East Dallas Vintage opened in the fall of 2021 and moved into its current location on Peak Street in November. Step inside the store, and find a smorgasbord of trinkets, including vintage mugs, ash trays, jewelry and assorted decor. The shop is owned and curated by our neighbors Chelsea Callahan-Haag and Melissa Maher, and local vendors are always featured in the store.
