What's on the wall
“Literally anything I'm looking for, be it a gift for someone or a treat for myself, can be found here, from vintage to antiques, jewelry, art, and woodwork.”
From the reviews
When you think vintage, think The Brighton Emporium. I have never seen such a well curated, multi-vendor collection in my life! Whether you want to find a gift or are looking out for your own collection, this place has vintage clothing, books, jewelry, records, posters, movie & tv collectors items, and newly created…
The Brighton Emporium is like a curated vintage mall all in one store. Rather than spending hours thrifting, you can go there for as many things as you can think of! From small scale things like books, crystals, rocks, ephemera up to large beautiful one of a kind art pieces for any home.
Cool small shop packed full of highly curated vintage clothes, antiques, and local artists. Around every corner of the shop there are artisan displays of local pottery, woodwork, original art, and handmade jewelry. I spent a solid hour vibing to the music and discovering possibly the best neighborhood shop in Boston.
Absolutely love The Brighton Emporium! This store is a true gem in the heart of the city. They have an incredible selection of vintage clothing that takes you back in time, and their antiques are simply stunning. I also found some unique art pieces and beautifully crafted items that are perfect for gifts.
Selling or trading gear at The Brighton Emporium
The Brighton Emporium comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
