Barrio Vintage grand re-opening
Looming hurricanes could not deter dozens of loyal Barrio Vintage fans from celebrating the boutique’s grand re-opening this past Friday.
Chinatown’s only curated vintage clothing boutique has been in business for almost three years and recently relocated to the historic Mark’s Building, having outgrown its old digs across the street. “The new store is much more spacious, inviting and bright,” owner Bradley Rhea said.
My spidey sense for vintage treasurers was on high alert; I found a Louis Vuitton monogram handbag with the white and orange features; a 1960s acid floral body-con dresses; classic tiki Rockabilly aloha shirts; and a disco-style baby blue dress with silver embellishments.
Barrio Vintage has an arsenal of vintage treasures curated from Rhea’s epic buying trips and exclusive resources here in Hawaii. The reputation of this little shop has grown – I’m glad the prices haven’t.
