Raleigh vintage clothing and accessories store…

If you like eclectic contemporary and vintage clothing, Anthropologie could be your place. The one in the Raleigh area at the outdoor section of Southpoint opened this past spring. When you first enter, you kinda get the sense that you’re in a very big store that winds around. It’s the type of place that is visually stimulating to browse and shop around at. For some reason I always start on the left hand side…

It feels like you’re walking around tree branches. It reminds of when Banana Republic first opened its doors in the late eighties and they had this really different jungle theme with all kinds of outdoor jungle props. Back then, that was waaay different and perhaps what helped lead them to their success.

Here’s a photo of a Banana Republic purse I purchased back in the day. I like to keep my own vintage stuff in case you haven’t noticed .

At Anthropologie, I think their clothing is very girly. There’s a lot of frills and braids and all kinds of detailing. One of my Anthropologie sweater wraps has what looks like hackey sack balls all around it. These fine details weigh down the sweater to give it some additional wavy curves. I think it’s called the Octopus sweater and that’s what I call it anyway ‘cause that’s what it looks like a little bit. I like their unique stuff with details.

They use nice materials like wool and nice cotton but the clothing I’ve owned is delicate. You’re better off handwashing with Woolite and still you have to be careful the fine threads in the clothes. I put all mine in clear plastic bags to preserve them better.

They also sell perfumes, soaps, jewelry, tapestry, pillows, furniture, door knobs, kitchenware, books, and stuff you would find and new neat stuff you’d kinda find at a yard sale.

And speaking of sales…there’s a sale area in the back that you don’t wanna miss! Their dressing rooms are kinda cool. They write your name with a special pen on the mirror.
