Pifebo
Via dei Serpenti, 135 & 141 (Monti), Via dei Valeri, 10 (San Giovanni)
pifebo.com
With three stores across Rome, Pifebo really knows what they’re doing. This is the best source for vintage leather goods, shoes, bags, and clothes. The quality is fantastic, and the range spans from the 60’s to 80’s, but they specialize in items from the 1970s. The menswear selection is definitely one of the best in Rome, particularly for jackets. They also have their own range of vintage inspired sunglasses, which complete an outfit from head to toe.

kingsize.vintage
Full of fabulous finds, this well thought vintage shop in Rome makes it easy to imagine complete outfits- 70’s flares and shoes are irresistibly displayed together. King Size has an envious collection of vintage sunglasses, Pucci and friends displayed in glass cases and the choice of men’s accessories is vast.
Pulp Vintage
Via del Boschetto, 15/A (Monti)
pulpvintage
If you are a lover of chic feminine vintage pieces this quirky little boutique needs to be on your list. The shop is neat and colourful and the hand selected pieces are true to the theme. So, expect to find wild prints, bright silk blouses, velvety suede trousers from an array of budget friendly labels amongst a slew of high-end fashion designers. Though this sexy little shop primarily houses women’s fashion, there’s also a small selection for men near the back. Either way stop in for a visit and Fabio the shop owner will be thrilled to help you find your perfect piece. What we especially love about Pulp is that before selling to the public, Fabio graciously repairs and restores all of his chosen gems to immaculate condition.
Sitenne
Via Cairoli, 55 (Esquilino)
sitenne.com
Vintage clothing shop and costume lab Sitenne awaits those who seek treasure troves of retro-ware, wool, leather, jewelry and lace. But it can be best described as a “creativity lab” as it provides an array of other services including the renting out of costumes for theater and film production, creative collaboration for such productions and an in-house tailoring service. Sitenne accepts clothing from individuals who would like to sell their items and both the store and the individual takes a portion of the earnings.

powdervintageshop
Tucked in Monti, Powder may look small from the outside, but inside it’s a treasure trove.

Add to that original Missoni knits from the 70s and 80s and rare Diesel pieces from the early 2000s, and you’ve got a mix that’s both nostalgic and fashion-forward. The prices are fair, the finds surprising.

This store packs in more than initially meets the eye. The ceiling displays the more unique and special items, and not a single amount of wall goes uncovered.

ilmercatinodelborghettoflaminio
A more upscale type of Flea Market, Borghetto Flaminio is a mesh of vintage items, second-hand designer brands and household antiques.

Held every Sunday, Borghetto Flaminio is located just a few stops away from Piazza del Popolo and is a nice change from the chaotic weekend traffic on Via del Corso.
Porta Portese
Via Portuense (Trastevere)
Porta Portese along Via Portuense in Trastevere is open every Sunday and is generally considered Rome’s most extensive and famous flea market.
