"This freestanding boutique is a treasure trove of super well-preserved vintage, which we’re sure will be even more enticing once it reopens after a lengthy renovation. Everything from beaded gowns to silk separates to shoes to rare designer pieces is neatly organized, which is nice considering there’s usually tons to get through. If you’re looking to clean out your closet, they also accept pieces on a consignment basis. "

Obsessed is an understatement. It’s an annual requirement to make a voyage here — and as a New Yorker, crossing the country and trekking through the desert makes the Fine Art truly my Mecca. Very rarely does one come across a vintage store that presents authentic, curated vintage — and not just that humbug that gets noise on TikTok. The store is carefully crafted and feels almost like walking into the closet of your chicest aunt that eternally lives in 1961. Did I mention that the prices aren’t crazy either?! Palm desert perfection.

Every time I visit Palm Desert, this is my go to destination! Beautifully curated vintage fashion and I always find something to take home! Prices are good and the sale rack always has a treasure or two. Highly recommended but hopefully you are not my size!

Imagine that you had a hot tub time machine that would transport you to any of your rich auntie's walk-in closets between the years of 1969 and 2001, and return with any items you can grab in 45 seconds. Like have you ever seen DoubleDare hosted by Marc Summers? Don't ask me why you only have 45 seconds, I didn't design the game or the hot tub time machines. So, TFAoD is kinda like that. Everything is trill.

Store Manager was absolutely delightful. She was intelligent, attentive, courteous, knowledgeable, attractive, & efficient. The store was clean, wonderfully appointed, with many consigned or sales beauties professionally showcased, items clearly separated by type, thus easy to find, with very fair pricing. Will I go back? Why wouldn't I!

Wonderfully curated store. Ranges in the expensive end for vintage but there's also a bargain rack go help with that. The pieces are very classy, lots of unique and high end items make for some amazing finds.
