Uniqulee

Gentrification is so real. I just walked into the store and rather than being asked politely “hi, would you mind using some hand sanitizer?” I was just sort of like motion to the hand sanitizer, which is an interesting request. Since it’s an unusual ask I naturally paused. Then the white employee spoke to me like I couldn’t speak English simply saying “sanitizer.” What an interesting choice of Customer Service.

I had the pleasure of visiting Uniqulee in Chinatown last week, and as a tourist from Germany, I was absolutely charmed by this lovely vintage shop. The selection of unique products is truly special things we rarely come across in our everyday stores. The two young ladies who assisted me were incredibly polite and welcoming, making my experience even more memorable. They took such care in beautifully packing my purchase, which I greatly appreciated. When I visit New York again, I will definitely return to this wonderful shop. Thank you for such a delightful experience!

We had a wonderful experience at this shop. We were just looking for vintage watches and stopped in. We found a vintage ysl tie and the price was a steal! Stop by if you are in the area!

Beautiful little shop with a lovely selection of vintage items that have been carefully selected . Staff was very nice and will definitely be back again. . A lovely gem amongst all the overly aggressive tourist nyc shops down there in that area . This place was very refreshing and unique .

lovee this store so much! I stumbled upon it randomly and bought the cutest sweetheart bracelet. the employees are so sweet and knowledgeable about everything they sell. i loved that each piece was thoughtfully curated and had a unique story behind it. i will definitely be back for some more goodies! this is a perfect place to look for unique gifts for loved ones

Was the most absolutely beautiful antique store that I have ever been to omg. I have a nick for victorian era items and jewelry, and I was excited when I found gold rings that were a percentage of 10k gold, that the owner said were from atleast the early 1900s, but after doing the slightest research coming home, they were off by 40-50 years, which kind of upset me. I thought that would be a one-time thing, but seeing the reviews did help me see that it's just a thing with the place and the owner. I guess I'm not the only person that she lied about the period if the pieces to. I love my cradle craft costume jewelry 5% 10k gold rings though, I just wouldn't advise getting them bc even with a discount, they were quite pricey.

Came here to see if any of the reviews mirrored my experience, and am genuinely relieved to see that the store owner is just /like/ that (openly hostile and unkind, like your worst relative at Thanksgiving, except it's a stranger in a kitschy antique shop) and that it's not just me. If you need to feel something, I highly recommend you come here because the shop owner WILL try and make you cry.

This place tried to charge me sales tax on clothing items under $110 NY state law says otherwise. The employees then argued and were extremely rude and obnoxious. Do not come here!!! Half of the items are not even real or antique. Complete scam!
