Ever since I can remember, I love vintage bags, clothing, and accessories. The smell of the leather, the wear and distress that told stories and excited my imagination. The delicate beaded purses and intricate embroidered handbags transported me to a different time, a different era and I loved every minute of it. Shopping for vintage has always been an adventure. Leading through interesting places and meeting equally intriguing people. This is the world of my vintage bags, clothing, and accessories.
ClosetCathartic was born as the idea of "catharsis" or the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions. "Closet" was well, my closet and all it entailed in all its' glory. So I sell my most loved possessions as a means of profiting from my purged passions.
I have been collecting for well over 20 years as a hobby and open my closet of finds to you now.
We began on eBay in 2009 and have had wonderful success there and on multiple forums. Why have we expanded to Etsy? Simple, we appreciate and relate to the message and the care Etsy takes in its' clients and stores. We find Vintage in particular, is more precious here than all other forums as it respects Vintage for all its' wonders and age and stories.
LAUNCHED IN APRIL 2021:ClosetCathartic presents Deep Purpose Jewelry this is a passion project that we have been evolving into: copper and resin creations paired with nature inspired preserved pieces and echoing the strange and unusual beauty we see in vintage everyday.
