Vintage lovers, this store is for you! An Uptown favorite, this second-hand clothing shop gets high marks all around. Dallas 10 Best calls it “a Dallas legend” and Lucky Magazine voted it “Best Vintage in Dallas”. One loyal customer raves:

Ahab Bowen is by far the best vintage store in Dallas — if not in the whole state of Texas! The quality of clothes is outstanding. It’s the only place that I’ve been able to find inexpensive, 1960s Dallas-chic. It’s common to find many Jackie O-type, Neiman Marcus tagged treasures. I’ve been shopping there since 1994 when I was in high school. To this day, I still wear many of my Ahab Bowen finds. They have timeless clothes. And the ambiance in the store’s little house makes shopping very delightful! Ahab Bowen is a must for vintage lovers!
