5 Orlando Vintage Shops to Support on Small Business Saturday

Vintage shoppers know the value of shopping small. When you’re looking for unique, one-of-a-kind items, small, locally-owned businesses often provide the best treasures. As part of the post-Thanksgiving shopping extravaganza that includes Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday puts the spotlight on local shops, businesses, and restaurants. If you’re celebrating Small Business Saturday in Orlando, check out these five local vintage shops.

Etoile Boutique

Voted the #1 Orlando boutique by Orlando weekly readers, the Etoile Boutique has been a local favorite since 2006. Etoile features hand-picked vintage items for men and women from the 1950s-1990s. If you like to compliment your vintage vibes with a modern flair Etoile also features clothing and accessories from local lifestyle brands. Last year’s Small Business Saturday included a pop-up block party, so be sure to follow Etoile Boutique for updates on this year’s festivities.
