2024 Vendors Of The Month
January's Vendor of the Month Spotlight: Don Dutton
At Vendors on Victory, we take pride in showcasing the diverse and extraordinary talents of our vendors. This January, we are thrilled to feature Don Dutton as our Vendor of the Month. Don's unique perspective and dedication to offering one-of-a-kind items make him an invaluable part of our eclectic market.
Q: Can you share the story behind one particularly special antique or one-of-a-kind item in your collection?
"In my collection, there's a fascinating story behind every piece, but one that stands out is an LGBTQ-inspired photograph. Having owned an antique and thrift store in the eclectic town of Bisbee, AZ, I embraced the unique and unusual. When I moved to Savannah, I wanted to continue sharing items that were not only different but also made people smile. This photograph, like many others in my collection, represents diversity, joy, and the celebration of individuality."

"Vendors on Victory is more than just a market; it's a family. The owners, Scott West, and the entire community have welcomed me with open arms. The eclectic styles of each vendor create a vibrant tapestry that evolves daily. It's a place where everyone can find something special, and the owners go above and beyond to support each vendor's success."
Q: What role do community events or partnerships play in showcasing the unique offerings at Vendors on Victory?
