Bodega Vintage

Bodega Vintage is a vintage collective retail store located at 1284 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood, founded by Jane Carten and Arturo Calendar. The store features a curated selection of secondhand clothing, home goods, jewelry, and accessories from rotating and permanent vendors, offering customers a welcoming environment that combines the atmosphere of a coffee shop, record store, and vintage showroom. Bodega Vintage supports local resellers by providing flexible two-week or weekend vendor slots, access to a green room workspace, and a photography studio, enabling small sellers to experience brick-and-mortar retail without the burden of maintaining a standalone storefront. The business emphasizes sustainability and community by promoting the practice of rescuing items from landfills and creating a gathering place for vintage enthusiasts and merchants across Chicago.
