Very nice selection of clothing (men & women), purses, shoes, accessories (jewelry, belts, hats). I was trying to find a car-themed trucker hat for the husband but couldn't find one that he would like (he's picky). I was admiring a lily shaped hair stick in the glass case but regrettably didn't ask to see it. I may come back for that one! Very friendly staff who greeted us as we walked in. Pricing is on a higher end, but may be worth it for that one-of-a-kind gift.

While visiting Nashville for the first time I always make it a point to visit vintage clothing…read morestores as well as thrift shops. It can be daunting picking where to go since you have never gone into that city or know the market. I visited on March 21,2026 Also, there is the question of selection, price point, and condition ESPECIALLY when buying vintage pieces. I decided to check out The Hip Zipper because it is supposedly the oldest vintage store in Nashville and the prices from other reviewers said were fair to affordable! Selection made for the first stop. I was greeted by the lovely Gracie name suited her. She allowed me to browse quick to answer questions and showed me to the dressing room all while juggling other clients. The Hip Zipper has an ample dressing room for trying on. I think there is only one dressing room. However, in a pinch they might use the restroom. I must mention they do have a restroom which is lovely. I really love the layout of the store easy to survey every rack CLEARLY marked with what is there. The tags give additional help on the size and prices are CLEARLY marked. Please remember vintage does run smaller don't FORCE these garments to fit if you are having trouble PLEASE ask for assistance. I picked up two very fabulous dresses from two different eras of fashion. A sweater dress with amazing details and a matching belt dating from the 1940's to 1950's $ 52.00 and a late 1970's early 1980's dress for a mere $ 10.00! Although I wish I spent more time looking at accessories! There were a few purses that I was swooning over now I wish I had picked one up. I will call tomorrow and ask if I bought it would shipping home be a possibility. The Hip Zipper DEFINITELY worth a visit if you are visiting Nashville.

Nancy B Goods was one of the unexpected highlights of our trip to Nashville…read more Before we even stepped inside the shop, my girlfriend and I were struggling to get a good selfie on the bench outside. The owner noticed and kindly offered to take our photo. Not only did she take several pictures, but when I asked if she would take a few more, she happily obliged without hesitation. Once inside, we found a beautifully curated shop filled with unique treasures. I was especially drawn to the collection of copper bells and ornaments, as I enjoy hanging pieces like these in the tree in our backyard. The owner took the time to chat with us, asking where we were from, what brought us to Nashville, and what we had planned during our stay. She shared thoughtful recommendations for local shops, restaurants, and experiences that only a true local would know. When I mentioned that I planned to hang the copper bells outdoors, she even recommended a protective coating to help preserve them from the elements. It was clear that she genuinely cared about helping her customers enjoy their purchases long after they left the store. Her attention to detail continued through the checkout process. She carefully wrapped the bells to protect them and minimize noise during our travels. She even walked across the alley to another shop to get us a sturdier bag because she felt it would be better suited for carrying our purchases than the bags she had on hand. The moment that truly sealed the experience came when a heavy rainstorm rolled in as we were leaving. Without a second thought, she offered us her personal umbrella and simply trusted us to bring it back when we were done. In a world where customer service often feels transactional, this was something special. Nancy B Goods is a wonderful shop, but it's the kindness, generosity, and genuine hospitality of its owner that make it unforgettable. We will absolutely stop in again the next time we're in Nashville.

After calling different shops in the area ahead of time, I found Abednego had the best selection, and store manager Laura was amazingly kind and accommodating! When we arrived at the store, she had gift-wrapped the Jellycats for my daughter and her friend, and even added a cute pink helium balloon to make it extra fun. She had asked me her fav color the day before we arrived- talk about going above and beyond to help us with the surprise! Such a thoughtful touch and a really beautiful shop. Mackenzie was working the day we came in, and she was just the sweetest! I highly recommend supporting this small business and we will certainly be back next time we're in town.

I was hoping to find a cute clutch (I forgot a bag I could carry for a wedding I was in town for), but I ended up finding a fun ring instead of a bag. The customer service was great, and the store is full of great, lovely stuff. Definitely check it out if you're in Germantown!

My favorite store in Nashville, but also probably my favorite store ever!…read more This is the epitome of what I call a shoppy shop. I adore how community-minded they are- almost everything in the store is intentionally curated and locally sourced. They carry everything from greeting cards (these were some of the best I've ever seen) and stationery to home goods and apparel. There's so much life and personality inside and out! Even the smallest of details like their take on the traditional "Please don't steal" signs are fun. The owners are absolutely rad. One gal chatted with me as I poked around the store and shared so many tidbits about their products, local makers they support, and the community Thunder Moon Collective is curating. You can really tell that they are so in love with what they do. Supporting local and shopping small is so heartwarming here and everywhere.

Worst place I have been in...ever. My wife and I will never go back…read more Worst owner. He was narcissistic, rude, condescending and cruel to customers who simply asked about prices. Vile human being. First. Super dirty feel. Did not feel like the "store" which is filled with junk has ever been swept. All the items are either overpriced, tourist crap (t-shirts, cutting boards, trucker hats.) the book and record selection was absolutely pathetic. Still we wanted to support this business. I didn't dare say anything because of what happened next. I witnessed the most ugly customer service ever in any business we have ever been in. First, another customer, an elderly man asked about book prices, and the owner basically told the man that he was cheap for asking. Then all hell broke loose when another customer bought some items that were clearly labeled as one price (I checked,) and the owner switched up the price on that customer to try to get more money. The owner lied to the customers face and then he got hostile. The customer said they didn't want the item, because the price was clearly marked, and it's the only reason he wanted the item. The owner reacted like he was being attacked...then he started screaming at the top of his lungs, basically calling the customer a liar. Then the owner started yelling profanities and vulgar language at the customer. Basically saying that he was going to "SA" the customer. It was CRAZY! Then, condescendingly, the owner told the customer to put the items back where they got them, and the customer refused. The customer told the owner that he didn't appreciate being called a liar, and the price was clearly marked. After the owner shouted "f- you." Four or five times, the customer, who was on his way out and said "f-you too, you're a liar." That enraged the owner to the extent that he started screaming and every other word was the f-word. Then it was a shouting match, because the customer had enough of the abuse and verbal assault for no reason. All over the owner either mistaking or forgetting the right price. The customer's friend was there and helped the customer walk out as the man was basically calling him a bigoted slur that shocked even people walking by outside. I ran into the couple at the bookstore down the block (Rhino Books,) where they were calming down. They pointed out that, over the years, they have bought over $100 on books, records and souvenirs from that place. At Rhino, the man spent over $500 on books, so they had money to spend that day--the customer was a really nice person who drove two hours to visit the VA in Nashville, and he chose to go to that store to support local businesses. The owner had been screaming at a decorated war veteran who was disabled! The customer was in the right this time. When I left "Cruel Stuff," I saw that the customer was right about the price. I usually only write positive things if I can. I have nothing to positive to say about Cool Stuff and Weird Things, I would call it "Cruel stuff and rude things." This owner was absolutely rude and what he did and said was completely uncalled for--the way that owner treated his customers...and then screaming I waited two days to say anything. I debated about posting this. That customer wanted to help this business out, only to be screamed at, and it was a good thing that customer had his family member with him because that rude owner was about to get violent. I don't care if they sell full-sized, brand new Corvettes for $20, me and my wife will never set foot in this store for as long as I live. Zero stars. Shame on this owner for verbally assaulting customers simply because his store is poorly organized and he doesn't even know his own prices. It's a damned thrift store, and he is so delusional that he thinks people don't barter in thrift stores. That's what is normal.
