After visiting the Rastro on Sunday (see earlier post), I decided to explore more of Madrid's vintage clothing scene. I did some light research on the inter-webs and noted that Malasana was the district to check out for vintage shopping.
 |
| On the walk to the Malasana, I passed through Gran Via where hundreds of protestors had gathered for a march to speak out against austerity measures/budget cuts. I assume this because their signs had an image of a pair of scissors with an X through it. |
 |
| Calle de Velarde is the main street for vintage shopping in the Malasana. There are four or five shops on this block. |
 |
| A vintage store on Calle de Velarde aptly named Williamsburg with an image of the Williamsburg Bridge in the logo. They were playing Nina Simone, and I bought a silk scarf there for 4 euro. |
 |
| This Dooney and Bourke handbag was priced at 30 euro but easily could have been sold at a flea market in NYC for the equivalent of 100 euro. |
The interior of Magpie Vintage where I bought a red turban for 5 euro. They had an impressive collection of jean cutoffs...
