For over a decade, Prototype Vintage has been bringing the best in on ­trend vintage fashion to South Congress. Carefully curated to represent current styles through vintage, Prototype offers wardrobe staples for men and women, a bad­ass boot selection, purses and bags, hats, jewelry and sunglasses.  

Prototype is the go ­to vintage store for the stylish set. Every blogger, vintage shopper and clothing lover has walked through these doors, discovering their new favorite prizes of the past. Bring some extra cash, it's impossible to leave the store without buying something. Prototype pays homage to groundbreaking styles of yore, but with a modern interpretation. They hold highly the style elements worn everyday, expressions of the individual self walking to the beat of that silent drum. From the best black boots worn ‘til their death, to the beautiful black dress made different every time with the addition and subtraction of accessories,  Prototype has your one of a kind wardrobe staples.

Winner of the Austin Chronicle’s “Best of Austin” accolade, the inventory here changes every day, in-part due to the accessible ­to everyone pricing, and the constant addition of new vintage treasures. Don’t hit snooze on this one, their motto of “all killer, no filler,” hits the nail on the head with affordable and attainable vintage fashion. Prototype also provides styling services for special events, music festivals, music videos, fashion shows, print campaigns, television and film.
