Excellent service and selection. They offer men and women's vintage clothes, as well as a mix of new and vintage accessories. They even have a dedicated plus size rack for women. Must for thrift and vintage crawl through the city!

What a gem of a store! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I always have a fantastic experience selling and shopping here. The staff are friendly, fair, and professional when evaluating the clothes I bring in, and the process is quick and easy. The store itself is beautifully organized with a great selection of stylish, gently-used pieces at affordable prices. It’s clear they take pride in curating quality items. I love that this place supports sustainable fashion and gives clothes a second life. I’ll definitely be back—both to shop and to sell!

I’ve been coming to rumors for years. It is my go-to spot for a last minute outfit plan, cute yet affordable jewelry, socks, special night out, and costume pieces. I love it!!!

Great little shop for good quality second hand garments. Mostly ladies stuff but there is a good selection of Hawaiian shirts and t-shirts.

Very clean, friendly, and found so many amazing clothes for way cheaper than I would’ve had I gone to a retail store. Totally recommend going :)

Rumors Durham is consistently one of the best vintage clothing stores here in the RDU area!
It has a rotating selection all the time!
Best prices and pieces in town!
5/5 10/10 they are the best!

Everything is so cute and there’s plenty to choose from. My favorite thing about it is that there are plenty of plus size options which a lot or regular stores kinda fall short with. Also Christina is very sweet and her playlist for the shop is amazing. You can vibe while also looking at cute clothes to shape into your own aesthetic/style😊😊 And there’s opportunities to get stuff for less too!

My husband, friends, and I have been coming here since we moved to Raleigh a couple of years ago. Everytime we come in here we find sustainable clothing in various styles and friendly staff. All of us are drag and burlesque performers as well as alternative ourselves so it is nice to find all we need in one place. The size inclusiveness is impressive and the safety I feel in here as a queer person is outstanding. Thank you Rumors

Love this rumors location!!! I usually go to the Chapel Hill one, but this one has so much variety and more vintage items! I also found two beautiful dresses here for a ball I will attend in February!

i always find something when i come here. i live a little over an hour away so i really like how you can purchase finds that they post on their instagram through dms, it’s convenient and i feel like it gives people who live far away a fair chance at getting something they love at a good price!
