Huge thanks to FYI Philly on 6ABC for this lovely 2-minute feature! (November 2025)
VIX Emporium features unique gifts, cards, jewelry, ceramics, prints, tees, home wares, souvenirs, and baby gifts, since 2007.
Everything we sell is made in the USA, largely in and around Philadelphia, by independent businesses, artists and makers.
In the 1940s, our Baltimore Avenue storefront was a millinery (a shop that made and sold ladies' hats). The milliners' built-in display cabinetry remains in the space, still with its original mirrors and lights, now the perfect display for our ever-changing collection of goods.
"VIX" (with a bar over the V) is the Roman numeral for 5009, our street address.
