I love vintage and resale shops -- it's fun to find unique items, feel like you are getting a great deal and it allows for items to be loved again!
The Hype Vault in Brownsburg, Indiana, does all of those things while primarily focusing on sneakers. Customers can buy, sell and trade to find the sneakers they really want. And the owners are Brownsburg natives!
Back Home Again in Brownsburg
Angel Tapia and Jordan Page turned their passion for sneakers and vintage fashion into a growing business. After graduating from Brownsburg High School, they launched The Hype Vault, a sneaker shop known for carrying hard-to-find sneakers as well as unique vintage shirts and jackets.
While they buy and sale online, they set up a storefront in Lafayette first. As their customer base grew and their business adjusted, they decided to bring their business back to where it all began -- Brownsburg and have been blown away by the support.
Buy, Sell or Trade!
They continue to sell online and through exclusive auctions and drops, but their new storefront offers a fresh way to connect with the local community face-to-face. Earlier this month, I checked it out and was so impressed with their collection and variety of styles offered.
You can buy what's in store or online or you can sell or trade. One of their favorite memories so far? A dice-roll sale with a customer, where the winner got to score a pair of sneakers at a deal. Just one example of the fun, relaxed energy they bring to their space.
Tips and Tricks
I asked if they had any tips on shopping or trading, and they said to not be afraid to negotiate. Whether you're looking for the perfect pair of sneakers or want to check out their retro T-shirts and jackets, The Hype Vault will deliver!
