that there was a 2 week (I think) return window with a receipt if the tags were still attached. In other words, no. They don't have a fitting room. This is where I again want to point out that Goodwill gets their stuff for FREE. I'm assuming they don't want people to steal the things Goodwill gets for free. The answer is to generally deal with it and not punish good honest customers because you're afraid someone is going to walk out with a $4 shirt. I guess the pros right now are that the store is more clean and orderly than I remember. I think the cons are that it still seems like a place where you simply take your chances when you buy something. Maybe it fits. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it works. Maybe it doesn't. I'm pretty sure they don't test any of it. Clearly, it offers cheap clothes and other stuff. Just be prepared to use the bathroom if you have to try something on.

Josh D was excellent and exactly what I needed. I was in Bloomington for a wedding when I realized…read morethat I had forgotten my suit pants in another state hanging on another hanger. Josh asked me a simple question of when I needed the new suit to be ready and my response was "in 10 minutes".

Buying a suit should not be an ordeal and Josh made it very easy to walk in and walk out with exactly what I wanted.

What makes them different from other stores and boutiques is that they pride themselves in the fact that they offer all their clothing pieces in sizes Small to 3X! That is definitely not something you can find at any other clothing store or boutique. They think girlfriends should be able to shop together no matter what their sizes are!! What a forward thinking idea!?! I love their concept and can't wait to stop by with my girlfriends in tow. They are always getting new inventory, making them an addictive stop when out downtown. They are a great place to find a fun and unique gift for your friend, family member or coworker. They sell beautiful and unique jewelry pieces as well as cruelty free bath and body products. They are definitely a place you will want to check out. You can also shop online if you want. The staff is very nice and helpful, shopping there is fun and enjoyable.

You can dream about baking in the kitchen as you scan the damask style cabinet knobs or the plethora of different metal cookie cutters. Or you can envision a new sewing project as you embrace the little luxury of an artisan style pin cushion. I will be returning to finish up my Christmas shopping!
