Located in the Kingfield neighborhood, Tandem Vintage offers more than just standout secondhand finds. It’s a space rooted in community, creativity, and sustainable fashion. Owner Amanda Bauman started the shop as a pop-up in 2011 and opened the storefront in 2021. The shop features local brands that are all BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, or woman/nonbinary-owned businesses. There’s something meaningful behind every item, and a little something for everyone.
