This store! I don’t even know where to begin. We stopped here a few times during our trip because we couldn’t get enough of it. It has so many fun, quirky, unique, vintage inspired items and I definitely would recommend to anyone visiting Salem. I had a hard time choosing just a few things to buy here, because I wanted it all. Highly recommend. The staff is super friendly and I believe the owners were there during our second visit and they, too, were extremely funny and friendly. Can’t wait to go back!

THE CUTEST COOLEST SPOOKIEST SHOP IN SALEM. A must see! If there is a line - wait! You won’t be disappointed & they hand out some candy sometimes while you’re waiting! Everyone is super nice and I don’t think I can wait a whole year before I go again!

This is such a cool store but the staff is super uptight and unfriendly. Expect way too many rules for a gift shop. It’s like they resent being popular and are inconvenienced by intruders; aka dirty, potentially infected tourists. Worth checking out but as far as making a purchase, you’ll find less expensive versions of pretty much everything on Etsy or EBay with a heck of a lot less attitude. I purchased over a thousand dollars worth of Sid Dickens art online the second I got home. I dont know if the staff is just terrified of covid (even though it clearly states on their website that the entire staff is vaccinated) or what their deal is but irrational covid fear doesn’t explain having to throw out my water bottle, spit out my gum, and put away my phone (no pictures allowed) - all after waiting outside for 45 minutes because they only allow 12 people in the store at a time. Maybe they just want patrons to experience what a witch hunt actually feels like. Are germaphobe control freaks the new puritans?! I think YES. Take a lesson from your own history Salem and remember how your bread is buttered.

We saw this place on a YouTube your video of Salem and knew we had to come here. Everything here is right up our alley in taste. Quirky, early 20th Century styled items and crafty items and quirky items. Great style. Highly recommended.

I absolutely fell in love with this shop! They had such a unique selection of gifts to remember salem by, books, enamel pins, and so many other goodies. I cant wait to go back here again when I am in town. The staff were really friendly and helped with any questions I had. The COVID precautions made me feel safe and at ease. The line to get in is long because of this but it is so worth it! This is a must do on your salem trip!

My favorite little shop in Salem and a must whenever I visit from Maine. Owners and everyone else are incredibly kind and inviting, and they have tons of unique items that change every visit. Ive also made a few online purchases and they are always packed with care and are recieved quickly. Had the chance to visit Emporium 32 last week during our most recent trip to Salem - their COVID procedures are efficient and in place to keep shoppers and employees safe. Cant wait to visit and see what they have in store when we come back in the fall!

The shop keeper was so friendly! The cutest and most interesting things here. So much so, we came to the store three different times on our day trip in Salem! I even found the best tiara for our wedding and the coolest flower lamp. Be prepared to spend all your money on half the shop because youll want everything in there.

Best store in town. No seriously. From the celling, to the employees, to the incredible variety of pins, posters, hats, candles, crowns, glassware, jewelry, books, and AND they have a ZOLTAR! 13/10 would recommend.

Review №16

Absolutely beautiful, well curated turn of the century curiosity themed shop. The selection is small but theres both affordable mass produced products like prints, home decor, pins, and accessories, as well as more select artisan quality items and clothing. And the curation is so spot on.Themes of items is turn of the century stuff ranging from victorian seance parlors, to early science, to womens suffrage.Locally owned and operated, and the employees are always impressively dressed, attentive, and seem genuinely happy to be there. And I dont blame them, its such a cool shop.I would love to see the curator add some items that represent the labor movement of the turn of the century, similar to the suffragette offerings. If such a thing exists.

My daughter and I stopped into this unique and charming shop while bumming around Salem- I’m so glad we did- it’s perfect for that oddity gift that you can’t find anywhere else.

My boyfriend and I went to Salem looking for some spooky vibes, and this store takes the cake! We love all things paranormal, and our expectations for our visit I am not gonna lie, were prettty high. We both agreed our visit to this store quenched all those desires! From the music, the goods available, to even the smell, we left feeling like satisfied customers!TWO THUMBS UP!!

I absolutely love this place. In my opinion, nothing tops a shop like this one. Not gimmicky at all! Unique items and the owners are great people, too. My husband bought this sharp hat that we are actually going to get a custom suit made to go with it. I got these beautiful drinking glasses and some amazing smelling candles. The interior is super charming and nice to look at and you can tell they have put their heart and soul into this shop. We actually might go back again today to get more stuff that we fell in love with. Great shop, great people, great place to visit, even if only for a few minutes - it is completely worth it. The only thing I would say negatively impacts them for me, is they arent close to home in NJ. Lol 😆 but I would 100% come back to Salem and this place would be my first stop.Update: we went back that same day and bought more stuff, including their new candy bars. My husband and I ate all 6 bars we bought like big fat fatties while we laid in bed watching family feud. It was awesome.

The owners are the sweetest people I have ever have been so lucky to meet. They provided us with so many amazing places to visit while we were on our trip there. The store itself is beautiful and fulled with unique and special items. Words cannot express how truly magical this store is. We got my mothers birthday present (which she adored) that was an antique souvenir glass from 1903 that was engraved “To Mother” Again, such fun, amazing items in this store. A MUST SEE.

Lovely place! From a real working Zoltar to retro clothing (I plan on going back and getting that hat after all, and Im strongly considering a vest as well...), Emporium 32 is just wonderful. Its just a few steps off the main drag in Salem, so its a little less crazy crowded, but not for lack of fun stuff.

My daughter and I were very pleased when we found this shop. It has perfect mix of spooky and whimsy. All the clerks were extremely pleasant and the mix of items for sale cannot be beat. The skull ring I purchased, well, I have been looking for this ring forever, perfect mix of feminine toughness. I will be watching their website like a hawk and it is now a must stop when I visit Salem!

Amazing store!! I love what a strong retro/steampunk/pseudo-mystic aesthetic this store has. The owners have curated a fantastic collection of accessories, hats, jewelry, grooming supplies, and more. Many of their items seem to also be sourced from small artists, like their charming enamel pins selection, which is great. The staff is super friendly to boot. Absolutely worth a visit!

I went to Salem for just a day and was looking for a hard brim hat. No one seemed to have it. Walked into this cute little shop and the gentleman taking care of some of the jewelry was more than willing to help me. I didn’t catch his name, but he was super helpful! I showed him what I was looking for, he had exactly what was in my mind! The other gentleman held the hat upfront until I was ready and had jokes that were light and happy. The little shop is 100% worth the visit. I will be coming back when I visit.

I fell in love with this shop back in February, but I’m even more impressed with their shipping! I saw this teacup on their Facebook page and after a few messages, it was on its way to me. I was a little worried, but it was beautifully and carefully wrapped and completely in one piece. I will definitely be distance shopping more until I can make my way back to the Boston area!

Everyone who comes to Salem should take the time to browse the merchandise in this shop. They have marvelous tea cups, lovely jewelry, dresses, hats (for men too), along with an array of shaving paraphernalia and quirky decorative items. All with a kind of Goth Edwardian Halloween theme.

Absolutely beautiful shop! I came here right after they opened and picked up a pair of earrings and a necklace. Ive worn both multiple times since, and I get compliments on the earrings every time.I have to say, this is probably the best shopping experience in Salem. Their attention to detail is amazing (like Disney-level). As a Salem resident, its really nice to see this kind of shop move in.

Very very high priced. Try on the stuff, no photos allowed. Just a heads up! Accidently snapped a photo and was scolded at from the staff. The Nik nacks are really neat however not for the asking prices. A lot of the items can be crafted at home or found within the walls of Savers or Good Will for the nostalgic feeling. Again, neat place but the money is not worth it.
