Ermine Vintage

Nice staff, great genuine pieces but prices were a bit high. Got a members only jacket for 28 and the boot selection was phenomenal. Friendly staff.

Well curated and I usually find a great item when I shop there but always get treated like shit. Spent $ 25.00 more there today and more bad attitude. I think I’ll spend my money where my business is appreciated.

Top notch! Great selection of true vintage. Very fair pricing, some really great deals. I found the staff to be very helpful-​they really know their stuff! Highly recommended for vintage aficionados.

Loved this place! Def the superior of the vintage shops on North Lp. All of the clothes & shoes are nicely organized by size. The dressing rooms are room-​y and the lighting is adequate.
I didn’t see a bunch of crappy old sweatshirts or lame clothing. EV is definitely selective of their pieces. They had so many cool T-​shirts! I only bought 1 awesome sleeveless tee. I would have bought a couple more, but I felt the pries were a bit high. I found an awesome Puma tshirt that was 40 $! Eeek! Sadly, I had to pass… They also have a huge cowboy boot selection!

Very well curated selection women’s clothing, pants and suits. Small selection and even smaller selection of men’s clothes, but good and thoughtfully chosen. Good range of cowboy boots and nice handbags. Very nice person at register.

I saw a purse posted on Facebook from Ermine that I absolutely needed (a vintage purse with kitties!). I messaged and asked if it could be shipped to me in Seattle, and it was ! Definitely the place to go for one of a kind and or vintage fun stuffs!

You’re not going to believe this.
I was walking around on North Loop, minding my business, thinking about how done I am with extraneous shopping because I have everything I need, and I really just need to focus on the things I already have, when all of a sudden this place called Ermine freaking grew arms, reached out, and yanked me into it’s warm, wonderfully-​populated thrifty belly. I have to catch my breath remembering the horror.
So’s I’m in there, right? And I figure, let me do the best I can do while I’m in this haven of terrifically-​priced vintage apparel, wondering how they afford the rent with most dress tags right around $ 22. Maybe I got the belt I have been looking for all my life: a well-​made, vertical shell cascade accentuating my waist ($ 14). Silver rope chain earrings, $ 16. A silver garnet and opal ring, $ 16. What do you do in this situation? I’m from Jersey; I had to defend myself. I tried on some dresses but they didn’t quite work out, and then push came to shove and I did what was right in this battle of good vs tag-​popping. The belt, the earrings, the ring: they are mine. Let me go, Ermine — I do what I want!
And then (because no review is useful without some MacGuyvering) I had to get those silver earrings clean. You ever wonder if there’s some localized experiment you could run in your kitchen to accomplish such a feat? Do you enjoy dorktastic, chemical compound magic? Here it is, kids:
. Just in case you’re ever minding your business on North Loop and get caught in the trap.

Great selection of clothing and accessories! Real laid back, friendly atmosphere. The staff was nice and was extremely helpful. Cool and nice place to shop.

I love this store! It’s my Dad and my official place to shop together in Austin when I visit the ‘rents. He gets himself some of the vintage men’s button-​up shirts and I get whatever I want (within reason of course, thanks Dad!) :) :). They have a great selection of clothes, jewelry, shoes, and bags, all very reasonably priced. Maybe someday they’ll sell Dad the «most comfortable chair in the world» that the owner sits in when he is there. We’ll keep coming back until that happens ;)

Great Austin vintage, super nice people, awesome collection …

I want to love this place but get treated like crap every time I’m in there. Today she yelled at me so loud when I asked for a three dollar discount that I left practically in tears. I will keep giving my money to Room Service and Hog Wild who make me feel like my business is appreciated. I like nice people to get my money. You’ve lost what would have been a great customer. I really wanted that dress but not bad enough to give you anything. This is two bad experiences in a row. Bummer.

During our afternoon of vintage store shopping, we stopped in here for a quick glance. After my fellow shoppers were done shopping for themselves, they let me have my fun trying on interesting outfits. I almost forgot I was shopping with 2 dudes because they are more like girls. These guys get way too excited trying on clothes and seeing the vintage outfits I tried on. Gotta love them!
The best part about their clothing selection is that they are organized in modern day sizes. Also, many actual wearable, everyday things that are priced very reasonable and in excellent condition. I had my fun trying on 60s and 70s dresses that had supposedly never been worn. My favorite dress I tried on made me feel like I had been transported back in time… in the time I SHOULD have been living in.
Their selection may be smaller than the other vintage shops in the neighborhood, but they’re unique offerings are better and very decently priced for the incredible condtion they are in.

This place is fantastic. There is a great selection of vintage and re-​tooled items offered at very affordable prices. There is a wide variety of sizes and styles. Worth noting: the clothes are arranged by size, so there is no, «I wish I had 2 less ribs than I currently posess», or «I wish I was bigger» (and YES, I have tried on dresses worth eating for!) I have never left empty-​handed, although that may speak more to my shopping ‘situation’ (It’s not a problem, I can quit any time!) than the store’s inventory. Almost everything in there is fashionable, which is a claim not many vintage stores can make. It’s not crowded or cluttered, which can be dizzying in a small store. There is a good selection of accessories and jewelry, also amicably priced. Alright, I’ve talked myself into it, *off to Ermine*

I realize that I have a disproportionate amount of 5 star reviews but perhaps that is just because I am only moved to write by greatness.
I usually have a lot of trouble at vintage stores, and I almost always leave them feeling depressed about myself. I am a busty size 12, and apparently in in the 60’s I would have been a busty size 24 or something because I can almost never find clothes at vintage stores that fit.
Not so at Ermine Vintage. This place is seriously Rad. The clothes are all grouped together according to MODERN DAY SIZES (yess!!!) and there was quite a bit of good stuff in my size range. The quality of the clothes is not totally pristine but a missing button here or a slight stain there isn’t much to worry about when getting really unique clothing because of
THE PRICES!!! they are so low. like really really low.
I got the cutest 1970’s polyester print dress there. A) It fit me. B) it made me look pretty C) it was easy to find D) it was $ 26, and in perfect condition.
Awesome.
Go to this store. Keep it open. It’s a total affordable treasure chest.
