BIPOC-owned Vintage Shops You Need to Follow

there’s no doubt about it — the vintage community could use some serious reformation regarding inclusivity, accessibility and diversity. in a sea of sellers worldwide that share vintage treasures in their own unique ways, i am most inspired by the shops run by woc/bipoc who are carving a new path for vintage. shops that honour history while recontextualizing their pieces for the modern wardrobe; that cater to all body types; that provide one-of-a-kind pieces at an accessible price point. whether you’re looking to shop, get inspired, or simply support vintage sellers, i think these businesses are indispensable leaders in the vintage community.
