◇ Indulge Vintage is a curated collection of unique and storied wares for maximalists ◇
Hi there! I'm Tiana, an artist and purveyor of all things vintage! I'm a seasoned vintage huntress with over 10 years of collecting experience fueled by my love for individual style and a desire for ethical fashion. Shopping vintage is one solution for reducing the environmental impact of the clothing industry, avoiding slave labor, and for creating a one-of-a-kind closet. Personal adornment is an ancient human practice, an artistic endeavor, a way to honor yourself, and have fun! Dressing in vintage can be magical, and symbolic, weave stories and invoke reverence.

Indulge Vintage was started as a seedling in my heart as a teen. I have always loved unique adornments and collecting treaures. The thread woven through my life of personal style is anything maximalist and unique. I started my vintage collecting as a kid at garage and estate sales. As a young girl, my favorites were vintage trinket boxes, rings, and necklaces. My love for interiors was born out of trips to estate sales. I became a thrift fanatic in high school. It was in my teen years that I fell in love with dresses and I never turned back. By this time, my personal style was often the first thing people noticed or commented on. As soon as I could drive, I became a regular at the local antique store and vintage shop. I dreamed of a future filled with travel and art. But I also dreamed of curating and collecting vintage, the life of a shop keeper.
Many vintage lovers and sellers will tell you a similar story as to why they started their shops: I had a lot of clothes. The closet bar came crashing down, my collection was too heavy. And after this happened three times, I decided it was time to pass some of my beloved pieces on to others who could add to these talisman's stories and cherish them like I had. I have a lifelong passion for vintage and the artistry of getting dressed. I believe that personal adornment is a ritual act of self-love. I hope you feel a kinship and a resonance with this sentiment and that the buzz of finding a talisman you connect with brings you joy.

I have been selling vintage online, in local markets, and to costume designers for tv and photoshoots since 2018.
I sold exclusively through thrilling.com up until it's closure. R.I.P. to that gem of a marketplace. So in the meantime, I will release small seasonal batches of unique vintage in groups of 5. I specialize in anything unique, handmade folk, 60's and 70's, as well as Bohemia from all eras. If you see something you like in the "Treasure Trove" it is probably available. Just shoot me a message via the contact page, tell me you're interested, and I can make you a *no pressure to buy* listing! *Anyone in the La Crosse, WI area is welcome to local pickup*
