Raxx Vintage West Brings Curated Retro Fashion to the Shop Penn Retail District
Are you craving the comfort of a well-worn flannel? Do you like to shine bright in neon from the ’80s? Or do you go with the flow and fringe of boho? Shop Penn is excited to announce the addition of Raxx Vintage West, a beloved Philadelphia-based vintage clothing retailer, to its shopping destination in University City. The new pop-up is located at 3425 Walnut Street, filled with their fun, unique, and sometimes quirky goods.
Raxx Vintage has built a loyal following through its carefully curated selection of vintage clothing, accessories, and collectibles from the 1960s through the 2000s. The new Shop Penn location features a signature mix of vintage denim, band t-shirts, varsity jackets, and other retro treasures that have made it a destination for fashion-forward shoppers and sustainable fashion enthusiasts.
"Opening a new store in the Shop Penn district marks an exciting new chapter for our brand,” owner Amanda Saslow said. “The vibrant campus environment and eclectic West Philly neighborhood makes this a perfect location. We look forward to introducing our curated vintage collections to area students and local residents, for their everyday wear or perhaps special themed costume party prep."
Raxx Vintage was founded by Amanda who has been in the vintage clothing business for more than two decades. With a young, funky, and affordable vibe, the merchandise is hand-picked by managers and sourced from Bulk Vintage, a wholesale vintage warehouse. After a longtime residency on South Street, Raxx just recently moved that store to Passyunk Avenue while simultaneously opening the Raxx Vintage West shop. The store also features a section with some nostalgic collectibles, vintage décor and homegoods provided by local supplier, Hoof and Antler.
"We're thrilled to welcome Raxx Vintage to the Shop Penn family," Ed Datz, Penn’s Executive Director of Real Estate said. "Their unique offering of sustainable, vintage fashion aligns well with our mission to bring a diverse selection of goods and dynamic retail experiences to the University City community.

MSC Retail represented the University of Pennsylvania in the transaction.
