This maze of a store is A-mazing....ok, bad joke...but seriously, it truly is amazing to see how much vintage home goods and clothing they fit into the space without making it feel too cramped or crowded. Be sure to see all the rooms and both floors. Bag check required upon entering. read more

Love this place!!! There is so much to choose from and you can get lost in all the unique items and accidentally spend more than you intended, but it is worth it read more

Flower Child - I love this vintage wallet I picked up from Flower Child! I could shop for hours in here! - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Best vintage store in Columbus! New location has two floors and an amazing layout. So much cool stuff. Much easier to shop now.

Wow. As a New Yorker, I feel all the stores by me are so picked over. This was like a vintage fever dream sent by angels. Beautifully curated and decorated, there is no junk here. Just lots of gasps and squeaks as my vintage heart went all aflutter. My wallet is empty but my home and closets are happy. And I still get to come back to pick up an item that the proprietors are sweetly holding onto for me, so there will surely be more shopping to come. Can't wait! read more

Anyone who knows me I love art and I love the art district( short north!) But I love it one for its awesome stores. I love to shop I wont lie^^ and this is one of my fave shops. They have everything retro and vintage...books, clothes, furniture, even kitchen wears. And yup everything in between. I've brought several clothing items, vintage Camera, and this and that. Great place to but cool and interesting gifts. Its a little cramped ! even with the two levels... But well worth the squeezing to score some awesome pieces. The prices are pretty darn good. I think it really depends on what your buying. But we all know your gonna splurge on something you really want. I say give Flower Child a try, think you'll be pleased. read more

wow this place was SO cute !! quick tip: it's vintage consignment, NOT thrift , so the price range is kinda up there. however the old items are in such beautiful quality , and honestly the price range is very reasonable for the quality !!! such a cute atmospheric place with such friendly staff (another quick tip: parking is v difficult to find so just be aware !!) read more

Flower Child - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Came in here today while traveling for work. The shop is super eclectic with a wide variety of antiques and collectibles. It was a bit pricey considering it's a thrift shop but the quality seemed really high. Definitely worth a walk through! read more

Allow yourself time to look. This place is packed with hidden treasures. There are multiple rooms on multiple floors.

I've been shopping at flower child since 2008. Always have a wide selection of high quality vintage clothing...and my favorite: jewelry! I'd highly recommend browsing their store! read more

Far and away, this is THE best vintage and resale shop in central Ohio. It's jam-packed with things that bring me back to my childhood (and beyond) in a fun, inviting atmosphere. The vintage jewelry selection is superb and the themed rooms are a total hit - it makes shopping for what you want SO much easier than in a mish-mash shops such as those found along High St. in Clintonville. I simply salivate over the beauty and creativity of their window displays and were I a wealthier woman, my pad would be decked out in the finest retro furnishings money can buy. My only complaint - there is little to no plus-sized vintage clothing to be found in the sizeable treasure-trove of a basement. However, if you're a size 8 or thinner, the basement is vintage clothing Nirvana. read more

After spending way too much time and money at the original Flower Child location in Lakewood (a bummed-out junkie-chic burgh on Cleveland's west side), I nearly wet myself when I found out they finally decided to expand to Columbus. Just like the Cleveland store, the intuitive layout of Flower Child is what sets it apart from the millions of other vintage stores that have popped up around the midwest in the wake of the gentrification boom that gave birth to areas like the Short North. The idea you have to bear with when you first walk in is that you're on a self-guided tour through a house that's been in a complete state of stasis for the past fifty years. The living room ensembles are pieced together to look exactly like embarrassing family photos that have remained locked away in a grandparent's attic for years, and they have the egg-shaped chairs and shag carpeting to match. The basement is a laugh riot as well, complete with a section devoted to vintage porno mags that are just like the ones you used to steal from under your dad's mattress when you were a youngster. With the help of a pilfered can of Blatz and a plastic wicker lawn chair (which Flower Child certainly has plenty of) you'll be reminiscing about the good 'ol days in no time. read more

Five Star customer service at Flower Child? NOPE! I suggested to a friend that we visit this store while we were in Columbus on Black Friday, visiting friends. We've had great experiences with the FLOWER CHILD store in Cleveland Ohio. Upon finding two interesting, but pricey shirts, he approached the clerks or owners to inquire about the possibility for negotiating the price. After she finished counting the change in the drawer, he was told they could reduce by 10%, when asked if there was room for further discounts, the response was a coarse and loud "NOPE!". This has left a very poor impression for this store. Maybe Santa will give this person manners for Christmas. read more

