“What started on a small Blue bookshelf in my cozy Salt Lake City apartment has now blossomed into a robust community of vintage treasure hunters, dedicated artists, skilled event planners, imaginative local artists and product designers.”

- Kristen Wolfe, Owner and Creative Director


Vintage Drift SLC is a curated vintage store in Salt Lake City, Utah specializing in bold, colorful, and thoughtfully sourced natural fiber secondhand clothing sizes XS-6XL and mid-century home goods.

Founded in 2019 as an Etsy shop Kissing Whiskey Vintage selling vintage Pyrex and American-made glassware, Vintage Drift evolved from online resale into a brick-and-mortar retail space and community hub in the heart of the 900 South neighborhood. Featured in The Salt Lake Tribune, Fox13 and voted one of the Best Antique Stores in Utah by City Weekly readers in 2024. What began as a one-shelf side project has grown into a multi-faceted creative business rooted in sustainable fashion, local collaboration, and inclusive community programming.

What Our Customers Have to Say

  • Vintage Drift is one of my favorite spots in Salt Lake City for unique, wearable vintage finds. The selection is always fresh, with bold colors, fun textures, and pieces that feel both nostalgic and current. I love that they carry styles for all genders and body types, and the space itself has such a welcoming, creative vibe. Plus, it’s easy to get to by transit, which is a huge plus for me.

    - Stop, Steps and Sites

  • Vintage Drift is what Utah needs/needed. The owner (Kristen) is incredibly sweet and inviting. Vintage Drift is exploding with colors! Curated items in a friendly and inclusive environment will transport you to the days in which the items you will find here were brand new. I only wish I lived closer!

    - Kolby Poff

  • Very very cute small shop! The owner is an absolute sweetie and super creative. Most of the pieces in there are from SLC vintage collectors and local artists. Items are reasonably priced and there’s a really great selection of sizes. Most vintage sellers only sell xs-medium and if they have large pieces they fit more like a small, but she has L and Xl. Super cute! I ended up leaving with two very pretty cards.

    — Hannah Glass

  • Vintage Drift is theee spot! I found so many cool things. And the prices were fair!! I really appreciate Kristen’s kind and warm energy. It’s nice to meet people who are passionate about vintage and thrifting as she is. Definitely a local spot to check out in SLC. Support small business.

    - Valen Cole

  • A fabulous little vintage shop with an impeccably dressed and joyful owner. I stumbled by with no intentions of buying anything and left with five pieces. The selection is super cute and much more affordable than other vintage shops in SLC. Will definitely be back!

    — Kanzi Kamel

  • Such cute stuff and the owner is super cool, really friendly and has great info about each area of the store. Love it! Also, super excited about my new skirt and top!
