Dolly Python
Don’t let the obscure location and distressed storefront dissuade you. DOLLY PUTHON is a fascinating vintage retail destination! This hidden gem is primarily known as a vintage clothing, jewelry, shoe and hat store, for both men and women… BUT, all this only fills 1/3 of the store space. There is so much more! It’s loaded with oddities, curiosities and collectibles. Popular with decorators, hipsters and artists alike. You’ll find taxidermy, skulls, bones and specimens. There’s also a designated music corner filled with collectible vinyl, eight tracks, posters and rock memorabilia. This 3,800 sq ft vintage emporium offers folk art, masks, tribal artifacts, cameras, old photos, strange art and odd paintings, medical tools, military keepsakes, old books, weird dolls or just their parts and childhood nostalgia from every decade. Plus, plenty of kitsch. The list goes on and on! Once you’ve been here, you’ll want to come back soon. Merchandise is updated on a daily basis.
