FAQ

Q: Is this your personal collection?

A: Yes, every single item for sale at Motley Vintage has been hand picked by me and has been a part of my personal wardrobe/home decor for years. The MV aesthetic is part 70's West Coast bohemian, part 80's East Coast preppy, part 90's club kid.

 

Q: Where do you find everything?

A: Everywhere, because I'm always on the hunt! I never met a vintage store, antique mall, or flea market I didn't love. I tend to seek them out everywhere I go, so most items come from my travels…New England to California and everywhere in between. 

 

Q: What is the condition of these items?

A: All items are vintage and therefore will most likely show signs of wear and age. That's what gives them so much character...that's where the stories are. I do my best to describe any flaws such as holes, stains, repairs, etc. in the listing and photos.

 

Q: What is your history?

A: I've been in the fashion business for over 30 years as a buyer, stylist, and boutique owner. My career (and collection) started in my hometown of Newport, RI then moved on to Boston, MA and finally to Venice, CA where I currently reside.

 

Q: Can I shop Motley Vintage in person?

A: Yes, I have a working home studio in Venice, CA that is available to shop by appointment only. 

 

Q: Is your whole collection online?

A: Not even close! There are literally thousands of items to list, so the website will be updated weekly. If there's anything specific you're looking for, just ask...chances are I have it!
