I started Daggers & Dames Vintage in 2017 out of a lifelong fascination with history and absolute love for historical garments.
I select each and every piece that is offered at Daggers & Dames Vintage with a discerning eye and open heart. For me, the 'perfect piece' evokes a bit of emotion in the best way. It features special details that connect you with the dedication for garment creation of past eras. It's a piece that makes you wonder about the person who wore it... who they might have been, what they may have experienced, and things they may have seen.
I am a loyal romantic, and feel a sometimes overwhelming amount of privilege to have the opportunity to house and collect these relics that have existed for nearly a century or more. To me, these garments are deserving of much respect and preservation, and I have committed my hand to gentle restoration in an effort to present them in a light that is worthy of their marvel.
I am grateful with full sincerity to be here, doing something that I find to be so incredibly special. To have even the littlest hand in connecting our modern world with the past fills me with so much joy, and I hope to extend this joy to as many others as I can.
Welcome to Daggers & Dames. Thank you for being here!
