Proper Vintage was a concept that shop owner, Jordan, created years ago, yet kept garaged while she pursued a career in Fashion Design at Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California. After completing two years at AAU, Jordan decided it was time to move back to her cozy little North East abode in Portland, Maine. She instantly started collecting the amazing vintage that she knew was readily available. Using a keen eye, and keener sense of adventure, Jordan was able to stylize her and her friends worlds with colorful prints, bold patterns, and perfectly-worn in leathers.
Proper Vintage is retail manifestation of rustic, pretty, callous, love. While the business model is simple, details on each item are not. From perforated cowboy boots to asymmetrically sewn fringe, our eyes are naturally drawn to fine details. Proper Vintage believes that individuality rules all, which is why a large portion of merchandise is O-A-K.
Based out of Portland, Maine.
Shop Proper Vintage in person throughout the week at Little Ghost Vintage, located on Congress Street in the Time & Temp building, and on weekends at the new Portland Flea-For-All located at 125 Kennebec Street (Across from Bayside Bowl).
