Ultra-hipster Dallas shop Hideaway Vintage expands in Bishop Arts

Hideaway Vintage

A vintage shop selling high-end merchandise has opened in Dallas' Bishop Arts District: Hideaway Vintage, which sells designer duds and collectible items, has expanded into a new 4,880-square-foot flagship on the first floor of 250 N. Bishop Ave.

Founded by brothers Emmanuel and Juan Villaseñor, Hideaway has become one of Dallas’ top destinations for luxury vintage fashion, streetwear, and accessories. The brothers opened Hideaway three years ago on the second floor of 250 N. Bishop Ave. with just over 2,100 square feet. This expansion more than doubles their footprint, with space for a bigger selection of men’s and women’s clothing, carrying designers such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Miu Miu, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chrome Hearts, Maison Margiela, Kapital, Undercover, Sacai, Chanel, and Dolce & Gabbana.

Hideaway has won nods for "Best Vintage" in local publications and have been name-dropped in national pubs including Vogue, although in exactly the snotty provincial manner one might expect from Vogue, such as this piece on the popularity of vintage:

"I turned to the vintage hauls tag during a recent trip to Dallas, which I grew up not too far from. Through some sleuthing, a high-end consignment shop, Hideaway, that sold a staggering array of Raf Simons, Commes Des Garçons, and Helmut Lang. I didn’t think a shop—or even an audience—for vintage avant-garde fashion existed in the city. I felt like I was back in New York."

They make trips abroad to stock new merchandise such as this recent Kapital Champetre BORO ZIP UP Blouson (Virgin Mary) jacket — "brought back by us personally when visiting Japan last week," they say — as well as unique collectibles such as this enchanting iridescent polished bear toy-bot made by the unsavory-named artist Pushead.

Event alert
On September 28, they'll host a rare pop-up by Inu-San Onigiri, the elusive Japanese pop-up shop concept which has been on hiatus, but who will be at the shop starting at 3 pm with a limited number of onigiris, the irresistible seaweed-wrapped handheld rice snack, don't ask how many, they can't say, it's until supplies run out, no ordering ahead, you gotta be there, man.

It's all very ultra-hipster stuff.

“Creativity has always been at the heart of who we are,” said co-founder Emmanuel Villaseñor. “Curating pieces and watching people fall in love with them has been one of the best parts of this journey."

The move marks not only a milestone for the Villaseñor brothers, but also for Bishop Arts.

“Our community is made up of people from all walks of life who come to visit Bishop Arts,” said Juan Villaseñor. “We’re here for the long run. We love what we do, and we pour everything we have into it.”

Massive Goodwill store in Garland reopens as 2nd largest in the U.S.

The Goodwill in Garland is the largest in Texas.

A major expansion has made a Garland Goodwill store nearly the largest of its kind in the country. Goodwill Industries of Dallas officially reopened its "Broadway store," at 451 W. Interstate 30 #100, on April 30 after a major renovation. The new-and-improved store is twice its previous size.

According to a release, at 31,000 square feet, the Broadway Store and Donation Center is now the largest Goodwill in Texas and the second largest in the U.S.

The expansion will significantly boost inventory turnover. According to the organization, the store will introduce about 10,000 new items daily, including clothing, home goods, and accessories. At that pace, inventory cycles through the store roughly every four weeks, they say.

“Our newly expanded Garland store sets the gold standard for Goodwill in Texas — not only as our largest location, but as our most operationally complex,” says Tim Heis, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Dallas, in the release. “Turning out 10,000 fresh items every single day requires a tremendous, coordinated effort behind the scenes to make sure our shelves are always stocked with new finds."

The reopening comes amid "explosive growth" in the resale sector, Goodwill says. A 2024 report from ThredUp found that the U.S. secondhand market grew 11 percent in 2023 (growing seven times faster than the broader retail clothing sector) and is projected to reach $73 billion by 2028.

“As consumers are increasingly turning to resale for its affordability, unique product variety, and positive environmental impact, the new Garland store redefines what’s possible — every visit promises one of the widest, most frequently refreshed selections anywhere in North Texas,” says Joel Ibanez, vice president, Donated Goods Retail.

To support its larger retail footprint and meet demand, Goodwill Dallas has also expanded its donation network, they say, opening new Donation Express locations in Frisco, Plano, and Lantana in recent months and bringing the total number of donation drop off locations in North Texas to 52.

The Garland store includes a drive-up donation center, and additional sites are in development across North Texas, they say.

"Over the past two years, Goodwill Dallas has experienced record-breaking performance, earning recognition as the top performing Goodwill in the country for two consecutive years," they say in the release.
