Favorite vintage find: I have 2: dead-stock gold Moschino for Persol glasses and a Dooney & Bourke doctor bag. I found the glasses at Fabulous Fanny’s – I was there for 2 hours (boyfriend was tortured) before I found them. It was totally worth it. The bag came from a vendor at Brooklyn Flea – there’s a lot of vintage D&B at the flea but none like this.
Dream find: I don’t know what my dream find would be but my latest Etsy searches have been for sterling silver Taxco Mexican cuff bracelets and collar necklaces. Want!

Favorite vintage find: Reddish/Burgundy Fur Coat. I found the coat at Urban Jungle off the Morgan Stop on the L. Just a nice coat (maybe fake but feels real!?) I’m so in love! Usually they have ones like this but they are like 90 bucks, or tattered. This isn’t and was only $40! It’s possibly a fake, but feels so real and warm so fuck it.
Dream find: An amazing vintage black trench coat.

X-Finds : VHS
Posted by: Patrick
I have a huge addiction and fascination with picking up old VHS tapes. ALmost every weekend, (if I have time), I’ll try and venture out to look for some random VHS tapes. Most of the time I buy tapes from the 80s, but I’m always up for any rare VHS’s or ones that have amazing cover art, thats mostly what sells me. Got any VHS tapes you dont want? Send em on over!

X-Finds : Minnie Mouse Poster
Posted by: Patrick
We found this gem in Bushwick a few years back and Minnie has been hanging on our wall greeting us in her typical high pitched ‘Hello!’ every time we go in and out of the house.

Our first installment of X-Finds, we’ll be showing off some of our favorite new finds we come across along the way. This is an amazing Jordache high waisted jeans telephone from the 80s, one of our recent prized possessions, and it actually works. You hear through the butt and digits are at the top! This fits right in with our vintage telephone collection. *Ring Ring! Hello!

Favorite vintage find: My #1 vintage possession is the gold chain link ring my mother passed on to me from my Great Grandmother Bertha. Her daughter, my Grandma Fran, and I have kindred taste. I love the golden leaf hair pins and walnut necklace that once belonged to her (I’m wearing them in the photo!) My Dad’s father Nathan collected clocks/watches and gave the pocket watch (pictured) to my mother as a gift. So basically, long story short, I cherish my heirlooms!
Dream find: I would gag if I ever found a pair of vintage kelly green ostrich pumps with a cone heel, or more realistically, a clasp glasses chain for my Fabulous Fannie’s frames.
