Archive Vintage was launched online two and a half years ago by Kerry Bonnell. Her resume includes a previous five year stint as manager at the popular NYC Resurrection Vintage. Housed in the fashionably progressive city of Dallas Texas Bonnell serves up a generous offering of vintage designer clothing, accessories, and home goods. "I like to stock mostly designer pieces from the 60's-90's", adds Bonnell referring to the likes of Costa, Ungaro, Alaïa, and Halston. Last year Bonnell revamped her studio into the current retail location of Archive Vintage extending a more diverse shopping experience for customers. And if that is not enough a recent addition of non-designer hand-picked vintage will be added to the back room (the retail location) including selections for men.
Vintage shop owners are similar to designers in their approach to fashion as an art form. They are constantly digging for that timeless piece of history to bring a smile to any vintage lover's face. Its truly an ongoing craft that requires perfecting and maintenance like any other passion. I think it's safe to say that Archive Vintage is on the right track. And with so are many online/offline vintage shops surfacing daily, when you find a shop that posses the "it" factor its a joyous moment, and Archive Vintage definitely has it!
