I have spent most of my life second hand shopping. I walk into a thrift store or up to a garage sale and am immediately excited. Unlike shopping in stores with new products, I have no idea what I will find. The possibility of discovering something rare, beautiful, useful, interesting, or just really weird gives me goosebumps.
Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love going to Target and other mainstream retail establishments. Spending three hours walking through Home Goods with a Starbucks in hand is my idea of a mini vacation. Nothing, however, compares to the feeling of finding a 1970s brass dolphin statue or some JNCO Jeans from the 1990s. Buying these things that someone else has loved; or maybe hated; and giving them another life makes my soul happy.
Through the years my collections of vintage costume jewelry, clothing, and accessories has grown to a volume I could never fully enjoy on my own. So that is where Amy's Collective Boutique was imagined. I want a place that I can share these items with others to be enjoyed for many more years to come.
I thoroughly enjoy cleaning, preserving, and researching the history of every item that comes into my possession. Knowing that I am only selling items that I know are ready to be enjoyed immediately by my customers is really important to me.
So take a look around, sign up for announcements for upcoming events, and of course, buy something amazing for you or someone else.
