Editorial Review for Via's Vintage – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
The "Breakfast at Tiffany's" mural sends the message: this is a house of style for Audrey Hepburn's loyal disciples. Via's collection includes top styles in matching condition and prices tend to reflect that. Skinny cocktail dresses, posh cashmere sweaters and sleek suits fashioned by classic designers wait patiently to be taken somewhere fabulous. Twinkly art-deco jewelry and slinky beaded purses spruce up what's already in shoppers' closets.

When I went to Vias, I found it was mostly formal wear which was not what I was looking for. If that is what you want, Vias is great for unique dresses for attending a wedding or a prom. Things are pricey and the staff seemed a little snobby and didn't greet me or say goodbye or thank you. Overall, only a good store if you are looking for a dress that will stand out in a crowd at a formal event.

Pros: good selection for formal wear, good quality

Cons: high prices, snobby staff

I also love that the dresses are by waist size. I was able to find a dress for a formal occasion and it fit like it was made for me. (I had someone stop me at the event and say I looked like Aubrey Hepburn!) The dress I picked out was full length and all raw silk for under $100. This is less than alterations on other dressses. A great place if you are hard to fit or like colors and styles out of the ordinary. Oh, and the service was incredible, I was there when someone was picking out her wedding dress. We both got attention even though there was only one person there. LOVE THIS PLACE!

Pros: service , selection, condition of items

Cons: need more casual item
