Flamingo Vintage,

5449 W Vernor Highway, Detroit, MI 48209

"I walk in the door and instantly was asked by someone to leave my bag behind the counter. There are millions of stores across the world that don’t do this. It ruins your mood and makes you not want to shop because instantly you are being accused of someone who will possibly shoplift without even getting a “Hello”. If you can’t watch the store and keep an eye on customers maybe retail isn’t a job for you. This is a horrible business plan and you will lose customers, starting with me."

"Flamingo Vintage is the place for fabulous vintage variety! Nikki and Finn are so friendly, warm, and welcoming! The vibe of the whole store is so comfortable and relaxing. I recommend anyone looking for 1940s to Y2K fashion to make this their stop. It is the Detroit experience!"

"First discovered this place while having lunch at Dulys , directly across the street. An immediate love affair began the moment I stepped in the door. Like being transported to a different time and place , the kind that embraces the soul . the store is so well arranged and the goods are of a quality that appeals to the senses , the smell is amazing setting a very comfortable ambiance that is enjoyed by both young and old. The prices are fair to beyond fair . this place stands out in my mind as a very fine canvas upon which the most precious art is portrayed. It is an amazing experience. I do plan on returning soon in hopes to find a vintage hat and satchel and explore even more. Every visit holds new secret treasures awaiting to be found. The staff is Great ."

"I am happy to say I found my new favorite vintage store in the US! I work onboard cruise ships and shop vintage all over the world (over a hundred countries and every continent logged). This has now stolen the top spot from a boutique in New Zealand. This gorgeous shop has such amazing finds that I spent almost 2 hours and if I didn’t have to go back to work I would have spent longer because I’m sure I missed some amazing finds. Pricing is more than fair on great quality pieces. It’s also visually beautiful with everything sorted by colors and then sizes. I’m most impressed with the assortment of size ranges. Usually, my favorite eras of the 1940-1960’s are so small that it’s hard for me to find anything. Today I found 3 stunning dresses, 2 blouses, 1 sweater, 3 incredible vintage hats, 2 pairs of gloves and 1 gorgeous necklace/bracelet set. And Connor, behind the amazing counter that belonged to the original haberdashery that was at this location, was fun to chat with. (Thank you Connor!) It’s nice to have someone passionate about vintage. I didn’t go thru the men’s selection but it did look like a nice selection as well. I will for sure be back to this gem of a shop the next time I’m in town!!"

"Shop was just ok. Went in to try on a dress they have listed currently on the website for sale and was told it was already sold. Still shopped around to check everything out. Shop is very dark inside. Could use some better lighting. Did not end up purchasing anything but still glad I made the drive to see what was up with this little shop. Trucker hat made me laugh"
