About Falls Avenue Vintage Fashion

Our Service Pledge To You:
I absolutely guarantee everything I sell. All items are photographed and described exactly as they are. Purchase orders and e-mails will be answered within hours.

About Us
Vintage costume jewelry and modern designer jewelry, clothing, handbags and accessories are among my favorite items to splurge on. Of course, these things top all women's lists and when these can be had at good discounts, we don't feel nearly so guilty for treating ourselves.

Falls Avenue on Ruby Lane is in it's fourth successful year and specializes in vintage fashions and collectibles. On my frequent hunts for the shop, I was finding newer items that were just as unique and desirable but with no avenue to sell them. Ruby Plaza has provided me with this new opportunity and I apply the same buying rules to modern as to vintage. I base my purchases on their condition, rarity and overall look. Basically, if it's not something I would consider buying for myself, it's not something I will consider selling to you.

I don't purchase stock from any online sites. Shop inventory comes primarily from private sellers and estate sales within my region and a small percentage comes from local auctions and thrift stores. I prefer my items to be fresh and new to the online marketplace and that most have had a single owner from whom I purchase directly.

I'm located in beautiful Niagara Falls, Canada. Being a border city, I have access to fabulous finds from the USA and am able to ship directly with USPS. My customer base is over 95% American (God Bless!) and I've successfully shipped over 1000 packages there and overseas which have arrived safely. All transactions come with a full guarantee and there's never a restocking fee.

All reasonable offers considered for combined purchases and layaway is available. Please feel free to contact me. I'm easy to work with!

For true lovers and collectors of yesteryear, Falls Avenue on Ruby Lane offers a variety of elegant vintage dresses, vintage wedding gowns and bridal accessories, vintage lingerie, Victorian clothing, 1950s box purses, antique linens, vintage designer costume jewelry and the many other hidden gems I find in my travels.

From my customers...

Rita, So the bag arrived today as promised, and all I can say is that it's simply gorgeous! It's very soft, and nicely aged, unlike so many Coach bags that are stiff as steel and never quite reach the softness level one hopes for - even after much use. Thank you again, Rita - so much! Jan NY

Hi Rita. Well another gorgeous piece of jewelry from you. The carved rose brooch and earrings are just exquisite and the brass perfume holder is cute as a bug. Thanks so much, Debby WI

Dear Rita. The cha cha bracelet arrived yesterday. My wife loved it! Just wanted to let you know it arrived safely and was well received. Thank you for wrapping it so nicely. Regards, Tony RI

Dear Ms. Zappitelli: So nice of you to check in with your customers! Both pieces are lovely and just as expected, and I appreciate how charmingly you wrapped them as well! Receiving them reminded me of my time living in Paris and Tokyo, where such purchases are always wrapped beautifully and carefully like a gift, no matter the value of the purchase. Merci Beaucoup, Norma LA

Oh My Goodness Rita!!!! Just got the bracelet today...I am wearing it now...it is just gorgeous indeed...did you polish it? The silver is beautiful and the charms could not be more charming. Thank you soo very very much. It was very sweet and generous of you...I just love it! Lourdes MD

Dear Rita. Thank you very much for your great service in sending the coat to me. It arrived in perfect condition and I am so happy. I love the coat, Rita! It was so beautifully cared for. I am so happy with it. Thanks again, Barbara MA

Hi Rita: Just a note to let you know the perfume bottle arrived safe and sound today. I love it. It is lovely and unusual. It will have pride of place on my dressing table. Your beautiful packaging of my purchase was much appreciated and made my purchase very special indeed. Regards, Rosemary NY

Hi Rita, I wanted to let you know I am totally loving this ring I bought from you! I feel so glamorous wearing it...especially to the grocery store. hehe Thanks! Ann WA

Hello, Oh yes, I did receive them and they are beyond wonderful! Thank you sooooo very much. My granddaughter has just graduated from NYU...PhD in Arts...and is coming back to California. She is doing her new condo in shabby chic ... and these are surprises for her! I know she will be over the moon. Thank you again so very much. Kind regards, Alexandra CA

Your package arrived this afternoon safe and sound! Everything was packed so nicely and smelled so fresh! Thank you for all the care you took! I love the 2 pillows and the purse and they are in my parlor as we speak. Many thanks for a lovely purchase!...I will continue to shop in your beautiful gallery! All the best, Jeannine NY

Yes, I did receive the delightful "Hope Diamond" and it's great! Thanks for the prompt service and the pristine condition of the merchandise!! Thanks! Jan TX

Dear Rita, I LOVE THIS PIN. I LOVE THIS PIN. I LOVE THIS PIN. It is opulent, elegant and I LOVE THIS PIN. Thank you for having such great taste. Me too!!! Dell FL

Hi, Rita. The dress is beautiful and it fits perfectly. It arrived safely and very well packaged. Thank you so much. Susan WA

Rita, you are the best! Thank you for including the Dreamer of Dreams as a bonus, it is indeed beautiful! Both will be perfect framed in our little girl's bedroom! And the postcards & bracelet are even nicer than as described -- thank you so much. It is a rare treat to find a seller so kind, thank you! I will be back soon! Warm wishes -- Maia MD

Hi Rita -- I wanted to let you know that I received my order today and both pins are just as beautiful as they were in their photographs. Thank you also for your careful packaging and great service. Thanks again! Susan BC

Rita,
IT ARRIVED AND ITS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL AND I CAN'T SEE ONE FLAW AT ALL. WHY IT LOOKS BRAND NEW TO ME. I JUST LOVE IT AND IT CAME SO NICELY WRAPPED , WHY I THOUGHT IT WAS CHRISTMAS ALL OVER AGAIN! I WILL MOST CERTAINLY BE BACK TO SEE YOU, YOUR PRICES ARE GREAT AND THIS PIECE IS SO SUBLIME. HOPE TO DO BUSINESS AGAIN. HILA USVI

Dear Rita, I wanted you to know how surprised I was to find the extra print!! You are so sweet to include it. They'll be great hanging together. They take me back to my childhood. Last week when the package arrived I opened it and saw the ad through the tissue paper, but was in such a hurry for work I didn't open it all the way up. I had no idea I was in for a surprise until I read your email tonight. It was kind of like getting the package twice. I love both the prints. Coca Cola Santa has always been a favorite of mine. Thank you so much for collecting these wonderful finds for the rest of us. Julie TX

Hi Rita, Good Morning! Holy Cow... my packaged arrived yesterday afternoon, and it was like Christmas in September!! You packaged everything with such care and made my experience shopping with you so special. The jewelry, well where do I begin? I don't know which piece I like the most; they are all so lovely. You were so right, these are quality pieces and I am delighted to be sporting them now and hopefully feeling some of the previous owner's creative energy. I can only hope that I wear them as well as she did. As for you Rita, you have been wonderful. I feel as if I have made a new friend. As I mentioned before, you have unique pieces and I will definitely be back. Thank you for my new treasures.... Warm Regards, Alison NJ

Just to let you know that the photos have reached me today...I'm thrilled with them. Thanks also for packing them so carefully...the cardboard postbag had become wet somewhere en route to Sydney, however, because you had taken the time to pack them so well, the photos were untouched and arrived in perfect condition. I'll be back to browse in your Ruby Lane store often! With my thanks and very best wishes, Lesley. Australia
