When I was little, my mother bought me a dress up trunk, filled to the brim with costume jewelry and thrift store finds. My sister and I would spend hours sifting through the assorted sequins, velvets, sheers, and lace, parading our creations around the living room- spanning a thousand different personas and generations with each piece.
My dress up trunk eventually disappeared and went relatively unthought-of until years later when I discovered adorevintage.com. Here lies a grown-up dress up trunk, stocked with sophisticated, eclectic and fashion-forward vintage finds. With pieces ranging from 60’s boho-chic and 70’s mod to 80s retro and 90s grunge, everyone from the counter-culture to the upper-crust is represented. The accessories section is reminiscent of tiny vintage shops and your grandmother’s jewelry box, boasting chunky bangles, silver cuffs, crocheted floral handbags, gold lockets, and gypsy rings, while the home goods section features pretty, painted tea cups and cute stationary sets. Items are updated every week and prices range anywhere from $20-$100+ depending on the item and it’s condition.
Adorevintage.com is for the timeless. It’s for those inspired by classic beauty and unconventional finds, tea parties and wine dates, costumes and art, those who don’t want to just bring back the dress up trunk, but who want to re-invent it. We all have a place in history; mark yours with adorevintage.
