Why vintage?
From the start, goods were made with intention to function for a longer period of time. So now they are well-considered stuff with a story behind them, with a soul. Often they are heritage that has been carried from one generation to the next.
Secondly, vintage means that something has been already used so by using and wearing vintage decors and fashion we are not cluttering the world. Mostly they are one of a kind treasures and they are great pearls of whom people have forgotten. Our job is to bring them back to the light.

We love to restore, to clean and to repair the items, keeping in mind that we have to be very careful. Sometimes an item with a defect becomes an effect and it is better to leave it as it is, without any restoration - it brings out the vintage mood even more. Often we think about the home, from where a candle holder or painting has come and what it has seen, how it was treated, what happened to it and how it traveled to us.

To be frank, it is a shame that we do not have family heritage of our own, that we could show to our children. Maybe that is one of the reasons why we love vintage stuff so much.

How and why the items come to us?
They find the path to us in different ways. They are items that have become unneeded by their owners, forgotten, with dust. Sometimes the reason is that they are with minor defects and the owners are not interested in them anymore.

How it all started?
It all started as harmless obsession with vintage home decors and accessories for ourselves. Later we had in our possession more stuff than one could possibly need. So we came up with the idea of not keeping it all to ourselves and to share a little part of our treasures with others. We are glad that we can bring joy to so many people and they can become owners of something special.
Most of the time it is hard to say goodbye to items that we find beautiful and lovely and would like to keep.

Shipping.
Of course the priority is for the item to arrive at the destination safely, but we rather choose to use recycled materials for the package - already once used boxes, bubble wraps and plastic bags.

So there is no need to be shy - take a look at our vintage items, because Something Must Be Here!
