The scene in La Bella Vintage is a familiar one: racks of button up polyester blouses, floor-length patterned skirts and dresses that look like they’ve been pulled from forgotten Japanese closets, tacky wallpapered walls, and retro mannequin busts. Mixed in are pieces that even a less-than-seasoned shopper would recognize as being far from vintage and easily snagged from a local market or even streetside – fuzzy Korean style sweaters, tacky oversized sunglasses, costume jewelry, and a few Tibetan trinkets (huh?!). Knickknacks complete the space – a children’s music carousel music box and a few frilly plastic dolls give it the tired look of a grandma’s living room. A repurposed phonograph in the corner plays “Home” by Michael Buble. So there you have it. Vintage? We think not, but there are a few treasures to be found if you look hard enough.
