About
Older, more romantic vintage across from the Getup.Dear Golden at 211 S 4th Ave deals in the deeper end of the date range, roughly the 1920s through the 1980s. Victorian lace, silk slips, structured wool coats, the dress you wear to a wedding when you want to be asked where you found it. The shop built its following selling online before it opened a storefront, and the standard shows: pieces are cleaned, repaired and hung with room to actually look at them.Read the closed days before you drive in. Dear Golden is shut Monday and Tuesday, which is the widest regular closure of any vintage shop downtown, and it is the one thing that catches people who assume Fourth Avenue is a seven-day street.Open 11am to 7pm Wednesday through Saturday and noon to 6pm Sunday. One wrinkle worth knowing: the shop answers its phone Wednesday to Saturday 11am to 6pm, an hour shy of the retail day, so call before six on (734) 369-3010.