Great selection of hard-to-find vintage relics. However, the tone of the place turns me off. There are signs all over the place telling me not to steal, that I'm on video, and that if I break something, I have to buy it. No kidding--I've been in a store before. I'm not a child and don't appreciate being treated like one. read more

Love this store! I was able to find a table top ceramic Christmas tree. There are so many vintage type items that you won't find anywhere else. It is fun just to go in and look around. read more

Flower Child is, without a doubt, the most amazing vintage store I've ever found in my life!!! This place is absolutely incredible. I was blown away by everything that they had and the condition of there goodes was unbelievable! 2 levels and probably 15 to 20 different rooms of vintage heaven. read more

I could easily spend HOURS at a time wandering around this store. You can find basically everything here. The basement is filled from floor to ceiling with vintage clothing, most pieces at pretty moderate prices. The "dressing room" in the basement is kinda scary though. It's cold, drafty, creepy, complete with these dicey looking spiderwebs. However: still better than a thrift store dressing room, yikes. The upstairs portion of the shop has lots of little rooms, each with a *sortof* theme. Directly to the left upon entering the store is furniture/knickknack rooms set up as retro living rooms and dens. Everything is in tip top preserved condition and beautiful. The kitchen room is awesome, this is where I'm coming if I ever need a retro red/silver chrome breakfast table set or a chrome coffee percolator. They have lots of those here. Essentially, this place has EVERYTHING vintage or retro that you could think of. I have seen the following items here: frilly 50s aprons, smiley face pots for plants, hideous tiki-barroom memorabilia, pink babydoll pajamas, a yellow and black plaid suit, the most Hideous and Amazing sofas I've ever seen in my LIFE, and drawers full of any kind of scarf you could imagine. They have awesome jewelry up front too. If you come in here, good luck to the rest of your day, because you are likely to spend way more time in here than you thought you were going to(be careful to put enough jingle in the parking meter too). read more

The best vintage store I have seen in town. Joe and his staff were friendly and fair in their assessment of my merchandise and offered me a fair price. I buy and sell many things and have never been treated better. Great selection and very fair prices and a variety not seen around the central Ohio area. Highly recommended, Wonderful people!!!! read more

Love this place. I stayed away for a long time because I was creeped out by this hippie thing they used to put out front. (Can't help it, can't explain it.) Hubby and I visited one day during gallery hop and just went in to snoop around. I ended up buying a sweet pair of pointy leather boots at 20% off and he got a authentic Greek fisherman's cap. Looks real cute in it, too. We'll be back! read more

I don't know. I'd rather just head to a museum to experience a richer collection of age-old curios, but I *guess* I understand the appeal of this place. I mean, you can actually *touch* and *buy* the stuff on display, and some of the dresses can conjure up romanticized thoughts of a classic mid-twentieth-century prom night. I'll stop in when I want, but it's not on my list of must-sees in the Short North. Feel free not to share my sentiments, though. read more

This place is super cool. I could while away an entire afternoon wandering from room to room looking at the neat little knickyknacky oddities. As much as I like exploring, I never wind up liking anything I see enough to buy it. If there is something I'm genuinely intrigued in, it's always way expensive. If there there is something in my price range, it's either crap or not my style. And it's not that I'm a cheapskate either, I guess I just have bad luck. read more

Flower Child is so much fun. I like this location a little better than the Cleveland location because it's roomier and you feel less like you're going to smash into something every time you turn a corner. The employees were very nice and helpful. I tend to geek out over vintage fabulousness, so I spent a good hour and a half in here. For me, it's part shopping, part looking at things as you would in a museum. Even the items that are way out of my price range are still fun to look at! I wouldn't say their prices are cheap, but go to a store like this in New York or San Francisco and you will know that vintage items can always be much more expensive! read more

Really awesome store. Kind of wished I would have thought of it first. But man is everything just a little too expensive for what it is. I feel like the prices just need knocked down 25% and I would buy everything. Instead I bought nothing. Definitely worth checking out though. read more

This place is simply a FUN experience. Be prepared to laugh, reminise, and buy. The array of vintage 70's (and 60's too) items is truly amazing. Staff is helpful. read more

