I travel to New Orleans a couple times a year for parades. on each visit, I make sure to visit Vintage 329 and my favorite shop girl, Bridget! I don't necessarily go for the largest selection of vintage Gucci and Chanel jewelry. I go because there are so many wonderful unique pieces. I always find something to fit my fancy! read more

Very Over priced selection of designer costume jewelry. A simple google search will lead to finding the same items at 1/4 the price. Lots of nice mid century barware if that is your thing. read more

Vintage 329 offers a beautiful selection of items, including an impressive collection of Chanel costume jewelry. The staff, especially Ashley, were friendly, professional, and responsive, even following up on an item that was promised after my visit. That said, my advice to future shoppers is simple: research before you buy. Chanel costume jewelry carries a premium because of the brand, but it is still costume jewelry and often does not contain precious stones or metals. I learned too late that some of the pieces I purchased were priced at more than double their market value. To be fair, I take responsibility for not taking a moment to compare prices online before making my purchase. The sales experience was persuasive, and I was led to believe I was receiving a significant discount. In hindsight, a quick search on my phone would have provided valuable perspective. This is not a reason to avoid shopping at Vintage 329. The merchandise is unique, stylish, and fun, and the staff were genuinely pleasant to work with. However, buyer beware: take a few minutes to research the item, understand its current market value, and make an informed purchasing decision. Doing so can help you avoid overpaying and ensure you feel confident about your purchase. read more

Vintage 329 - If you're into Channel this is the place to go. So many beautiful pieces. Earrings, necklaces. Bracelets. - Art Galleries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I love to pop into this store and soak in all the vintage barware, designer handbags and Parisian posters. I'm a big fan of vintage cocktail culture, so their Culver glassware in the window was an immediate draw. They have the most beautiful cocktail sets available for purchase, most in near mint condition. I think of all the different themed parties and soiree's I could throw, sipping elegantly from a gold leaf emblazoned high ball glass. Or take a moment to appreciate the glass case of vintage alligator bags...imagine draping one over your arm and making that grand entrance. So many treasures in this store that those that appreciate the craftsmanship and work of a bygone era will enjoy! read more

Vintage 329 has one-of-a-kind autographed memorabilia with something for everyone. Whether you like historic or rare antique items like antique weaponry to autographed items from the sports and entertainment world, this store has it. They have lots of autographed pictures and posters from some of your favorite celebrities. They also have a bunch of autographed guitars from people like B.B. King, Aerosmith, Eric Clapton, ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, U2, and many others. The guitars range from around $6k-10k. I stopped in this week to see if they had an autographed team Saints helmet from the SB season but unfortunately they didn't. They had an autographed Drew Brees helmet for $900 (um no thanks). I want an electric guitar from here so bad (hint, hint) =D Very cool stuff here but pretty expensive! read more

Vintage 329 is one of the coolest stores I've ever been into. It's a memorabilia shop that plays to literally any type of audience. They've got great antique-esk stuff that is a la pawn stars w/ gradings from Sean the expert arms gentleman, all the way to golf balls signed by the last 8 Presidents. Music memorabilia is abundant, but so are increbidly ecclectic and unique items like a gun from Butch Cassidy that was won in a poker gave in Alaska. Really cool shop with high end stuff all the way down to signed records. A great place to stop into and check out. read more

When visiting New Orleans over the past 20 years, my husband and I would always visit Vintage 329. They carried old autographed record albums, sports memorabilia, and other collectibles. We've made several purchases and have always enjoyed the store and the folks who worked there. We went there today, only to find it is now exclusively a jewelry store. When we asked the woman about the albums and such, she first looked at us like we were from the moon and had no idea what we were talking about. When we asked again, she said they were no longer in that business. She could not have been more rude or dismissive. Because the store kept the same name, our question shouldn't be unusual or unexpected. On the basis of that 20 second experience today, I would recommend against shopping at Vintage 329. There are loads of really nice people in New Orleans, and we'll spend our money with them. read more

Vintage Cocktail ring from the 1950's $100 even. That's what was in my notes of this place, but totally sums it all up. Walked in thinking I wouldn't be able to afford a thing. But really, out of some of the vintage stores I visited, this had a wife range of merch and prices. Oh, the jewelry. Pretty amazing pieces that won't break the bank. Honestly surprisingly priced fairly. That's why I got a deal on the beautiful cocktail ring I now own! Talked the girl down so that I felt comfortable with the price. Now I have a piece that's beautiful and il remember getting in NOLA forever' read more

