3 reviews for Centricity
A glorious pocket of vintage fun, there is not one space of wall in Centricity that is left uncovered. I make my way from the sale racks (sometimes under $10!), past the shelves overflowing with mouth watering purses and technicolor bangles, pause briefly by the shoes, and head straight for the vast treasury of clothes where I begin to drool excessively.
While I wouldn't consider myself a regular, I do like to pop in every now and then to feed my inner fashionista and perhaps walk out with a designer treat from years past (most items range from the 20's to the 80's). The flawless black fringe piece, circa 1920 (!!!!) inspired me to go as a flapper for Halloween.
If you shop with a purpose, consult Christine, the sweet-as-pie owner for her expertise. Trust me, this woman knows her stuff, and has been known to give quite the deal!
How I only wish this place was bigger...

Love Love LOVE this place. Hidden away in a teeny little basement store, this place is an absolute gem. The have countless dresses, skirts and bags to add to your already overstuffed wardrobe. They feature a lot of circa 1980's dresses and I bought an awesome leather/ snakeskin oversized clutch there about a month ago for thirty bucks. They also have some funky looking belts and shoes, but I'd say their best items are the dresses and the bags. To add to the great shopping experience, the owner Christine is a doll. She always has great ideas on how to update old pieces, is extremely helpful and fun, is never pushy and is known to negotiate prices for the financially impaired like myself. All in all, a great way to spend some dough on the weekend.

Vintage! Good music, good stuff. The have very neat selections of bags, clothes, and shoes (mainly 70s style). Also, if you're a bit low on dough, there are sales racks for items under $10.
