As a surge of vintage and antique love washes over Gen Z, why not go to the place that has it all? From jewelry and clothing to accessories of all kinds — including real fur cuffs, collars and hats, antique furniture, decorations and so much more — Ironside Antiques Mall is perfect for collectors, antique fanatics and, of course, casual shoppers.
Ironside Antiques Mall is home to over 50 vendors, selling a wide variety of interesting items, trinkets and knick-knacks. A thorough walkthrough could take hours but to explore the entire building, leaving no stone unturned, a full day may be necessary.
Immediately upon entering, one is met with bright and sparkling lights emitting from the many chandeliers and an aroma of pine along with other nostalgic scents coat the building, making it feel homey and cozy. The vendors are kind and welcoming, some willing to negotiate prices while others are stern and stubborn. There are many selections and vendors to choose from. Some offer old Gameboy cartridges and collectible figurines, while others offer truly antique artwork and furniture.
A wide variety of CDs and vinyls can be found scattered throughout the shop — enticing all music lovers. Speaking of music, portraits of stars, like Jimmy Hendrix and Bon Jovi, line the walls, and are available to purchase. For more extreme music connoisseurs, stationed near the back of the building, one vendor boasts a true gem: two jukeboxes in impeccable condition and different styles. One is classic and recognizable, while the other is a unique CD-flipping jukebox with a see-through screen.
Fashion fanatics also have something to look forward to as this building is covered head to toe in clothing and accessories. A quick glance into almost any vendor and one will easily find something they like: beautiful authentic gold and silver jewelry; lockets with designs found nowhere else; vintage nightgowns, coats, scarves and much more are sure to make anyone fall in love.
Countless hours could be spent going through just one or two vendors due to their large collections of jewelry. If the vendor is not present, they will normally have their contact information on display — so reach out and reserve the piece before someone else does.
Ironside Antiques Mall is truly a gem and offers something for just about everyone. Even for nonshoppers, a survey of all the unique and odd items displayed is sure to at least pique their interest.
Ironside Antiques Mall is located at 10211 Ironside Dr. and is open every day — except Tuesdays — from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Make sure to bring cash as some vendors do not accept cards and, of course, enjoy all they have to offer.
