From the outside, it looks like Més Que Un Vintage on Wilson Avenue has been a part of the neighborhood forever. Locals pop in and out of the bell-equipped glass door, chatting with the owner, Eddie Varas, like they’ve known him for years. 

In fact, Varas opened Més Que Un Vintage just recently after finding a space he liked in Bushwick, near the Knickerbocker M train stop.

Varas is originally from Chile. He moved to Brooklyn with his family and eventually settled in Ozone Park. “I used to go to garage sales with my grandfather,” said Varas. “Now I go to estate and garage sales all over Long Island and New Jersey to find things for the store.”
