Flower Child

Spent over an hour here and didn't even see half of it. Furniture, jewelry, shoes, clothing, art, advertising, fur, leather....i just can't stop. So much to look over.I certainly will be back to explore this unique treasure of a store. I will note...it is categorized as a thrift store but it is definitely more a vintage store. I had a hard time finding a t-shirt under $30

"Welcome in, do you need help finding anything?""Yeah, actually, do you know where I can find three copies of the April 1974 issue of Playboy in near-mint condition?""Sure, take a look over--""I'm also looking for an authentic Herman Miller Eames chair in surprisingly good condition for, like, $2000 less than they retail for now.""Uh, very specific, but--" "And how about a definitely-not-cursed monkey toy with eyes that pierce to the darkest depths of my soul?""You're never going to believe this..."Flower Child is not the only vintage store in Columbus, but I contend that it is the one with the greatest, best-curated collection and the most character. The folks that run it have great taste, and nowhere else will you find the care and effort they put into staging their finds.They have thousands of items of every kind, from vintage leather goods (the only ethical way to buy leather these days, IMO) to clothing spanning four or more decades, an ever-rotating vinyl offering and collectible Americana from a time when things were made to last. You could visit a dozen times and still find new things to tempt your wallet.Don't go expecting thrift store prices, but do go with the intention of bringing home a well-preserved little piece of history and adding character to your home from a time gone by. Pro tip: the first time you go, you'll get a 15% off coupon at checkout that you can reuse on every subsequent visit (they condone this, and whatever they lose by giving a 15% discount each time they more than make up in repeat customers). They seem to get new stock in at irregular intervals, so if you're like me and you're always adding to your collection, drop in from time to time and save each visit. I go about once a month.Pro-er tip: Fox in the Snow & Seventh Son are both just a short walk away. Nothing better than following up your archaeological dig with a brew of some persuasion!

The moment I stepped through the door, someone was complaining about the establishment and how the workers wouldn't let them try out the potential couch they'd like to buy. As I was looking around the store, I noticed everything (and I mean literally everything) was WAY overpriced. I'm a veteran thrift store shopper, and my jaw dropped. They have a lot of unique and interesting pieces of clothing and items, although you will be paying a pretty penny for legit anything. I wouldn't waste your time stopping here. It's not your traditional antique store. It's an antique store that capitalizes on overpricing items and selling them to people who have no idea the worth of what they're buying for such an extreme price. The staff wasn't friendly, either. Don't waste your time.

Was really excited to check this store out and was disappointed with how high the prices are. Really cool stuff and nice selection of vintage items, but the prices were shocking. I shop at vintage & antique stores all over the eastern US and wouldn't recommend that anyone drive to Columbus to visit this store unless you like to overpay.

This place is ridiculously overpriced. You would be way better off going to Goodwill, Ohio, thrift, or volunteers of America. They have the same things for 90% less money.

I had so much fun browsing the different eras of the store! It's two levels and beautifully organized by time periods. I wanted to buy so many things, unfortunately a lot of this stuff is overpriced. I do think if you're hunting for a particular item, you will definitely find it here!

Absolutely love this place, so many goodies and a great place to spend hours in. I can find something new to look at every time I visit.

The amount of amazing pieces from clothing, to furniture, lighting and home decor is staggering. This is the best vintage store I've set foot in. I wish I had a spare 15 grand and a shipping container to send everything back home with me.. Incredibly well curated and presented....Had to edit this post and come back to respond to the one star reviews? Compared to major cities this place is easily 30-40 percent cheaper for many items. An almost perfect condition denim jacket for 50 bucks?!?! 70's to 90's vintage shirts for 35-50 bucks?? in NYC or LA they would be in the hundreds range, and modern recreations for two to four hundred. Comparing a place like this to GoodWill is laughable. you would have to spend days and visits multiple Goodwill locations to MAYBE score something special. Just the selection and variety of lighting in this place is next level. Don't listen to the one star reviews, they probably wouldn't know what good taste was if it smacked them across their faces.

We loved this place. So clean, organized, and has the most unique finds! They have antique clothes, purses, furniture, and anything you can think of. We were referred here by a family friend- and we loved it. We will definitely be back.

What a fun place. Brought me right back to my parents and grandparents houses in the 70s. Worth a visit even just to get that warm comfy feel. Love it!
