When it comes to fashion, looks from the 70s and 80s always seem to make an epic comeback. From bootcut jeans to baggy jumpers, we all tend to borrow from looks of the past.

Now you can fulfill all of your vintage needs at Magic City Mercantile. They offer various styles of clothing items such as jeans, t-shirts and merchandise. One of the best parts about this shop is its concern with sustainability —all clothes have either been recycled or donated!

Owner Erwin Franklin has always been known as “old school” with his favorite decade being the 90s. When he was given the opportunity to expand his nostalgic shop, he couldn’t take no for an answer.

“The thing I am most looking forward to in the new space is the sense of community that Avondale has. It just feels really good to feel welcomed and to feel like people are happy to have us here.”