There was so much stuff here! I work at a vintage shop and it was hard for me to imagine one bigger than the one I work at, but, man. Huge. The basement is also filled. There is just about any type of thing you'd want here. There is a lot of 1970s and I was specifically looking for 30s, 40s and 50s. I did leave with three 40s items, a 50s, and a 70s item. They had a good amount of what I was looking for in a wide range of sizes, but I will say there is nothing older than the 40s that I could see and some items labeled as 30s were actually 40s. The pricing is pretty fair, although one of the items I purchased was over priced but I realllly wanted it. The confusing part of the store is that it is separated by vendor, so there aren't designated areas for types of items or era. The employees are really nice, too. I will definitely return. read more

Super cute vintage store, it's bigger than it looks on the outside. A lot of awesome hats and interesting finds. Love this place. I wish there were more stores around like it! read more

I went in with no expectations, and left with some cool jewelry. The funky furniture isn't too expensive, and they have many interesting items. I'm looking forward to going back and hunting for some cheap/cool furniture for my house. It was a fun experience, and I'm glad I had time to look through a lot of the stuff. read more

I can spend hours in this store-it's vintage wonderland! I especially love the basement full of retro clothes!

Flower Child is one of my favorite vintage shops. There is always an outstanding selection of mid century modern furniture in the front rooms. The only downside is my house isn't big enough to take all of the treasures I covet home with me! read more

FLOWER CHILD is alot of Fun .... A must for Vintage & Pop culture fans ...Fun to shop / visit here with Friends , Family .... I really enjoy some of these cool shops on North High ..... 5 MEOWS Baby ! :) read more

2.5. This used to be one of my all time favorite vintage stores but we knew the second we walked in by the smell of stinky old shoe that a shift had occurred. They still have a couple of rooms with housewares, furniture and kitchen items but their bread and butter is now definitely vintage clothes. Where they used to have just one pretty massive selection of vintage clothes in the basement, both sides are now dominated by them as well as several spots upstairs. The place literally smells and not in that good musty, old leather or book smell like most vintage places. We literally had to hold our breath through the lobby and into one of the side rooms because it stunk so bad from the 100 or so pairs of shoes that lined the entryway. Obviously if vintage clothes are what you're looking for then score for you, my friends. But we left feeling seriously disappointed and will save our next FC outing for the one in Cleveland and hope they haven't made the same switch. Sigh. read more

I'm always impressed by the selection of vintage clothing at Flower Child, but I don't love the experience. It's impossible to navigate their labyrinthine rooms without constantly bumping into other people. And for this price, I expect not to discover an insect laid eggs in the hem of my new skirt. read more

I love wandering around for hours in this place. There is an entire basement full of vintage clothing & accessories in addition to furniture & homeware on the main floor. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because they are a bit pricey. read more

Vintage is not really my expertise, but I have been in a number of shops and this one has considerably more stuff without having considerably more crap. There are probably over ten rooms in this place. It seems to specialize in 1970s era pieces. You can find clothing, homewares, furniture, and some art here. I'm going to give an A+ to the women's shoes and coats collections in particular. Good service, they really do know how to undress a mannequin there. read more

Very cool vintage store with everything from boots to clothes to furnishings to whatever you need at your bar. If nothing else a cool time capsule to walk thru. read more

Upon entering I was amazed by the selection. They have TWO BASEMENTS filled with vintage clothes and several other rooms of clothes and furniture. The staff is friendly and the variety of items can be overwhelming (in a good way). Though, what agitated me about this place was the pricing. I saw items that had stains, missing buttons, or loosening of stitches but were priced at $40, $50, and $60! Don't get me wrong they have a lot of mint condition high quality vintage items. Though, on average I felt that most of the items were a bit ridiculous. I'm a thrifter so I was able to find an eccentric yet fashionable blazer for $20. Paying $20 for a piece of clothing in that place is a deal. read more

Alot of different items, but WAY over priced. I seen better prices in New York City and LA. If your looking for vintage clothing in Columbus,oh this should be your last stop because there's way better out there. I would check out Mad 4 Mod before going to flower child. Also BEWARE no return policy the moment you step out of the store.... literally. read more

For a trip down into the past this is definately the place. The rooms are set up in period style, 60's and 70's living rooms, a cool bright overstocked 50's and 60's kitchen, wonderful clothing and acessories from the 30's 40's 50's 60's upstairs in the delightful violet room.. lots of stuff for him, and then you go downstairs and your head will explode with the selection! The owner Mary Beth is a sweetie pie and so are the gals who work for her... loved this placed and their wonderful merchandise, can't wait to stop in again next time I am back this way. read more
