Our Story

The Alley Vintage & Costume opened in June 2010 with a simple goal: bring quality vintage fashion and standout costumes to the Columbus community. Over the years, we’ve grown into a treasure trove of clothing history, with pieces spanning from the late 1800s through the late 1980s.

We also stock a wide range of costume pieces for every occasion—from festivals and raves to themed weddings and family gatherings.

As of early 2026, Aidan has taken the helm of the family business. He’s been here since day one, working alongside his family, and has become a familiar face to many of you shopping for all your vintage and costume needs.
