The entrance to RC Moore Vintage Millinery, which opened Monday at its new location at 1561 Main Street in Hellertown. The store had been located on W. Third Street in Bethlehem. RC Moore also operates a a vintage clothing warehouse on Main Street in Hellertown.

The location of the vintage clothing shop that opened Monday in a cozy storefront at 1561 Main Street (the corner of Main Street and Wagner Avenue) in Hellertown is new, but the business itself isn’t.

Owner RC Moore decided to relocate her Southside Bethlehem retail shop to the borough after opening a walk-in warehouse here about two years ago and falling in love with the town, she said.

The new retail shop will be open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 6 p.m., and sells both women’s and men’s vintage fashions, shoes, jewelry, accessories and retro bric-a-brac.

Not a consignment shop, Moore purchases pre-1985 vintage clothing from a variety of sources for resale, both in her store and online, where you can find “everything from specialized steampunk attire to burlesque and belly dancing apparel and glamorous drag outfits,” according to her website. A milliner (or hat maker) she is also known for her custom, one-of-a-kind creations, which include apparel.

Moore said she has found the Hellertown community to be very supportive and is looking forward to hosting a grand opening event at her new store in the near future.

“Stop in and share our joy and appreciation,” she posted on Facebook Monday.

Her warehouse shop at 1180 Main Street (behind Paprika’s) will remain open, but will now be open to customers by appointment only, she said.
