OMG DYING. I went in today just to browse, and ended up staying for 25 minutes looking at everything.
Merchandise: Fashion nerds will love Garment. It's about an 85/15 mix of vintage and new, with some really show stopping vintage finds. These are definitely not clothes you'd find while thrifting. Some of my favorites: A 'surrealist 50s bralette' with silk (satin?) hand appliques over mesh cups, An eggplant 1920s gown with art deco beading, and several silk kimonos, in prints so perfect they made me want to cry. Every piece features amazing details-- there's a lot of beading, embroidery, hand-dying, and architectural structure going on. (Anyone with an interest in garment construction or history will have a field day here.) The best part is that this store completely skips anything too costumey, so, with the exception of some very cool but avante-garde pieces I couldn't pull off, I wanted to wear EVERYTHING. I really can't stress enough how spot on the curation is.
Prices: Pretty much market price for what you're getting. I shop vintage online frequently, and I can tell you that you'll probably pay less here than on ebay for the same thing. (Garment does end up being higher than most vintage stores in Austin, but like... you'll understand when you see it.) The cheapest tops started around 30-50, and there were plenty of separates under 100. Furs, leathers, and designer dresses range from 150 to 1000+
Service: The owner, Masha, was super friendly and helpful! I'll definitely go back when my budget allows.
