Summer Market Vendor Spotlight: Inherited

Posted by | events, vendor spotlight | No Comments

VTG CLT is popping up at the warehouse located at 2205 N Tryon, Charlotte, NC for the fourth annual Summer Market on July 24th (VIP Shop) and 25th (Market Day)! Come out and spend the day shopping with over 80 vintage & handmade vendors. Leading up to the market, we’ll be sharing vendor spotlight posts that give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors in advance of the market.

We are really excited to welcome Sabrina from Inherited to the Vintage Charlotte Summer Market.  Her Summer collection is swoon worthy and we can’t wait to see it in person!  Here is Sabrina breaking down her curatorial choices:

All vintage vendors offer a unique perspective on the pieces we sell. Some of us stick to a specific era; others focus on collecting a particular type of item. Each of us are drawn to these things for a reason, and the way we curate tem tells a story.

Inherited’s intention is to offer pieces that have a sense of romance and wearability — the kinds of clothes you’d inherit if you had a wild, world-traveling great-aunt or a burlesque-dancer-turned-botanist grandmother (if anyone does have this kind of relative, I’m filled with envy).

I’ve pulled together a Summer Capsule with pieces from the 1940s to the 1970s that capture a bit of what Inherited offers: neutral-toned separates that can be mixed and matched; fabrics like crochet lace, linen and embroidered silk that are nice to look at and touch; and bold prints that are eye-catching without being overwhelming.

This capsule is made for summer vacation: all of the pieces can be thrown on without too much fuss. There’s an embroidered caftan you can wear over your bikini, a few dresses that can be worn to dinner or brunch, loose blouses that let you breathe on a hot day, and silky tap pants perfect for staying in. The prints and textures add some exotic appeal, so you can feel like you’ve traveled the world while sitting on your back porch.

The items in this capsule collection (and many others!) will be available at the Vintage Charlotte Summer Market. Looking forward to seeing you there!

We are really excited to welcome Amanda from Formation Design Studio to her first Vintage Charlotte market.  Amanda’s goal is to design your favorite garments.  All of us wanted to wear her effortless, relaxed garments, and we think you will too. Here is Amanda sharing her journey, and what drives her as a designer:

IMG_2661
 I graduated with a BFA in Fashion Design from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in 2005. Soon after I was designing for Urban Outfitters. After many years with the company, I decided to move back home to North Carolina in 2010, continuing to freelance design. It was then that I branched out on my own with Formation Design Studio.

IMG_2737My design aesthetic is influenced heavily by my past design experiences with Urban Outfitters, but I have also tried to brand my line more individually… designing and making more organically. It is important to me that I deliver garments that are long lasting, with quality and edge. IMG_3232
I believe that it is important to understand where and how your garment came to life. My designs are made in small quantities with a non-seasonal approach throughout the year, so each piece is unique and wonderful. There is a dedication to quality and detail in every garment. Each piece is made by me, in my North Carolina studio.  Unlike mass production, there is something special about knowing that you have one of just a few pieces made. You and I are part of something that was developed with care, precision, and passion. I want for you to go back to your closet for this “favorite” time and time again.
