Nobody does it like BC Modern. Yes, the business model is a little unconventional, open one weekend a month, but it WORKS & each “event” is always worth the wait. The team spends the rest of the month sourcing quality product and takes special care when it comes to merchandising - no vintage reseller curates the way BC Modern does. They also spend a lot of time hyping up the next opening - virtually previewing via social media all month long. So, while it’s true customers can only shop in store 2 days a month, customers have the opportunity to spend all month “window shopping” ahead of time. Customer service? Unrivaled. Hands down my fave source for all things vintage/MCM. Pro tip: Arrive early, Saturdays usually have a line waiting for open!
