This journey began long before I ever realized it had. I come from a long line of women who lived and breathed vintage—they knew the value of a well-loved garment, they preserved family treasures not for their worth, but for their stories and quality. As a little girl of four, I would wander through closets, trunks, and thrift/consignment stores like they were museums, brushing my fingers over silk linings and imagining the lives once lived in those clothes. That early enchantment grew into something deeper: a calling.

By sixteen, I wasn’t just admiring vintage—I was curating, collecting, and selling it. Over the years, I pursued training and qualifications tailored to the vintage industry, learning how to identify eras, care for delicate fabrics, and honor the rich history behind each piece and I still have so much to learn. This is more than fashion to me—it’s storytelling in texture, color, and cut. Every garment I select carries a whisper of the past and a promise for a new chapter!

Though I currently balance this creative passion with a corporate day job (girlbossing both worlds, as I like to say), my heart beats strongest when I’m sourcing, restoring, and styling vintage. I have a professional background in non profit work and the corporate world, my most true clientele admires my transparency and ability to provide exceptional service always. My dream is to one day leave the 9-to-5 behind and pour myself fully into this world of beauty, preservation, and expression. Until then, this space is my offering—an evolving collection of soulful pieces for kindred spirits who believe, like I do, that clothing can hold memory, magic, and meaning.

As for the name—Haus of Lady Vintage—it’s a tribute to my beloved cat, Lady. She found me through a Facebook post when I was just 22 years old. She’s an embodiment of the brand itself: unique, intuitive, has loads of character, and endlessly charming. Just like the pieces I collect and create, she carries a certain presence!
