Once a quieter corner of Tulsa, Kendall-Whittier has transformed into one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods. With a growing mix of shops, cafes and creative spaces, it’s also become a must-hit spot for vintage style finds at Flipside Collective and its next door neighbor Jo & June.
Flipside Collective
Flipside Collective, 2415 E. Admiral Blvd., is a curated vintage store specializing in pieces from the 1920s to the 1970s. After collecting and selling vintage for 15 years, owner Rachel Muselmann opened the storefront in September 2024.
Muselmann said she emphasizes the highest quality in the pieces she sells in her shop, often spending weeks repairing pieces to get them as close to their original condition as possible. She said her goal is to keep items priced affordably while maintaining the value of the work she puts into every little detail.
The store’s pieces are labeled in today’s sizing and organized, making it easier for customers to find pieces they love, Muselmann said. Flipside Collective does not currently offer buy-sell-trade options. In addition to vintage clothing, shoppers can also find books and records in the store.
Muselmann described her store as funky and dopamine-driven. The bright and happy decor reflects the vibrant, groovy pieces that can be found in the shop.
“If something makes me happy, I buy it and I hang it up,” she said.
Jo & June Vintage
Jo & June Vintage, 2413 E. Admiral Blvd., opened a decade ago in Kendall-Whittier. Owner Philip Holmes founded Jo & June with his partner Dani Jo Fausset as a tribute to their great-grandmothers. After starting out in a rented space at Ziegler Art & Frame, they moved into their current storefront six years ago.
Holmes’ passion for Victorian and Edwardian fashion, paired with his love of natural fabrics like linen, cotton and silk, shapes the store’s collection. Shoppers can discover pieces ranging from the Edwardian era through the 1940s, as well as styles from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘90s. Along with vintage apparel, the store features a few thoughtful modern goods and ceramics.
At Jo & June, pricing is rooted in accessibility and fairness, Holmes said. While certain rare or special pieces are higher, most items remain attainable.
“I want someone to come in and be able to walk away with something,” Holmes said, even if that something is a cute dollar matchbook.
Although Jo & June does not heavily advertise buy-sell-trade, Holmes stays open to opportunities when they arise. He prefers personally sourcing pieces through estate sales and flea markets, valuing the stories behind the clothing as much as the garments themselves.
