Adorable, but pricey!! Just be prepared! Wonderful curated collection and just a joy to browse. Not my personal style, but almost feels like a museum! Definitely stop by if you’re in the area.

This is combined with an old bookstore. The books are neatly categorized, no problem going straight to the section that interests you.

My favorite vintage store owned by one of my now favorite people! I wondered in the store one day and have been back every month ever since. This store has quality vintage clothing and the owner Jess is a treasure! Every piece of clothing I have bought from the store has been so special to me and I always receive compliments on how unique my finds are. Jess has great taste and great recommendations. She has helped me improve my style over time. Stop by, you won’t be disappointed! The clothing, owner, and atmosphere are all special and it’s a great experience! Support local. Support small businesses. Also, supporting vintage supports global sustainability efforts!
You’re the best, Natalie! Seeing you always brightens my day. And I can’t thank you enough for your continued support of me and my shop 🙏💕 You are an Angel! 🦋

Jess James & Co. is truly a “one of a kind”shopping experience. It’s the most cozy and beautiful vintage shop you’ll ever walk in to. Jess is always the most welcoming, she’s playing some great vinyl, and she’s right there to help you, style you, and find you the perfect piece of vintage. I’ve had so much fun over the years in her shop and found some amazing vintage.
Thank you, Carly! Made my day seeing these beautiful photos again 💐💞

I first ventured into JJ + Co almost two years ago - needless to say it was love at first sight! Jess is a master vintage curator and one of the sweetest souls I’ve met. She goes above and beyond to accommodate clients. Whether it’s styling you for an event or texting when she finds new vintage goodies that align with you taste. If you haven’t visited, you’re missing out. Without a doubt my favorite vintage shop on earth 💞 Thank you Jess for creating JJ + Co. - it’s an asset to the Wilmington community. Xoxo
You just made my day, Kelli! Thank you so much for this incredibly kind and generous review. Sure hope I get to see you very soon 💞

Visiting Jess James + Co. is more than shopping, it is an delightful experience. For me, it is a walk down memory lane but also a quantum leap into the past beyond my years. Making the appointment is worth it and one visit is not enough because you always fine something that you did not see the first time. The service is great and so is the music.
Thanks so much, Alice! I love when you come to the shop 💞

(Edit) Thank you for your quick response and information on when to visit, so sorry to have left a negative review. I look forward to visiting. Thank you again .
We are open by appointment during the week and open to the public on Saturdays Noon to 5pm. There is no option on Google for info on appointments. All this info is on our Instagram @jessjames.co and on our door. Sad you couldn’t message us before leaving a negative review. It’s tough enough to be a small retail business right now 💙
