Jinxed
1915 WASHINGTON AVE | 4521 BALTIMORE AVE | 1331 FRANKFORD AVE
The Lowdown: Perhaps the Mecca of affordable vintage furniture and objects in Philly; they now boast 3 storefronts in Fishtown, West Philly, and South Philly. They also post 🔥 hot items 🔥 on Instagram that you can buy over DM or on the phone.

I Can Dig This
717 HADDON AVE COLLINGSWOOD, NJ
The Lowdown: We all know that when you say you’re from Philly you’re secretly from South Jersey, so head on over to this charming shop in Collingswood! They sell a variety of well-crafted MCM furniture, but really stand out with retro pieces that have built-in stereos, record players and record storage.
Price: Definitely a little pricier, but only because of the high quality and great condition of their pieces. You can still get a side table for under $200, but you’ll have to shell out at least $800 for the music-related furni.
