Philadelphia's Best Offbeat Store

Treats (not tricks) sparkle from a covert trove of bejeweled treasures.

Reviews:

• “Avoid custom work if you want it done on time.”
• “Beautiful Custom Designed Engagement Ring”
• “Wish I had Listened”
• “An Exercise in Frustration”
• “Unfortunately not a great experience”

Tips: Though David waits on customers, directs a staff of artisans and assistants and creates his own designs, he always finds time to make mates for single earrings.

Halloween

Sassy vintage boutique that’s as fun to dig into as a general store.

Reviews:

• “BEST vintage store in Philly!”
• “Immature, disrespectful Worker”
• “Friendly staff, great stuff, huge variety”
• “best of philly”

Tips: The shop is just too small to fit all of Cardellino’s treasures. If you can’t find what you seek, ask about the stable storage unit in Queen Village.

Blendo

With this vintage-clothing spot, you’ll never have to dig through bins at a thrift store again.

Reviews:

• “Staff has attitude”
• “goodness oh my oh my”
• “Retroshopping made new”
• “so-so”
• “Huh?”

Tips: This shop benefits charity, but does not accept donations. Instead, bring goods to the South Philly Goodwill, at Front and Shunk.
