House of Dow: Toledo's Trans-Owned Vintage Shop
Share
House of Dow is Toledo's trans-owned vintage clothing and accessories shop — and we've always been about more than just great finds. From the beginning, we've been committed to building a space where everyone belongs, where fashion is a tool for self-expression, and where community comes first.
Who We Are
We're a small, independent vintage shop rooted in Toledo, Ohio. Every piece in our inventory is carefully sourced and one-of-a-kind — from statement jewelry and vintage dresses to rare accessories from every era. We believe vintage fashion is for everyone, and we work hard to make sure our space reflects that.
As a trans-owned business, we understand firsthand how important it is to have affirming, welcoming spaces — in retail, in healthcare, in community. That's why we don't just sell clothes, we build community.
