In the heart of Amsterdam, tucked between canals and stones, two local vintage havens that celebrate the past invite you to step into another era: Rumors Vintage & Design and We Are Vintage. 

Rumors Vintage & Design
Haarlemmerstraat 29 & 99, Amsterdam

Founded in 2011, Rumors Vintage & Design is a small Amsterdam-based business and was one of the first to bring curated vintage to the now-iconic Haarlemmerstraat. A boutique born out of admiration for the past, particularly the elegance of the 60s and 70s. From psychedelic prints and classic Levi’s to buttery suède tailoring, mod-era silhouettes and a curated mix of vintage leather bags, silk scarves, dead-stock sunglasses and jewelry. Expect rare French vintage, stand-out vintage designer pieces and one-of-a-kind finds, each hand-sourced with an eye for craftsmanship and character.

While our heart lies in the flower-powered decades, you’ll also spot curated vintage from the 90s and Y2K era: think sleek leather, low-rise denims and early 2000s cool-girl minimalism. It’s a blend of eras, always with a Rumors twist.

Step inside and discover a space where the past is not forgotten but celebrated: woven into every seam and button. Where fashion isn’t fast, but enduring, thoughtful and expressive. Because true elegance isn’t tied to trends or time, it lives on in the pieces we choose to carry forward and in the stories we continue to wear.

Our philosophy With over 25 years of experience in vintage, we pour our hearts into our company every single day. We’ve watched the city shift and the vintage landscape grow. These days, the city is flooded with 'vintage' shops that compete on price, putting the market at risk and undermining the quality and craftsmanship that true vintage represents. We believe in something different: quality over quantity, conscious choices and a strong connection to our local community.

We’re grateful to see the modern vintage lover becoming more mindful: understanding that where you spend your money shapes your city. That choosing to support local, independently owned shops means investing in people who care deeply, not only about fashion, but about sustainability and storytelling. So shop with purpose, you decide what kind of city you live in.
