“Lovely little vintage store in downtown New Paltz, NY! I was lucky enough to come across Rock Candy Vintage on a day trip to this cute little town with my boyfriend, and I was impressed with the limited but highly curated selection! They carry mostly women's clothing from the 60's-80's, and have a lovely range of stonewashed denim jackets that would make Madonna proud to cute and quirky minidresses that would look at home on the Mary Tyler Moore Show (okay, I sound old!) Admittedly, Rock Candy Vintage isn't the Goodwill or Savers, and you'll be paying quite a bit for the garments sold here. However, the quality is very good, especially for the items from the 60's and 70's, considering how old the pieces are. Feel free to splurge - it's super worth it, especially when you think about what other vintage stores that sell clothing from the same eras are like, quality wise. If you're ballin' on a budget, check out the affordable selection of unique enamel pins, iron on patches, and feminist-friendly tote bags, all which come in at less that $20, but are equally as fabulous as their pricier cousins across the racks. I can't wait to come back for a dress when I have more money! I guess I'll have to settle for coveting the enamel pin with the TV Dinner on it (I told you, I'm old!) for now!”
“We forgot to pack pajamas and it was 15 minutes until closing. I called the store and they had 3 options in my kid’s size ready at the register. $8.31 and the incredible sales associate Melissa saved the day.”
“Cutest place in New Paltz to buy in- style clothes and jewelry pieces . I have purchased numerous articles of clothing as well as jewelry from them and they are still in great quality after years of being worn. The owner is very sweet as well! Not sure what the negative reviews are about? She is very kind and helpful and we always have a good conversation .”
“The perfect place to find the best, most unique and fitting gift. I've loved this store forever. Don't look any further. If you need a gift- for anyone- anyone- it is in this store. And to top it off they beautifully wrap for you. It's always special at Handmade. Treat yourself to something too. Jewelry, pottery, glassware, wooden items, clothing... So many great possibilities.”
