Parlor City Vintage is a new venture that was inspired by my love for vintage clothing, fashion blogging, design, photography, and my hometown. The premise is to take discarded clothing from other eras and transform them to reflect the trends of today. Because of where the majority of materials are sourced, all of my designs are considered eco-friendly.

I thrift for pieces that others might consider ugly or outdated but contain design elements that have been recycled into a modern trend and then get to work on the alterations. Sometimes I add new fabrics or trims, but other times a simple hem or sleeve alteration does the trick. All of my pieces are one of a kind.

My source clothing gets a brand new life, and I hope that my designs can also metaphorically represent my city's struggle to revitalize despite constant economic and natural disaster. The Parlor City was once a bustling metropolis on the forefront of manufacturing, with its nickname derived from its appearance of neat streets and homes and stately mansions overlooking the river.