This place has the fakest Chanel jewelry I have ever seen! I am honestly not sure how they get away with this! Prices are higher than most vintage authenticated online. I feel bad for customers who do not realize the scam they are pushing here. Loads of tacky huge gold pieces....that is not typical Chanel although I am not a vintage expert. If a person/business can not give you authentication then run away! Spend your money on the real thing with paperwork to prove it! When I asked if it was authenticated they would not give me a direct answer....buyers beware! read more

Royal Street is renowned for its upscale antique stores. It was rather refreshing to find this more "down-to-Earth" shop. In this store, they offer a variety of memorabilia from musicians, sports figures, and movie stars. They have autographs, autographed items, including a number of musical instruments and albums, and they even have a markdown bin. Anyone who wants to get started collecting can find something here to start a collection with. Anyone wishing to add to a collection can surely find plenty worth collecting here. And, anyone who is just curious about history and memorabilia is completely welcome to walk around, and enjoy the view. If you like vinyl, they have some great vinyl for sale here that is difficult to find anywhere else. Enjoy. read more

I purchased four autographed Beatles-related items from Vintage 329 in December 2011. To my complete surprise, 0 of the 4 passed authentication by the well-renowned PSA/DNA Authentication Services group based in California. I have since contacted the gallery director, Carly Brown, but have yet to receive a response. Addendum: I was subsequently offered a refund by Vintage 329. While I was disappointed with the purchased product, they did stand behind their guarantee. read more

The selection of memorabilia they had was quite spectacular. Too bad the people working there were not. I took a photo and the lady gave me a lot of attitude. I took a photo of something so I could send it to someone that would have paid for it. Cost $5000.00 ) read more

Did not feel welcome at all. Although greeted when I walked in, not one of the three saleswomen could break away from their conversation to ask if needed help. Maybe it was the way I was dressed, they thought I wasn't a serious customer; but they definitely lost a sale. Even though I lingered at one of the display cases looking intently at the Momento Mori pieces I wished to buy, I was totally ignored. If they weren't willing to offer help, I wasn't going to ask. read more

Walking up Royal and came to Vintage 329. Was taken with the unique and large selection of vintage shakers, glasses and drinking accessories. Walked in and found a lovely lady named Jamie who helped me out. Made a great purchase and plan to go back and look around some more, as they had some amazing artifacts from film and TV as well. Make sure you check out the items from The Godfather, fantastic! read more

All three shop keepers were too busy ordering their lunch to help me when I stopped in to purchase a Miriam Haskell piece I saw earlier in the week. I caught the attention of one but she turned away as I began to speak. Sad as we were the only people in the shop. read more

I was there a few months back looking for a vintage Chanel ring. They didn't have it but bought two other cocktail rings that make me happy! The women working there were super helpful! Everyone should stop by if they are looking for unique pieces. Hope they might let me know if they come across the double C gold ring! read more

An update..never heard from the BBB either with complaint filed. Such businesses should not be allowed to sell such merchandise with a COA filled out with a family member who has retired, Then move next door with the same family owning the business then not even caring that they still essentially ripped you off. Again..buyer beware with this company. All that glitters is not gold, Basically was to told "too bad" by employees working there. read more

Had a fantastic time at this store full of treasures!!! Very eclectic, but full of some amazing pieces that you won't be able leave the store without. I found the most gorgeous vintage rhinestone bracelet for an amazingly fair price! So rare in the Quarter. They definitely want to help you find something you're going to love. Skip all the overpriced shops and buy from a real local hidden gem, All the employees know about everything in the shop and can really find you some thing special whether you are a local or a tourist. read more

At age 53, this was my first trip ever to New Orleans. WOW! I fell in love and it was quite overwhelming to know which stores to shop. So much choice! My strategy was to make the rounds and at the end go back to what I liked most. HOWEVER, the New Orleans spirits had something else in mind for me! Third store in on Royal Street was Vintage 329. I tried on a cool vintage ring and said to "Jamie" the lovely young woman who was helping me: "Love it, but need to look at other stores first. See you later maybe?" Then a pair of earrings caught my eye. She pulled them out. We started talking about history and then I saw a necklace I just had to try on - and from that point on I was HOOKED! We had so much FUN "playing." We chatted it up about the various histories of vintage jewelry in the store; I tried lots of things on (even a tiara); I walked around the store and admired myself in the mirror with various pieces; Jamie gave me awesome feedback and helped me decide which pieces suited me most. It was an all around BLAST!!! I loved reveling in the awesome vintage jewelry and imagining who made it and who wore it before me. I delighted in the time spent with Jamie. It was all so playful, uplifting. fun AND educational! Can you believe I purchased SEVEN gorgeous, amazing, pieces (including the tiara) AND Jamie gave me a special magical gift to boot. Oh, and Jamie also prepared historic write-ups for each piece including a vintage advertisement that a brooch I purchased was featured in. Sooooo happy :) read more
