King Size Vintage opened in Rione Monti in 2012 and after closing his location in the students’ area of San Lorenzo has renewed his stored making it bigger. The new shop is beautifully done and browsing is fun cause the owners have resisted the vintage-store temptation of completely cramming it . The focus is on items from ’80 and ’90 and prices are very interesting. Obviously the offer is constantly changing, but colorful silk shirts and leather bags are always there. Stock up on retro and kitsch items from the 60s, 70s and 80s at Pulp. Find inspiration from old Valentino clothing so rare that prices head up! The shop also sells its own brand of vintage style pieces; the owner Fabrizio personally sews and creates many of the clothes. They may be old items that are recondition or even readjusts in a different perspective and a different function, such as sweatshirts of the 70 that have now become tops. Unfortunately the selection of menswear is very poor. But for women this shop is great to bring a touch of “classic” to the wardrobe.

Now head over to Via del Governo Vecchio (behind Piazza Navona) enjoy the famous vintage street. It can get busy and crowded especially on the weekends so go early in the morning if you can. There are many places to make sure you check out first of all the famous Cinzia.  Back in the 80s her shop was a landmark Rockers, Rockabilli, Wavers, etc… today you can find various dresses, military or leather jackets, and other types of clothes, this store is a well stocked shop with a large range of shoes; here you will find every single kind of shoes: sports shoes, pumps and different types of high and low heels.
