NEW! NOW OPEN LATER FOR YOUR SHOPPING PLEASURE: Mon-Sat 11-9pm Sun 12-8pm
Here's a handy MAP TO BLUE VELVET!
We accept ALL major credit cards, traveller's checks, the blood of virgins, and good ole cash!
Six-Time Winner "Best Vintage Store" in The Austin Chronicle Readers' Poll
"Blue Velvet: The key words at BV are 'inexpensive' and 'reasonably priced.' For more than a decade, this mom-and-daughter team has outfitted Austin's creative types in the smartest vintage duds at prices even lowly Chronicle editors could afford."--The Austin Chronicle Kitsch & Vintage Guide
Blue Velvet has been in business for 13 years as a mom-n-daughter-owned vintage clothing store, although mom and daughter are no longer speaking. Ha ha! Just kidding!
Our aim is to provide extremely affordable and wearable vintage clothing for men, women and kids. NEW! We now carry a variety of very cool local, hand-made lines of accessories, jewelry, t-shirts, and scented soy candles--all of which make great gifts!
We are friendly and helpful, but laid-back to the point of comatoseness. We never ask "if you found everything you were looking for." We like to leave you to shop in peace! But if you need to find that special something--like an outfit to wear to your '70s-themed bat mitzvah, or whatnot--we are pleased as punch to be of service.
New! Now more parking on San Antonio Street, from MLK to 24th Streets, one block west behind Blue Velvet! Free after 5:30 pm and on weekends.
