Since I hadn't been there he graciously told us the lay of the land. I really enjoyed looking through the market. As with any antique mall there are vendor booths that are well priced and then insanely expensive. There is a lot to see for sure. One main drawback is this is a "CASH ONLY" business. If you read my reviews you know I hate cash only businesses. Luckily I had plenty of cash- as it turns out I ended up not purchasing anything. I was tempted to purchase a few items but did not. I highly recommend visiting- I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. They have a little snack stand and a nice. Lean restroom to make your shopping spree comfortable. I did not eat here but I thought that was great! I was tempted by the enormous Valentines cards for 1$- but there were no envelopes. There was a cute seasonal booth where everything was a dollar and some booths had decent sales.

Impeccable restoration on pieces from the 50s/60s/70s - if I could outfit my entire house in their pieces I would. Their price points are extremely fair, especially considering the work it takes to source; transport & restore. They do not hike up their prices to follow the MCM crazes that we've seen in the last few years (ie Empoli Genie bottles are $60-80ish, not $200), so I've always felt they're 20%+ lower than what you'd pay closer to the city.

I highly recommend shopping at Venus Vintage Thrift and Antiques. I hope to shop here again in the future. Sam generously hand delivered my 80 pound purchase to the local UPS store for UPS to pack and ship. It is a Drop/Wrap/Pack/Ship and Guarantee service that UPS offers. Weeks later, when the store was not forthcoming with the insurance claim after UPS shipped and delivered my item damaged, Sam took it upon herself to help me expedite my claim by getting involved even though UPS guarantees shipping and she was not at all responsible for shipping, she immediately contacted the store manager to expedite the status of the claim I always say the testament of a great company is not how they handle things when they go as planned, but how they handle a situation that goes awry.

They are both very knowledgeable about the rare items that they carry, and the associates are extremely helpful in finding just that thing you didn't know you were looking for.

I absolutely love this shop and vibe!  The selection feels thoughtfully curated and the best part is that their prices are affordable. The denim selection is amazing, and I'm obsessed with all the crochet pieces. The jewelry is just as good -- tons of gold, plus beautiful silver pieces (which is so in right now). My life was forever changed when I found the best pair of aviators here -- I've been dreaming about glasses like these, and somehow they were just sitting there waiting for me. That's the kind of place LuLus is. If you're looking for something unique and one-of-a-kind, this is exactly where you should shop. It's the kind of boutique you keep coming back to for the fun, the glamour, and of course, because you never know what you'll find next. Thank you! Support local

Since F was in Phoenixville on business, I figured I could dash in and check to see if it was still there. When we got to the door there was a sign up saying the store was closed for inventory....oh no I was so disappointed BUT the lovely lady inside saw me peeking in and opened the door. I told her my story and she was so kind and gracious to let me in as long as "I didn't mind the mess". Alas, the dress was nowhere to be found (my fault for not snatching it up when I had the chance). The co-owner even called her partner while I was there to see if she knew the location of the dress. I love when someone goes above and beyond what is expected in order to help a customer. Kudos to you Lulu...I will be back.

The Velvet Shoestring accepts consignments on high quality pre-owned modern, vintage and antique items - think Waterford, Herend, Herman Miller. Pricing changes based on the time an item is available, dropping every 30 days. This is noted on the tag so if, say, you want something but don't want to pay the current price you can take your chances that it won't sell by the time the price drops. When I say something is a relative bargain, I mean they Eden at the most reduced price you will not find a Tiffany lamp for $5. Consider that the lamp was, let's say, $900 new, they might price it at $400 to start and it's still a good price for what it is. They don't negotiate beyond the tag. Staff are minimal and unobtrusive. You're generally left to wander the two floors (main floor, lower floor) to your hearts content. It's a lovely store that I enjoy visiting every few weeks to see what's new and what I might want - the other day I bought the stained glass lamp in one of the photos. I love it.
