East Nashville is the place to start: 9 of the 14 vintage shops in Nashville Guru’s vintage and consignment guide, updated April 24, 2025, are there (Nashville Guru). The guide describes The Hip Zipper as backing up “its reputation as Nashville’s top vintage destination.” High Class Hillbilly carries Americana and Western wares, from boots and hats to leather and fringe, curated by owner Nikki Lane. Garage Sale Vintage, in East Nashville and downtown, pairs vintage shopping with a full bar and tacos. Outside East Nashville, the guide names Savant Vintage in 12 South, Starland Vintage on 8th Ave South, and Bits & Pieces in Germantown. The guide is from 2025, so check that a shop is still open before you go.
