A great new local gem! Has it's own special niche when compared with similar local shops. Friendly staff right when you walk in the door! Lots to look at, decent prices but some high end stuff too, like custom designer clothing & jewelry also made locally! This would be a good place to find some treasures. there is an incense factory next door so the place has a distinct but pleasant smell. If you walk by here you should stop in. 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

Been going for many years. So many good finds and such a lovely owner and staff. I still remember when they found a coat for me because they thought it would look great with my hair. Still wear it every spring and fall. Don't miss out! read more

All of their workers are super nice and there is no other place in boston with the vintage selection that Vivant has! Certainly stop by if you find yourself in Allston, you won't be disappointed. Great selection of boots and motorcycle jackets, along with vintage jewelry, novelty items, and even some stuff from local artists and designers! read more

Vivant Vintage has a really cool selection of items from the hip and funky to the qwirky and bizarre! When you first walk in you're brought into a wide surrounding of many racks of vintage clothing, shoes, hats, and everything in between. There is also a pretty solid selection of old vinyl LP's, some vintage toys/games, musical items, furniture, jewelry, accessories, and everything in between! Definitely worth the trip if you're a connoisseur of vintage items that have retained their style and flair in the modern age. It's also a very convenient spot to get to on foot, although parking can be a bit difficult in the area. Definitely check it out if you're in the area! read more

Superb selection and generally very low-prices that would even make Store 54 blush. This place is the best! The owner Justin is super super nice, you should talk to him if you can about what you're looking for, since he personally goes out every week to select stuff for the store, he generally knows every single item by heart. This store is the heart and soul of Allston. It's the punk rock DIY version of Bobby from Boston. It's the very good and totally stylish used clothing you could see other places, but rightly aimed and priced for the Allston budget. It's very approachable, it's not snooty. The store is a joy. There are a lot of neat vintage type knick·knacks here, but i don't really buy those, so i can't speak to their quality. I also don't know about the women's section, not really being a woman. I can however elaborate on the specifics of the Men's clothes. There tends to be an emphasis on great durable classic clothing items such as peacoats, sport jackets, vintage jeans, hundreds of leather jackets, amazing cowboy boots, flannel shirts, dress shoes, and work boots. Generally there are plenty of middle grade items at reasonable prices, and just for you true Lower Allstinos out there, there are some more-used items as well but they're only offered at very deep discounts. It's a great store, has new inventory ALL the time. You should go here at least once EVERY week. read more

Wonderful spot! They have a fantastic ring selection. I've gotten some there that I wear almost on a daily basis. The dresses are adorable and the boot selection is huge. Great style and atmosphere. Plus they sell ABNDN jewelry that is made out of vintage and recycled keys and chains. Thumbs up for vivant vintage. read more

Great store. Unique variety of items. Clothes, shoes, accessories and artifacts. Help was pleasant not pushy. Really loved the experience.... we will be back when we come back to town. read more

Vivant Vintage is an absolute GEM. They have an incredible selection of curios, oddities, and antiques in addition vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories. I could probably drain my bank account here in one fell swoop. I've purchased several favorites including boots, a scarf, and a unique coin purse that always gets people talking. Justin, who owns the shop with his wife (and in house tailor!) is wonderful and goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service. During my most recent visit, I bought a large, bulky item as a birthday gift for my husband. Not only did he drive me home to deliver it for an extremely reasonable price, he stopped so I could pick up a birthday cake along the way. A+++ Bottom line... GO HERE. Just do it. Seriously. read more

Helped me size all my fingers for rings and I found a cute new vintage ring!! Excellent service and really cool denim available too.

I was very pleasantly surprised with this place. First of all, the store is beautifully curated. You can tell each piece is selected for a reason. Second, the service was amazing. The associate went above and beyond to help me find the perfect pair of Levi's. I will be going back to find some shorts in the summer! read more

I really like Vivant. My only problem is that their clothing selection can certainly be mirrored to the now-closed Second Time Around. The clothing is too expensive for the college-age population that surrounds it. I have however found some rare gems within the store. It's fairly easy to get to (once you know where it is) and they have a good selection. I think they should expand their operation and take over the building across the highway which closed (and used to be a similar type store). read more

Great selection of super unique items! A little on the pricy side but definitely worth stopping in!

Cool, retro, and timeless fashion plus other neat trinkets from yesteryear. I always go here looking for something simple, like a belt buckle, and come out with a badass item that oozes quality and vibe. The shop itself is fun to explore, like a humble curiosities museum with a friendly, artsy staff. read more

Super helpful with special requests! They had some beautiful polaroid cameras at Central Flea, i called to ask if they could do a delivery to a local address, and they were really helpful with the whole process. This was a really fun gift-giving-from-out-of-town experience. Thanks guys! read more

Just went in here. The woman working there was really friendly and helpful. It's a cool little place with lots of random odds and ends. It's not for everyone, but you'll probably find something pretty dope to take home with you if you stop by! read more

Great, well-curated vintage store with a fantastic & distinctive selection of t-shirts, silver rings, knick-knacks, ashtrays, Zippo lighters, bolo ties, pocket knives, sunglasses, boots & shoes, vintage bags, and a back room full of vintage military jackets, cutoff denim shorts, plaid flannel shirts, printed 70's polyester shirts, leather jackets, lingerie, and much more. Friendly staff with great musical taste, too! read more

I've never posted to yelp before, but I felt compelled to after buying a vintage camera from Justin, the owner of vivant vintage. Me and a friend were disappointed to find the store closed one afternoon during the holidays. Justin just happened to be stopping by that moment and invited us in to look around. There's an incredible collection of what I can only describe as "cool old stuff." Justin was really knowledgable about all the items, particularly the wide selection of vintage film cameras. I bought a Minolta xg700 for a great deal. Justin gave me his cell phone number and told me to call him if there were any problems with it. These old cameras tend to be finicky so, low and behold, there was a mechanical problem with the shutter. I got in touch with justin and, on his day off, he met with me to exchange it for a working camera from his own personal collection at home. This is a great business with personal, thoughtful customer service. I highly recommend stopping by to look around. Perfect place to find cool unique gifts or one-of-a-kind treasures. read more
