In what seems like a complete contradiction to all that vintage stands for, there is a growing trend in online vintage stores. One of the latest to join the bunch, LA Vintage. Officially launched in March 2009, the company has been in the works around 1992 when owner Murtuza H. moved to LA and started brokering containers of second hand goods sourced from a variety of rag houses to economically poor countries such as Mexico and Africa. (basically he was green before it was cool) From there he went on to form his own rag house and eventually LA Vintage was born. With one off pieces dating back to the 50s, LA Vintage has something for everyone and the hand selected authentic vintage pieces and a contemporary layout and aesthetic make the shopping online experience unparalleled! Don't believe us though, make a visit to lavintage.com to see for yourself!
Memory Lane is based on the concept of producing a vintage magazine. The closet thing to an authentic
magazine from the past, Memory Lane aims to provide an intellectually and aesthetically pleasing piece of literature
exploring vintage inspired fashion, art, design and culture from the present.
It has been said by many people, many times, in many variations. 'You've got to know where you've been to know
where you're going'. This quote and others like it suggest the theory that in order to evolve in any sense, one must first explore the history of that particular area. This could be an explanation for the popularity of all things vintage. Another explanation has said to be the nostalgia factor.
