Visit Philly: Fashion designer Tory Burch once told us: “Philadelphia is great for vintage shopping. My favorite store is Retrospect. I can always find something unique, and it is relatively inexpensively priced.”
Philly.com: Their accessory and shoe collections are unbeatable, as everything they house is hand selected by the staff. You won’t run into much ‘BS’ here. This is a one and done kind of a place.
