    This adorable boutique should be renamed 'For Hilary,' because if I had my druthers, everything in…read morethis shop would be in my closet... Well, not the sales girl, but she was pretty sweet. As I was perusing downtown New Bedford, the window displays of For Veda caught my eye and I had to go in. I'm so glad I did! Cute dresses, tops, skirts and pants are neatly displayed in tasteful racks in a gorgeous, boudoir-ish space with deep blue walls and frilly details. I was lucky enough to snag an adorable mint green polka dot sundress before it flew out of the store - it was the last one left. The sales girl was friendly, helpful and fun to be with - she was totally encourages trying stuff on, having a ball and signing up for their loyalty-rewards program (for every $20 spent, you get a stamp, and for twenty stamps, you get a discount). So, if your in downtown NB, looking for some fun, girly items and up for a good time, hit up For Veda, for sho'.

    Curated. Lovely. Unpretentious. For Veda is all of these things, which makes it a welcome part of…read morethe downtown New Bedford shopping scene. You can definitely notice the transformation that is happening on this stretch of Purchase Street in the heart of the historic part of the city, which features a handful of cool shops and eateries. Among them, For Veda is a standout. This manageable space (a single room, with one dressing room) is filled with lovely and unique clothing and accessories. You won't be overwhelmed by volume upon entry; rather, you are able to dive deeply into the many special pieces that are there. The owner, Tessa, is sweet and welcoming. She used to work at a couple of restaurants in the neighborhood, and still shows her former employers her support. If you bring a receipt from Cork or Rose Alley Ale House, you get a 5% discount off your purchase. On my last visit, I got a very cute red, white and blue striped maxi skirt at an end-of-season discount. While the store offers a sale rack, full price items are also quite reasonably priced. Yet another reason to head to New Bedford for a day of shopping: shop owners really do have regular, working folks in mind - and the prices of some fabulous pieces truly reflect that. If you're exploring the Whaling City for the day, or en route to Cape Cod, and you're the type that gets inspired by beautiful and on-trend clothing, you should spend some time in this pretty, stylish shop.

    Circa Vintage Wear - Great dress, it was a hit at the victorian tea!

    Great place, nice owner, good vintage pieces, and good prices. They had a lot of stuff…read more Definitely worth it.

    Don't believe the hype. This store is NOT worth a trip to New Bedford…read more It's not because they don't have plenty of vintage clothes -- they do. It's just that 80% of their stock SUCKS. It's cheap and ugly vintage -- it's the stuff no one wants that would be left behind at a garage sale. Think heavy woolen overshirts from the 1950s and 1960s that fit poorly, look bad, and make you sweat, or old ugly polyester suits that were cheap when they were made and still look just as cheap. There are live moths and plenty of moth holes on the clothes here. Compare the price of 1970s blazer in mint condition -- here it's 85 bucks, at Goodwill in Boston, it's 8 bucks. The inventory of this store might be good if you're making a Scorcese period movie or for Halloween, but you're unlikely to wear anything that's here on a day-to-day basis. Most of the clothes here are HEAVY (physically heavy), and the racks are all so stuffed you can't look at anything without practically ripping it out of the rack, and then forget about trying to put it back. It's like the owner is afraid to throw anything away. This store would do much better if it were closer to Boston, or if it was in New York. Then maybe there would be far more turnover, hipper pieces, and fewer moths. If you want to see an exemplary vintage menswear store, check out Crowley Vintage in Brooklyn or Pick n Weight in Berlin. Don't get me wrong, I see what the store owner is trying to do here, and maybe 25 years ago, this was where it was at. But the world -- including the vintage world -- has changed, and this store's inventory is stuck in the past -- and not in a good way.
