Super cute, tightly curated selection of clothing. Very clean and welcoming space, have bought many pieces and even wall decor here over the years. It is pricier than local thrift stores or flea markets ($20-$50 range) but in my experience it's relatively on par with other boutiques in the city like Vintage Frills or Lost Girls Vintage

My friend and I came in 1/21 to look around as we had just come from another thrift store down the street and upon entering the sales associate asked us if we wanted to keep our bags up there which in theory seems like a nice offer however, it didn’t really seem optional and she almost asked me to keep my purse with her too but stopped asking when I turned around to go shopping. My purse is a tiny shoulder bag it barely holds my keys let alone other stuff. I went to the racks and she was right behind me several times as if she was watching me very closely and did this with no one else except my friend and i who are black but to no other patrons. Upon leaving we asked for our bags back and only made it right out the door to find out she gave my friend the wrong bag and the other bag was literally the stores stuff. We brought it back and she didn’t even notice. It would be one thing if everyone had to leave their bags up there but every other patron had their shopping bags or bags with them and weren’t followed around unless they asked for assistance it felt like racial profiling and was micro aggressive. As much as I love a small business, i did not feel welcomed as a black patron and probably will never come back I am very disappointed even being from missouri i have never had such a bad experience of racial profiling as a patron than my friend and i did today.

This place really does have the very best vintage. The shop is small but well organized and stocked with a variety of nice, decently priced clothes and accessories. It didn't have the vintage store smell at all, and the dressing rooms are well lit and very comfortable! The shopkeeper was extremely attendant and kind, she held clothes for me by the register while I continued to shop. Though there is an area for men's clothing this does primarily have vintage womens clothes. Highly Recommended! In my opinion this is the best vintage shop in the strip

A small, but well stocked vintage shop in Pilsen. Located on a street rich with other vintage shops, as well as places to get coffee, used + new books, and old records, this is a great place to stop in, look around, and find some treasure. On my first visit I found the aesthetics and music (old school Chicago house) on point, and the place really is stocked full of interesting vintage finds. As an avid thrift store shopper, however, I can be a little picky about vintage sellers that (imo) are selling many things that can be found in thrift stores/estate sales,etc. That said, Very Best Vintage is great for those who don't thrift often, and want a more curated selection to choose from.
