If you are a fan of hunting for unique items and love the feeling of "treasure hunting" in the heart of Saigon, Vintage Hearts is an ultimate hidden gem that you should not miss.
Tucked away in the 26 Ly Tu Trong apartment building—the common home of countless local brands and artistic cafes—this thrift shop carries a very distinct poetic charm. Stepping past the mossy, ancient stone steps of the old apartment building and making your way to the shop, you will immediately feel a small yet extremely cozy space full of aesthetic taste.
A few interesting things that make vintage lovers adore this place:
A treasure trove of super cool curated items: Unlike thrift shops with piles of clothes, the apparel here is carefully selected, freshly laundered, and neatly hung. You can easily find flared chiffon dresses, floral embroidered blouses, or extremely pretty retro-style pieces.
One-of-a-kind accessories: Take a quick stroll and you will instantly fall in love with the trays of vintage jewelry, old leather bags, berets, and classic scarves. Each item is one-of-a-kind, bearing a strong imprint of time.
A nostalgic and chill vibe: The small shop is filled with light, with gentle music playing softly. The female owner is extremely lovely, always ready to advise on how to style your outfit to get the most authentic vintage vibe.
On a leisurely weekend, walking through the time-shaded corridors of the 26 apartment building and dropping by the shop to hunt for a few pretty items is a very effective way to refresh your style and mood.
