Vintage Shop: Vestiti Usati Cinzia

Cinzia vintage shop
I've began to notice that Roma is full of interesting little boutiques that sells everything from clothes, shoes to accessories. It's so hard to resist the urge to buy everything I see! One of the stores I visited this week was Vestiti Usati Cinzia or just simply Cinzia. This store is actually where Tram Tracks gets the majority of our crazy outfits. If you want to see more of the funky retro fashion that you saw on the tour then Cinzia is your place.


My first impression of the store was that it was too cluttered. There was just so much going on, the colorful dresses, shiny leather purses and jackets. I didn't know where to start looking, but luckily I met Ghigo and he was kind enough to show my the lay of the land. Cinzia is a family shop that started in 1980. Cinzia, the owner of the shop, along with her husband Elio, daughter Martina and Ghigo run the shop. Here at Cinzia there is a fun, eclectic and diverse inventory of 1950's-80's apparel and accessories.
Cinzia is located by Piazza Navona on Via Del Governo Vecchio 45. They're open Monday to Saturday from 10am-8pm and Sunday from 2pm-8pm. The shop not only sells unique vintage items, but they also rent their clothing for events. Each item is guaranteed to be high quality because Cinzia hand picks everything! After spending about an hour in the shop I was able to get a few tips on vintage shopping from Ghigo and I also walked away with a new vintage leather purse for only 30 euros, what a steal! Cinzia is a must visit for anyone who is fond of vintage shopping.
