The House of Findings is a boutique located in the retail oasis of Upper Buena Vista in Miami, Florida. We specialize in mixing vintage, global, upcycled, and handmade women's clothing and accessories, as well as similarly sourced home furnishings and art. We like to call it a "collection of collections".
Our selection ranges from the Victorian era through the 1990s. We've collected amazing pieces during our travels, from Paris to Brazil to up and down the Eastern Seaboard. The House of Findings' evolving concept is rooted in the history of our owner, Mayra. She founded the original Miami Beach Findings boutique in 1989.

I had such a spectacular experience shopping here! I was visiting out of town and did not realize it was by appointment only (which I completely respect!) This being said, I got lucky and was able to enter as the shop was empty. The selection was well curated and the shopkeeper was very sweet and helpful. I even ended up finding a dreamy top at a reasonable price. This is definitely a memorable place worth taking the time to visit, even if just to admire the beautiful vintage clothing (:

The House of Findings, a jewel-box treasure located inside the Miami’s Upper Buena Vista shopping area, has been an amazing addition to Miami’s vintage scene. From the artfully crafted window displays to the beautifully curated clothing and accessories, every square inch of the shop is stunning. I know I will always find something unique at reasonable price, and have great fun doing so. Owner Myra Gonzalez was a luminary of the South Beach renaissance of the late 80s and 90s, and was and is a huge style inspiration to me. She and her awesome associate Krissie will offer you great suggestions

Stepping into the House of Findings is like walking into Miami's ultimate vintage boutique. Everything is invitingly curated and displayed, intentionally to be tried on and enjoyed, instagrammed, and worn. Mayra Gonzales, the store’s owner, loves what she does and this is reflected in everything that she sources and sells in her shop – vintage clothes and accessories, couture “finds”, globally-sourced novelties and curiosities, as well as period pieces to mix and match at whim. You can score 70s designer jeans, 19th Century lace frocks, kitschy, colorful mid-century leisure and resort wear

The House of Findings is one of my all time favorite vintage boutiques, both in and outside of Miami. The store is beautifully decorated and always has new and updated inventory. The colors and textures displayed throughout the shop are an experience all on it’s own! And the window displays are to die for. They have a lovely selection of clothes, hats, bags, jewelry, you name it! The quality of each piece is amazing and prices are very fair.
I always find unique, one of a kind pieces that are clearly curated with love and respect for the item. Mayra, the owner, provides great service, expertise

I love The House of Findings. I visited their shop the last time I was in Miami and found some fabulous pieces. As a long time vintage lover, I find their selection to be of high quality and extraordinary. Recently, while sheltering in place in Denver, I had a FaceTime presentation by Mayra, and discovered one of my favorite pieces of all time! The customer service is excellent and rare finds are frequent. And their jewelry is exquisite! I highly recommend The House of Findings! I know that I'm committed to a long term relationship with this treasure of a vintage boutique.

I first met Myra in Miami 2+ years ago, and since then I have probably accumulated at least 10-15 of her incredible vintage finds. She has impeccable taste and her selection is wonderfully curated.
Every year I see her at the Manhattan Vintage Show and buy at least 3 things, all fabulous statement pieces. Every single time I wear anything from her shop, people comment and ask where it’s from...
Now during COVID I was looking to spice things up and did a virtual shop with her. She hand selected items I would like, and of course I loved them all!!

The house of findings is the best and only place you need to visit/shop on your trip to Miami, FL. This slice of vintage heaven is the dress up closet I’ve Dreamed of having growing up as a child. Mayra the owner and Her right hand Chrissy are the sweetest people running the show and will always cater to you And your wallet! Very inexpensive high fashion vintage , with unique pieces from ALL over the world. Mayra has brought her passions to share and play and enjoy with anyone who steps foot in the store. I can’t get enough of it here! I’ve gotten so many pieces and my collection is only

Best Vintage shop you can find! Mayra and Krissie are the best! I have worked in retail for many years and I know how important customer service is. The attention to detail, the love and warmth you always receive from them is something you rarely get these days in a shop. They treat you like family. They learn your style and always remember what you love so next time you come, they know what to show you and let me tell you, they always make the perfect selections for you!!! The quality of the pieces and the fact that they are unique to you is something I love. I have gotten so many compliments
