Vintage Cargo Visit Today...
I finally got a chance to stop into Vintage Cargo, a store I’ve been eager to visit since they opened, and I’m so glad I did! Nestled in the heart of St. Helena, SC, at 872 Sea Island Pkwy, this charming shop is truly a gem and well worth the wait.

One of the standout features of Vintage Cargo is their collection of original art paintings. You can commission custom pieces tailored to your specific subject matter and color preferences, which makes for a truly personalized touch to your home decor. It’s an incredible opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind artwork that speaks to your personal style.

In addition to the custom art, Vintage Cargo boasts a separate and unique collection of artwork dedicated entirely to dogs. This charming assortment features everything from whimsical illustrations to sophisticated portraits, capturing the diverse personalities and endearing qualities of our furry friends. Whether you’re a dog owner or simply a dog lover, this collection offers a wonderful way to celebrate the special bond between humans and their pets.

The store also showcases a captivating array of photographic artwork that highlights local scenes and people, offering a beautiful tribute to the Low Country’s charm and character.

And let’s not forget their soy-based candles—each with its own distinct and unusual scent. I picked up the Warm To***co and Vanilla candle, and it’s nothing short of fantastic. I had no idea such a scent could be so soothing and warm. The candles make for excellent gifts or a treat for yourself!

Whether you’re in search of the perfect hostess gift for an upcoming dinner party, unique jewelry, or simply a fun day of shopping, Vintage Cargo is a must-visit. Their selection is eclectic and high-quality, ensuring that every visit is an adventure.

Vintage Cargo is open Monday through Saturday from 11:00am to 5:00pm and on Sunday from 12:00pm to 4:00pm. For a sneak peek of their offerings and updates on their latest finds, be sure to follow them on Instagram . Make sure to stop by and immerse yourself in the charm of this Low Country favorite!
