Smartypants Vintage

Smartypants Vintage is a hand-curated vintage clothing store located at 815 N. High Street in Columbus’s Short North neighborhood, specializing in affordable vintage pieces for men and women from the 1880s to 1980s. Founded by owner Justina Smart, the business began as an online Etsy store five years before opening its brick-and-mortar location in the historic Greystone Building in March 2013. The shop sources its inventory from estate sales, antique shows, and auctions, carefully selecting quality pieces that emphasize sustainability and repurposing. Smart is passionate about promoting vintage fashion as an everyday lifestyle choice rather than costume wear, and the store attracts both knowledgeable vintage enthusiasts and younger customers seeking unique pieces like prom dresses that stand out from contemporary retail options.
