Brown Bear Vintage Gallery

Why It's Good:

Vintage store meets art gallery at this new shop. Brown Bear is still working on vamping up their merchandise, but the small collection they currently have has been well-chosen by owners with an eye for good vintage. And with art receptions happening monthly, it's a sure bet for a cool social scene.

Why It's Green:

Make haste, not waste. Anytime you reuse, you help save resources, energy and the emission of greenhouse gases that would otherwise have gone into producing something new.

Where To Get It:
