a blend of authentic vintage & modern fashions for an authentic, modern life

my story...

I'm Angela! I started selling vintage fashion on eBay in 1999. After launching my stand alone website in 2006, I expanded my physical inventory into a brick and mortar boutique here in Des Moines, IA which I closed up in 2016. Over the years I have worked with Vogue magazine, several films and television series and glamorous celebrities worldwide. Named one of the best vintage sites and boutiques in the world by Destinations magazine and USA Today! Vintage is my passion and I'm so happy to share it with you.
