Owner Desiree Sheridan offers gently-worn pieces of history that make you feel like your rummaging through a best friends closet - one with impeccable taste.

And there’s none of that weird mildewey, moth balls, part-who-knows-what “vintage smell” old clothes can sometimes acquire.  Buffalo Gal Vintage drycleans every piece and stocks only good-smelling duds in in top condition for the discerning vintage shopper.
