If you are looking for a really nice clothing vintage location. Look no further. This is the place. Its a small place so becareful as you can drive right pass it. Once inside you are transported into time. Each row of clothing is section off according its decade, which make shopping so easy. The sales associate is very personable and knowledgeable about the garments, shoes and brooches. The clothes are pricey depending on your taste but you can find average priced items as well. Happy Shopping!
I can’t believe I’ve never rated Paper Doll! I’ve been shopping at Paper Doll Vintage since I first moved to Long Island in 2014. Dominique, Amanda, and all staff have always made me feel like I was a friend coming in for a visit. The stores have always have a wide variety of vintage in regards to decades and styles. Staff is knowledgeable. Through out the years they have always thrown fun events; recently they did a showing of Clueless. Past events included fashion shows, photography sets (like Dominique HAND makes sets and props- her talent is beyond me), art shows (check out Amanda’s amazing art!). They are MORE than a store!
I was absent from shopping (and society) from illness. And Amanda still remembered me! Made my day! This boutique is important to our community because they do more than just sell clothes. They are there for you, so let’s be there for them.
I was just at the store and had the worst experience with the cashier. I was just trying to return a jacket because I did not look good on me & I never wore it. She was very rude and speaking with a tone like I lack intelligence. I do not appreciate being spoken to like that. “ I don’t know what store you know let’s you return items” MANY OF THEM! Regardless of the date. Ex.. Tj maxx, marshals) The whole experience of the store is ruined with the cashier being so judgmental and rude. I visit the store often and I left very upset
I absolutely love Paper Doll. The owner is super cool and she finds the most amazing vintage pieces. I bought an adorable shirt dress from the 1940s. This is NOT a thrift store, it is a high-end vintage store. Some other reviewers seem to not know the difference between thrift and vintage! I stop here whenever I’m in town. Couldn’t love it more.
Fun, cute and vintage items! Definitely plan on coming here again. I have a few pieces from this place. A scarf, some glasses and dresses. I love this boutique for its high quality items and friendly staff.
This store is so cute! I love the style clothing and the vintage stock they get. They have these awesome holiday photo shoots that I really want to try and get to the next one! Very creative shop and in the heart of town so it’s perfect to stop by when you’re waiting for your table or want to stop for some unique and/or handmade items! Def check it out and feed your curiosity the next time you’re in town!!
I love this place, they always have such fun stuff and amazing sales! The owner is amazing and her merchandise is to die for! Definitely stop by if you love vintage gems!
The absolute best vintage shop on LI! Always find such gorgeous high quality vintage pieces. There is something for everyone here. They always have amazing sales and awesome special events. And it’s such a welcoming, fun environment! Friendly staff and I’ve met so many cool people shopping at paperdoll over the years. Highly recommend!
You’re better off going to your local thrift store. Prices are a rip off. Owner is weird and there was a bunch of freaky people hanging around outside and inside the store. Weird vibe. Stay away!
Took my daughter here recently. Nice little store with some cool finds (members only jacket). My daughter purchased a vintage necklace. Lady at the counter was very nice. Love these kind of stores, wish there were more like it on the island.
Selection was beautiful but salesperson was not welcoming.
I visited this boutique today with my mother. We love fashion and always try and stop at new vintage boutiques while we travel. We heard good things about Vintage Dolls and were excited to check it out.
While the selections was amazing, I was instantly put off by the salesperson. She did not greet us upon entering and did not offer any help throughout the experience. As a collector of vintage scarves I would have loved it she would’ve offered to open the cases while I was admiring them. There were multiple opportunities for her to offer assistance or even just a friendly bit of chit chat but she seemed in no mood.
As someone who has worked in retail before, making customers feel welcome is incredibly important. Some conversation starters like the below would’ve make the experience a lot less awkward.
- is there anything I can help you find today?
- let me know if I can open up any of the cases for you?
- what brings you in today?
She turned what would’ve been a multiple item sale into a unpleasant browsing experience.
While the selection was organized and well kept, I will not buy from someone who makes me as a customer feel out of place and not welcomed.
Really fantastic selection! Hats, dresses, skirt suits in particular. Lots of unique pieces, nice range of sizes & very fair prices, too. There’s so much to see, you’ll want to spend some time here. The owner was very helpful and kind!
This is my favorite place in Sayville! Great clothes, fun accessories, and practically everything you can think of! From vintage pjs, to jackets, to purses, this place has it all and for a great price! Staff is super helpful and kind. It’s a must for anyone into vintage, fashion, or just curious. Strongly recommend!
Cute, funky, and nicely set up true vintage clothing store (as opposed to just a thrift store or musty antique shop that also has some clothing)! The item were all in impeccable condition. She has the clothing organized by decade and she was extremely helpful and knows what "type" of clothes are in each. We were looking for a semi-formal party dress for my daughter...she asked her a couple of questions to get a sense of her style likes and then told her to look in 3 of the decade areas. Unfortunately we didn't find anything, but this place is definitely on my daughter's "Let's Come Back Here" list! So we'll be back again!
Awesome place! Staff was friendly, but most of all the clothes were TO DIE FOR! Shop is clean and nicely organized. Unfortunately, very early on, the stitching came loose in a number of the clothes I bought there.
It's an awesome store with a wide variety of vintage items. The art shows they do are great. They have a lot of 90s things which really brings back a ton of memories of my childhood.
I recommend that if you're in the area you go check the store out. They are always getting awesome pieces in.
7 years in business!!! CONGRATULATION DOMINIQUE!!! You are AMAIZING.It was beautiful evenin, great music,life singers and moon photos.My brave baby girl do what u do the best, your stores are fantastic ???!!!
Just try to found some times to take care of yourself.Wish you next 7 years of good luck and prosperity ?????
Paper Doll rocks! They have legit vintage and some really snazzy vintage reproductions with prints you will not find anywhere else. Their dresses always elicit compliments. I got this rockin' one with arcade cabinets on it a couple of months ago.
I live in Brooklyn and when I go to sayville to visit my best friend, we always have to go to Paper Doll. Some of my favorite outfits are from there. Always unique and fabulous!
As a bigger gal who enjoys a retro look but is confused by vintage sizing, I often strike out at the consignment shop. What excites me about PDVB is that they carry retro repro dresses in everyone’s size. I’m talking S-3X in cuts that are flattering to all of those sizes. I’m talking really flattering. I’m talking no more having to leave behind a cute one-of-a-kind (although they have those, too!) piece due to size, or even worse, dooming a garment to a long shelf life waiting for thinner days. I went in for a semi-formal party dress, and it was great to choose based on style preference rather than size. I love this dress, it has already seen two weddings and chaperoned a prom. Paper Doll has lots of variety, great sales and reasonable pricing for high quality pieces. Also- if you sign up for their mailing list at the register, you get a percentage off your first purchase and get to stay in the sales loop! I highly recommend this business.
I visited this vintage boutique for the first time this past weekend and let me tell you, it is amazing! I wish I had known about this store years ago. Kristin was so helpful and friendly! I definitely will be shopping here more often. Wonderful selection of vintage accessories and clothing. Definitely my vintage go to shop!
