Telephone: (305) 945-7770
Address: 13702 Biscayne Blvd.
Insider Pick:
Description: Its tagline, “One of the Fashion Wonders of the World” rings especially true the moment you walk in the door. The store is 10,000 square feet and organized by decade, making it the world’s largest vintage showroom. Due to its growth, the store now encompasses an e-commerce store, though the Miami showroom will remain intact. Parking is a cinch and spending a day playing dress-up is a great rainy-day activity. Aside from being recognized in publications like Vogue, C Madeleine’s is a favorite of stylists, fashionistas, and costume seekers worldwide.

Additionally, there is ample furniture, books, and knickknacks so it is almost impossible not to find something for everyone.
