Downtown Designs - Shop NY (Near Schenectady)

5 /5 Patricia Greenwood: The most beautiful vintage clothing store this side of Manhattan. One can find an abundance of skillfully restored and displayed womens couture from 1900 to 1980 as well as vintage accessories.

5 /5 Robyn Song: Anyone who is a collector or admirer of vintage apparel knows that the garments can be upwards of half a century old (and often, have been loved by previous owners). The one star review here on Google reviews is not only unfair, it’s inaccurate. As someone who has visited this store several times, I can attest that the garments are in excellent shape and the owner truly cares about them and displaying them beautifully throughout the shop. The garments I tried on were in mint condition and had been well-cared for. The owner is helpful and accomodating, and very knowledgeable and kind. I can’t wait for the store to have a physical reopening so that I may visit again.

5 /5 Dana Moses: Was so excited to stumble on to this store. So well merchandised and filled with lots of great finds. The owner is super nice and so helpful and the dressing rooms were lovely. Found a dress and a pair of shoes from the late 60’s that I know nobody will have. What a find in Schenectady!
