Perennial Vintage Turns Ten

Winter Sweaters in the Shop
It's hard to believe for me, but on November 30th, 2010 I began my foray into the world of Etsy vintage. A lot has changed since then. And I don't mean just in the world. I mean in Etsy itself. When I opened shop a decade ago, there were so few sellers compared to now, and things sold much faster because there was such little competition.

But competition is good. It makes us more creative and promotes grit: both of which are necessary for growth and success. And I have to say, this has been THE MOST creative, fun, rewarding, and exciting work I've ever had. I took a hobby and learned to make a little profit from it on the side.

Even though this is a business for me now, selling vintage is still my hobby. While it's nice to monetarily benefit from it, it isn't the only reason I do it. The reason I sell vintage is simple: I love vintage. 
I want to preserve it, research it, wear it, love it, talk about it, and naturally, I want to sell  it. I want to share the passion I have for it with you.

In honor of my Etsy shop, Perennial Vintage, going ten years strong, this Saturday begins a sale I've never done before. My entire shop (minus two items) will be 40% off for ten days; one day for each year I've been in business.

40% off!! That's a crazy good sale, folks. And I want to say THANK YOU for being so amazing to me; for supporting me, for loving what I sell, for writing fantastic reviews, for having patience with me from typos in the listing, to wrong sizing, to wrong items sent to the wrong people! I've done it all. But, I'm so grateful for all of you.

'50s Kids Cowichan Cardigan
Saturday the 21st through the 30th of November, the ENTIRE store will be 40% off. It hits Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and every day in between.

I've stocked it with tons of sweaters, denim, wool and more. And I can't wait to see you there.

Visit PERENNIAL VINTAGE today to get a preview! Load items up into your cart, and wait until Saturday to  buy. Believe me...when they're gone they are GONE. So get ' em as soon as you can.

Thank you. ♥

To all of you.

Vintage Cardigans │ Fashion Cardigan Love

I seriously have a good "issue" with cardigans. Yes, they're in. But, they've always been in. And this one that I found a few weeks ago is no exception. It's straight from the 1970s, but exactly what's back in today with the almost bell-like wide sleeves, hood, and Aztec/Native American pattern. Hate to say it, but I'm keeping this one. Of course, if I find more (and choose NOT to keep those too, ha!) then I'll sell those. See how great it goes with jeans and boots from today? (both from Target.com by the way). The belt is vintage too! (pic 4) Best part? Cardigan was $4, belt was $2. Ooh la la! Love this outfit...

Vintage Cowichan Cardigan Sweater

So, I have this thing for vintage sweaters. That has been established. And I definitely have an affinity for wool sweaters, particularly of the quality variety, i.e. Pendleton, Filson, etc. I was lucky enough (believe me, I was hyper-ventilating when I saw this) to snag this last year at a thrift store. It's hand made, made of wool, no tags. Looks to be from the 1960s. Of the Cowichan style (a native-American tribe, which I believe is Canadian. Their sweaters are what began a movement of quality, thick, warm, amazing sweaters) this thing is THE warmest sweater I have ever owned. This one isn't for sale. But, if you want one just as good, may I recommend you to Filson. Click here ◄ for some gorgeous Cowichan sweaters. Of course, Pendleton ◄ has some great ones too. And for the right price, you have buy them on Etsy ◄. You'll have yours for nearly a life-time or more. Happy New Years Eve and Day, dear readers ...
