ABOUT US

Brooklyn Woke Vintage is a sustainable company recycling happiness while saving the planet. 

What began as a store remodel, thrifting ended up becoming my favorite activity. My other love is reuniting customs with their long lost love for nostalgia.

Brooklyn Woke Vintage was established in 2020 after a traumatic life-changing divorce. I wanted to make a difference and make myself happy. So I followed my passion for recycling and began buying back my childhood. Filled up the shop with nostalgia from the 1980’s to 2000s. This shop is now my happy place. Hope it becomes yours too.

Join us at Bryant Park for our annual Pop-Up shop. Starting Oct 24 - Jan 4.|
This will be my 21 year at the Holiday Market. Hope to see you there…Open to close 10AM-9PM @ BP

I primarily concentrate on used collectibles from the 70's to 2000’s. Some of the products I hunt are refurbished Polaroid cameras, 35mm, 8mm cameras, brass decor, typewriters, license plates, Life magazines, comics, sealed Playboys.

You can find epic toys (sold without original) packaging such as Viewmasters & reels, 90's Ty Beany Babies, Cabbage Patch dolls, Teddy Ruxpin, Trolls, Furbies, Toy Story, GI Joe, Star Wars Figures, LJN/JAKKS wrestling figures, and more!

We also offer vintage sports gear such as baseball mitts, baseballs, wood bats, wood tennis racquets and wax pack baseball cards.

Music memorabilia is HUGE in Brooklyn. Used vinyl and cassettes also make great wall decor and stocking stuffers. 

Customers often say my shop is a treasure trove of happiness waiting to be re-discovered. 

Recycling is my objective - sustainability is my drive.

From Brooklyn with Love...
