Welcome to my pride and joy – my shop called Subcollection
If you’re like me, then for you, fashion is a way to express your individuality in this wonderful, people-packed world of ours! And I’m at your service to search for wonderful vintage pieces and sew handmade vintage-inspired pieces to enable you to express that individuality! Search & Sew – That is what I’m here to do for you!
Ever since I can remember, I have loved fashion. My mother was a seamstress and she is the one who taught me how to sew, as well as the one from whom I inherited my love for clothes and fashion. As a little girl I would sit next to my mom, feeling the fabrics as she worked, looking at old sewing magazines and picking out all of the clothes I wanted. I often dressed up in my mother’s, my sister’s and my aunt’s clothes + shoes and put on a "fashion show" for the “home” audience. Many years have passed since then, and those loving clothes have now become vintage. I love that the clothes have a story of years past and I love the idea that behind each garment there is a story of a real life. I enjoy imagining and trying to relate to other people’s stories through the vintage clothing that was left behind.
I opened this Etsy shop because I realized that I had accumulated a lot of beautiful, quality vintage clothing each with its own story, and I wanted to share it with others! I really enjoy my daily searching and sewing. In the moment that I realize I’ve found a unique item, that I’ve scored a great vintage find, I get so excited thinking about listing it in my shop the next day.
You can tell a lot about me from the items in my shop. I love all vintage, but closest to my heart is the fashion of the 70’s starring hippie, loose fitting and airy fabrics, - your basic music festival-style fashion. Many of my vintage pieces possess this gypsy, hippie and bohemian feel - which today, is referred to by the catchphrase “Boho Chic.”
It’s not a surprise that for my handmade dresses I draw inspiration from the fashion trends of the 60’s, 70’s + 80’s. I have a large collection of sewing books with original patterns from those eras. I also love searching for vintage fabrics to give my handmade designs a really unique and original quality, while always giving a nod to the vintage-retro look that I adore.
I think you’ll be really glad you found my Etsy shop. It’s one of the best places to find what you’re looking for, especially if you’re looking for One-Of-A Kind items. There is never more than one of each of my vintage pieces and my handmade pieces. Each item is unique and there is no other like it.
I promise to do my very best in providing the size and product details about vintage items. My items are mostly in excellent to good condition, and all items are clean and ready to wear!
Thanks for taking some time to get to know me.
