About maevenvintage

Sales 3,781
On Etsy since 2008
  • I source by what I’m drawn to–bursts of color, materials, prints, patterns, noteworthy construction and always quality.
  • In addition to sourcing, I take pride in repairing and restoring garments, so that they can continue to live on.
  • I like to think I inherited my love of sewing from my grandmother. These spools of thread used to be hers!
  • Behind the scenes at a photo shoot with model Alexandra, who I have had the pleasure to work with for the past year.
  • My studio is located in the original No. 2 Pencil factory in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Can you spot the pencils?

The making of Maeven

Being a vintage dealer wasn’t always part of the plan. I moved from Chicago to New York for college to study painting. After earning my degree, I spent years working in galleries and as a freelance designer, all the while collecting, repairing and reselling vintage clothing on the side. The same attractions to colors, textures, and the satisfaction of working with my hands that I’d first found in painting were readily present in sourcing, repairing, styling and photographing vintage clothing.

Six years ago, I quit my day job and became a full-time vintage clothing dealer. I launched Maeven (shopmaeven.com), an online vintage clothing store during the summer of 2012. Since its launch, Maeven has been featured on both Refinery29 and DailyCandy. Refinery29 has named me an industry insider for vintage clothing and called out my Etsy shop as being one of NYC’s best.

Every single item featured in my Etsy shop has been photographed, measured, and carefully stored in my studio located in the original No. 2 Pencil factory in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Maeven accepts credit cards & PayPal

Layaway is available on select items. Please send a convo if you are interested in setting up a payment plan for an order.
Shipping
I ship worldwide USPS Monday - Friday within 1-2 business days using the shipping speed of your choice. I want you to get your package as quick as possible and I work hard to ship immediately. Please understand that I have no control over USPS shipping times.

COMBINED SHIPPING: Orders with multiple items will automatically receive combined shipping pricing reflected in your shopping cart. Combined shipping is more cost effective than shipping items individually.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:
First Class Mail is the most popular and economical shipping option. Be advised that First Class Mail does not guarantee shipping times, does not come with tracking and is not supported by USPS customer service. Please plan on waiting anywhere from 7-10 business days to 4 weeks.

If your package is time sensitive or if you would prefer tracking, I highly recommend a shipping upgrade to Priority Mail (ship time 6-10 business days) or Express Mail (ship time 3-5 business days, includes insurance).

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
Additional policies and FAQs
I sell a mix of pre-loved vintage clothing. Naturally, vintage items have been worn before and show signs of age. I only sell wearable items and always list any minor flaws.

RESERVES/ HOLDS:
I am no longer able to accommodate reserves.
