In the closet

What you’ll dig through

Curated, quality pieces across the eras — and the selection is always rotating, so no two visits are the same.

  1. Window display of vintage dresses on mannequins against the shop’s aqua walls

    Dresses & cocktail

    1950s cocktail dresses, multi-era day dresses, and the kind of frock you came in for and didn’t know it yet.

  2. A printed vintage dress on a stand in front of a dense clothing rack

    Western & cowboy

    Western shirts, cowboy wear and denim with real wear in it — the hot-rod-and-rodeo corner the shop was born in.

  3. Three mannequin heads in vintage hats with jewelry laid on a lace-covered table

    Coats & accessories

    Luxurious vintage coats, boots, bags, hats and jewelry to finish a look head to toe.

  4. Vintage window display with green dresses, retro lamps and a framed pin-up portrait

    Home décor & records

    Nostalgic home goods, antique display pieces, retro décor and vintage records for the rest of the house.

Started in a trailer

From a car-show trailer to the corner of Hewitt & Grand

Heidi Sawdon started selling curated vintage out of a 1959 travel trailer at classic car and hot rod shows and street corners around Snohomish, while her husband Matt apprenticed as a tattoo artist. The pop-up grew — 700 square feet, then a thousand, a stretch on Everett Avenue, nine years on Broadway.

In 2015 it settled into its 4,000 sq ft home at the corner of Hewitt and Grand, inside Matt’s Sunken Ship Tattoo & Piercing. Heidi buys the vintage and pierces; Matt tattoos; their son Levi works there too. It is, start to finish, a family shop — and that’s the whole point.

The owners’ restoration work has been featured on Netflix’s “Amazing Interiors.”
