Moore Vintage Archive

Moore Vintage is my favorite vintage store ever. Their collection is impeccably curated - many top designers. The shop feels like a perfect blend of a museum and a cozy living room. Some of my all-time favorite pieces come from here—I find something to love every time I visit. The team is very sweet and knowledgeable.

I needed a special dress for my 30th birthday party just 3 days before (no time to order something or get it altered) and went straight to Moore. Keesean pulled a bunch of options for me and I left with this insane, one of a kind sequin gown that, according to legend, came from the closet of a mysterious starlet. It fit like a glove. I felt so special wearing this dress. Thank you, Keesean!!!

Moore Vintage Archive is a treasure trove for fashion lovers—not just a vintage shop, but a meticulously curated collection of rare and archival designer pieces. Every item feels intentionally selected, with a mix of avant-garde, high fashion, and timeless classics that make it a dream for collectors and enthusiasts alike. I finally got my hands on an archive Issey Miyake Fête piece I’d coveted since seeing it on the runway, and it was absolutely perfect for a special event this month. No other retailer in the U.S. (that I know of) carries as much Issey Miyake as Moore does, and knowing this is my business! Their selection of iconic and hard-to-find designer pieces is next-level. You’ll find everything from Comme des Garçons to Celine to YSL to Yohji Yamamoto, with an emphasis on wearable art and innovative design. The space itself is intimate and inviting, making for a shopping experience that feels both personal and inspiring. If fashion is your business —editors, stylists, artists, managers— you need to know about this place. It should be in your arsenal of spots to check out, especially during awards season! It’s the kind of place where every visit uncovers something new, and if you love fashion history and statement pieces, it’s dangerously good.

Incredibly curated vintage shop with high quality and often couture pieces. Plenty of shops are full of 90s tee shirts, this one has Parisian cashmere, Italian leather, and more. Just stunning.

One of the best vintage stores in philly. Exceptionally curated, timeless pieces from sought after designers. Better yet is the owner, Keesean Moore, who is simply a lovely person. He’s knowledgeable, stylish, and always on location to help you put looks together and try out pieces. It’s such a gorgeous, cozy little spot with a friendly atmosphere. Definitely stop by play dress up if you’re in the neighborhood!!

The best designer vintage store in Philly by far. The amount of Issey Miyake makes me feel like i'm in a museum exhibit! The owner is extremely nice. I feel comfortable going to browse, which isn't always the case at higher-end vintage stores (that being said, my first Issey piece *will* be bought here). Well curated, a range of well-known and lesser-known designers / brands. Must visit!

There’s a reason this store was named Best of Philly’s High-End Vintage and what an experience I had during my visit. After understanding what I was looking for, the owner Keesean, immediately hand selected some options for me to try on. He took the time to provide feedback, both advantages and disadvantages, on each fitting, while giving some of the history related to each. The selections are wide throughout different eras to suit your individual style, with an even more extensive array on the lower level! I felt confident with my selection at the end of it all, even finding a second item to purchase. If you are tired of the “same old, same old” shopping experience and want to level-up your wardrobe with unique, vintage women’s wear from designers like Issey Miyake and John Paul Gaultier, at a price you can afford, AND with personal styling service, then do yourself a favor and visit Moore Vintage Archive. You will not regret it! I can’t wait to go back.

We were lucky to stumble upon this place over the weekend - Keesean truly has a curated collection of pieces here that will impress anyone who has an interest in fashion. He's also down to earth and professional - looking forward to stopping by again!
