How Sweet It Was Vintage

Always fun to stop in and see what they have to offer.Unfortunately, we don't fare well there with vintage sizing being what it is.

HSIW has a special place in my heart. I absolutely love this store and have found myself buying more and more pieces from here as vintage clothing is typically better constructed than clothing today. I appreciate that the items/pieces they sell are thoughtfully picked - I hate to say it but too many vintage/antique stores are just crammed with garbage. HSIW is a pleasurable shopping experience - spacious, amazing selection, organized. Shop workers are happy to help with suggestions to, for example how to wear a certain item or how to care/wash clothing. Prices vary here - items can be as low as $5-10 or $100s of dollars. I feel the prices are quite reasonable; I would say most items range between $30-$150. One of my favorite things are the themed Sunday weekly instagram live sales (shop girls!). They started this during the pandemic and have kept it going ever since. I have always been into history and these live sales have actually taught me how to identify pieces from different eras. I know this educational bit wasn't the intention of the show but it has really elevated my knowledge on history (and fashion - I can now identify what historical fashion trends influence fashion of today). HSIW is a store with heart and soul. I recommend it to anyone who likes to thrift or buy vintage. Definitely worth checking out!

If you're looking for vintage items from various eras then definitely start your search here! This shop has it all and it's really organized and curated quite well! The price point is fair too. Needs something from the 30s? They've got you covered. 50s and 60s! They have that too. Literally every decade is packed into this little shop of treasures. Even goodies from the 90s.

Enjoyed our recent shopping visit to this cute vintage boutique. Shopping during a pandemic is not high on our list, however, they currently offer a private shopping experience by reservation only where you have the store to yourself. It was wonderful & they had a very nice selection full of unique finds. They also offer online shopping & make it so easy to either pick up directly from them or ship to you. I'm so glad we happened to be in town & could check out out. We will definitely be back on future visits.

Adore this shop!!! Bought a sweet pink perfect condition lace 60s style dress for a fancy occasion. Everything in the store was organized well and almost all in great condition. The woman working there was friendly and helpful. Happy with my purchase and experience. If you love vintage you've got to come through here.

Quaint, classy and one of a kind this Tucson gem sits right off 6th & 4th Ave. Specializing in vintage apparel, jewelry, shoes and other trinkets frozen in time for both men & women. They have a surprisingly satisfying selection of everything! It will not disappoint. This location participates in buying vintage clothing as well. So bring your collection down and let the staff take a gander. Employees are super friendly and accomodating. Dressing rooms available. Closed on Mondays!

Tucson is known for their many vintage and thrift shops, don't believe me? Just google "Tucson, AZ" and read the little bio! HSIW Vintage is one of the best curated, and true to era vintage shops in town!Often times when people think of vintage, they think of dirty and old... and this couldn't be further from the truth! The entire shop is completely well organized (mostly by era, but also by themes) and squeaky clean! I love the attention to detail on every mannequin, and seeing the styled looks they create! Their staff is also extremely helpful. I messaged them through social media to find out if they carried vintage pajamas for a pajama party I am attending this upcoming weekend. Not only do they have plenty in stock (and DEADSTOCK no less, aka brand new or unworn), they pulled tons of pieces aside for me around my size, before I came in store! When I arrived in store, they were prepared with around 10 pieces at least, for me to try on and ready to see if I needed additional help! Thank you for your awesome service, and helping me out. I found a beautiful baby blue set from around the 50's I believe, with a long sleep dress and a sheer overlay robe! GORGEOUS.All of the pieces are true to their era, and priced to match! All pricing is completely reasonable and reflects the conditions of the items. They are constantly having sales as well, so make sure to check the rack, I took home a couple $5 items as well! How Sweet It Is, at How Sweet It Was! (That joke was awful, but if I didn't make this joke... I just wouldn't be Hannah. So you're welcome!)

I love this store, I always find something I want. They have such a wide variaty of clothing, from diffrent time periods, and places. I love to buy dresses here, they have stuff you won't find anywhere else.The down side is they are a bit expensive, for a second hand shop. But really they have high quality items, I can't shop here every day, but once in a while its fun to pick up one or two great finds.

I love how friendly the service is, when you walk in they are ready to help you find what you need. In this case my teenage sister was looking for a prom dress and although we didn't find what she was looking for, it was sure fun trying to find it! Every decade of fashion is covered here and everything is authentic. None of those cheaply made costumes here, these are actual articles of clothing that you would have seen someone wearing in each respective decade. In the backroom they have really old costumes that you need to ask for assistance to look at and try on. The dressing rooms are cute with satin curtains to cover your back bumps. They also have any accessories you would need, from hats to scarves and jewelry. Some things you just might want to buy to wear everyday!

I was in Tucson for a few days and love finding local vintage gems. This store was recommended to me by another shop owner on 4th street. What a find! I purchased two incredible dresses, that I will forever treasure. They were clean and almost new. The attendant was extremely knowledgable about the decade, designer, history. Made my Tucson trip!PS: I wore the dresses during my stay in AZ and received tons of compliments.
