Hollywood Stars won’t be the only ones in designer vintage duds when “Nostalgia” vintage wear opens in the Fairhaven’s new Young Building. Featuring the best of original treasures from 1930 to 1970, to vintage-inspired new clothing, the shop is sure to be a hit in a district that prides itself on historic preservation and individualism.
Owner, Lynn Loewen, says the style trend is moving away from mass-produced clothing.
“Fashionable women want to have a unique look that belongs just to them,” says Loewen.  “It feels good to be noticed and remembered for wearing something fabulous no one else has.”
Loewen scoured flea markets, estate sales, and thrift stores, to find vintage cocktail dresses & coats, antique jewelry, stylish accessories, and shoes.
With a retro art-déco theme, “Nostalgia” will offer a step back in time with affordable prices. The shop plans to open the doors next week with a grand opening party weekend of November 16th at 1323 11th Street. For information call 733-5821.
