The Vintage Collective

The Vintage Collective is a new vintage shop in historic downtown Palmetto. Melanie Kim is Owner and Operator and is chasing her dreams to build a business around her passion for vintage. Melanie moved to SW Florida in 2013 from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her interest in vintage began when she turned 18. She began her selling journey through online platforms as a side business but missed the face to face connections with people and being a part of a community. She is excited to bring her ever growing knowledge of vintage and treasures to Manatee County. We can't wait for people to find fun and stylish fashion, home decor, vintage glass, art and more! The shop features quality makers like The Dreaded Mermaid, S&B Soapery, Courtney Eiseman Crochet, and Wreaths by Debbie. “We are excited to join the robust community of small businesses, specifically in the vintage market. There is amazing vintage from all over the world right here in our community. We hope you'll come and shop!” -Melanie
