What a gem of a store! It's a very curated vintage store. They have a really great collection of jewelry. I was particularly impressed with their ring selection. I have made two separate purchases so far and intend to come back again! Everything is super charming, like the drawer of "little guys" (photos attached!) For in store events they have a DJ playing records, you can shop, listen to music, and purchase a beverage to enjoy while you shop. The staff really care about what they do and it shows in the details. read more

As someone who really tries to buy second hand, even when on Newbury in the face of hot&new clothes, Vivant makes it super easy! Their selection is great, their staff is friendly, and the store lay-out is super logical. I ended up grabbing something from their jewelry selection--def worth a visit! read more

A cool little treasure just off the beaten path. Lots of nice and curated vintage and rare t-shirts and clothes packed in here, so there's something for everyone. The prices can be a bit high for some items (the have the original Nirvana T-shirt for $900 which IYKYK is pretty rad) but also tons of very affordable and jackets and dresses. Not a huge space but very well laid out with plenty to explore! Also has a great selection of records too. read more

I found a Patagonia jacket which fit perfectly and was an amazing price without the sale. I also found a vintage camera for my dad for Christmas which I think he'll love.

I've been here twice, purchased once. I am super picky about denim and 90% of what I own is vintage. As much as I love scouring thrift stores and eBay for the particular pairs I love, it's also exhausting. Anyone who wears vintage denim knows it's part luck, part knowing specific brand+year+ size. Both times I've gone to Vivant, I've been able to tell the staff exactly the type of style I want and they can pull it. And I'm not asking them "I want high rise" ... I'm asking them "I want high rise slim fitting tapered similar to mid 90s Calvin Klein easy fit". They're that knowledgable, and they always show me comparable options so I can lengthen my list of acceptable vintage jean styles. Today I bought a pair of Levi's 912's and they've got the rare white R-only tab. Certainly, it's more expensive than buying off secondhand sellers but $70 is extremely reasonable. also, words cannot express how grateful I am that they actually measure, mark, and categorize the denim wall like it's purchasing new. I will willingly pay more for that service alone. read more

I am a huge fan of this wonderful, weird little shop. It's full of so many interesting things, great accessories and beautiful pieces of clothing. I could spend hours (and soooo much money) in Vivant Vintage. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and they have two dressing rooms so you can make sure stuff actually fits before you commit to it. They have a huge selection of gorgeous rings as well. Vivant Vintage is pricier than your average thrift store, but it's well worth it - you can tell that every piece has been carefully selected for good reason. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

I love this little local shop!! It brings such character to the neighborhood. They always have the coolest stuff too, a wide variety of vintage and unique pieces in great condition. Once they had this awesome working space-themed pinball machine from the 70's in there. I've seen alligator skin bags, magicians kits, shipping trunks, you name it. The owners are also incredibly nice and always happy to help you find what you're looking for - they helped me find the perfect odd-sized bedside table that I needed and I also got this rad vintage spoon ring that's my absolute favorite. And if they don't have what you need, the owners are the ones who go out and shop for the store personally so they've often offered to keep an eye out for specific items I'm after. It's not often you find that kind of service anywhere, let alone in Boston. Can't beat the prices too!! read more

On my first visit here today, the salesperson apologized if their inventory seemed slim because a bunch of it was over at the Boston Tattoo Convention today. I was really surprised--I didn't think it was slim at all! Vintage shops usually have such a small collection, so I am impressed that they usually have even more than they had today (I will DEFINITELY be back to check that out). The store is laid out in a really neat and beautiful way. Everything is super well organized. Things are priced very reasonably, and I fell in love with a $45 embroidered maxi dress from the 70s. The staff are nice and helpful without being overbearing, which is ideal. Check this place out! read more
