Originally run as a facet of Emil’s Shoe Repairs on Chapel Street, Vintage Sole has evolved into one of Melbourne’s largest boutique vintage stores. Currently boasting three physical locations (Nicholas Building – Melbourne CBD, Brunswick Street – Fitzroy, and Chapel Street – Windsor), an Etsy store, and online store (vintagesole.com.au), Vintage Sole aims to bridge the gap between eccentric retro and on trend vintage clothing, footwear, and accessories. By sourcing product from all over the world, the store maintains a diverse offering of items including: denim jackets, ‘60s dresses, ‘70s flares, Levi’s 501s, corduroy pinafores, overalls, boots, bags, sneakers, tees, men’s shirts, cowboy boots, and leather jackets. Vintage Sole operates as an ethically grounded alternative to fast fashion whilst still providing customers with a highly curated, season appropriate selection of items spanning the ‘50s to the ‘90s.
