Like Record Store Day and Stationary Store Day, Vintage Store Day provides an opportunity for local, brick and mortar businesses to lift up these beloved specialty stores, boost sales and celebrate their communities. Vintage Store Day is founded by Chicago-based Lost Girls and Rare Form. For a complete list of participating stores, or to sign-up your business, visit shoprareform.com/vsd.
 
Vintage Store Day co-founder and Rare Form owner Emma Lewis comments, "This has been a real grassroots effort to unite vintage stores across the country. Vintage encompasses a lot, including clothing, home decor, and art – but most of all an appreciation for reuse, upcycling and preservation. During the pandemic, when the supply chains shut down and no one could buy furniture from the big box stores, many turned to buying vintage from their communities and in doing so kept that money in their local economy. While the circumstances are different now, the benefits are still the same: we can preserve and appreciate the past while supporting our local economy and our neighborhood businesses. I believe people are championing these values now more than ever and that’s why we have a thriving vintage community, which deserves a day of celebration."
