Our Story

The cooperative members of Gold Star Vintage all met at pop‑up vintage and maker markets, around Richmond, VA, doing what we love. Each of us has long dreamed of having a brick-and-mortar space to call our own and to bring community together. By coming together as a collective and a cooperative, we can support one another and turn those shared dreams into reality.

What motivates us is our community. Richmond, VA is a beautiful city shaped by creativity, collaboration, and a deep appreciation for the arts, where neighbors show up for one another and our small businesses are celebrated as an essential part of the community’s identity.
