I'm Opening a Vintage Store

Hello from Vintage Culture NY (VCNY)! We are Zach and Zoila and this blog is all about the road to opening our first online vintage shop. We’re incredibly excited about it, but, it is not easy! Every piece from our store is handpicked by us so you can imagine how delicate this process can be. Combine this with creating logos, copy, layout, photo shoots & planning a super fantastical launch party for the store, things are going to get a little crazy over here. But we’re totally ready for the challenge. Don’t worry it won’t be all serious business & such. We’ll also be sharing things that excite us, delight us & sometimes even piss us off. Hope you enjoy! Zoila & Zach
