A Tribe Called Quest

I have always been drawn to tribal designs. Whether I am picking or designing something for the store, there is often a tribal element.

I love the patterns and playfulness that you find in tribal attire. There is always a natural element too which I like a lot. Here is a sample of some of the tribal items we have in store now.

 

Kenyan Market Bag, $75.00.

Afghani Silver & Coral Horse Ring circa 1900s.

Ghana Tribal Leather & Shell Necklace circa 1920s.

And just for fun....

There have been a ton of changes happening around the shop. For one we opened a second shop in the basement called The Eye of Faith which is a collection of mens & ladies vintage as well as antique collectibles. And on the second floor we have Lady Galt Vintage & Eclectic Love Vintage who are selling their wares as well. One big happy vintage shop. There are more developments to come so stay tuned... I am feeling rejuvenated by all these changes. I feel like I have more energy than when I started the store. Looking forward to the coming months. Have a great weekend! :)
