Such an amazing little store. We've been multiple times over the last year or so and there is always something new to see. They have TONS of vintage clothes, alternative brands (Hell Bunny, Foxblood, ect.) and oddities. The staff is very sweet and willinging to help. Also very knowledgeable about the correct way to wear and style vintage clothing which I love! Overall 10/10 vibes ❤️

While its been a few years since I've visited Abernathys, I always LOVE going to this store when I am in town. The aesthetic is top notch, they have some of the best brands for funky people like me, and the employees are always so kind and knowledgeable. I hope to go back to the midwest to visit them again soon!!!

First time here and OMG I am in love! Vintage clothes, witchy accessories, stickers, purses, sunglasses. We looked through the store twice, and I'm sure we still didn't see everything.

First time there, drove an hr and a half, and was made to feel right at home. Great place for some cool vintage wear, the gal behind counter was awesome! Gave us the scoop on more local vintage shops, very knowledgeable about items in store. Overall will be back.

This place is cutting edge eclectic with broad ranging styles and tastes! The whole store gives off a personification of the invidual sort of niche. The salesperson deserves snaps for achieving that right blend of attentiveness for the size of this shop! (I'm Hispanic and normally followed around as I shop. One time caught this chubby lil' woman staring at me from behind a popcorn popper! Guess sge didn't think I'd see her through the GLASS! Duh! 🤣🙄) I digress. She checked on us and went back to working on what she needed to tend to. The rooms are all filled with everything interesting, everything worthy of browsing. If you go, be prepared to spend a good amount of time shopping!
We should give you 5 stars for this killer review! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop in and then review us. We really appreciate the kind words and the 5 stars :) hope to see you in the store again soon. Thanks!! - Red

It's.. AMAZING! One of the most unique, and darkly charming retro "rag and bone" shops this side of the Mississippi. From clothing, apparel, oddities, collectables, and decor. They have quite a bit to look thu. The staff, and Owners are just as Rad, and unique as the store itself. Wonderful to talk to. Answered any and all questions I had. Will absolutely be going again.. and again lol
THANKS ERIK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
