6 vintage stores for every kind of collector

Vintage treasure hunting has always been a more sustainable option for shopping—whether it’s for big-ticket items like furniture or quirky trinkets for specific collectors. Here are some shops to visit if you’re on the hunt for items to add to your home and want to be a responsible shopper. After all, one man’s trash is another’s treasure.

They’ve since relocated to Silang, Cavite but are still selling the same vintage machines and collectibles in their shop. If you’re looking for rare pieces (some of them are still in good working condition such as a vintage Coca-Cola vending machine from the 1940s), this is the place to visit.
