Our Etsy store’s selection is a little different from our brick and mortar store…

Upscale Garments and Accessories/Jewelry

At Nitty Gritty we believe that shopping the past should be widely accessible to anyone walking through our doors. We want to be there for the intense vintage clothing devotees and to curious shoppers who just want fun well-made garments at reasonable prices.

We work hard to provide a well-curated collection of vintage clothing and accessories spanning many decades, styles, and price points.

We have a LOT of higher-end clothing, but if we made it the focus of our physical store it would mean less room for more affordable items. It would make our overall selection less approachable… and that’s not what we’re about.

That’s why higher-end items are in our Etsy store.

Delicate Garments

The truth is that some older garments require special care. They can’t just be hung up on a rack in the store (often they’re better stored flat to reduce stress on seams) to be tried on by many people.

That’s no knock on our customers. Not everyone is going to be aware of the ways some items might be more fragile than others. That’s why you’ll find those garments in our Etsy!

Children’s Clothing

We’ve got a lot of groovy children’s clothing. It’s neither high-end OR delicate, but there simply isn’t much of a demand for it at the store. For years the kid’s section wandered from section to section of the store, waiting for that once-every-few-months shopper.

Now it’s in our Etsy store.

And more…

We’re always trying to figure out the best way to get our selection of vintage magazines, dolls, and barware (among other items that fall outside the realm of clothing and accessories) to customers who’ll love them. Check in from time to time to see what else is going online!
