Field notes
Why it belongs
Vintage clothing, novelty apparel, handmade jewelry, old curiosities, strange gifts, recycled objects, and bizarre handmade art.
The inventory is selected for surprise rather than a conventional retail category, placing vintage fashion, novelty gifts, curiosities, and strange handmade objects together.
The store began with vintage clothing and expanded into a deliberately unpredictable collection of old and new merchandise. Weird socks, retro sunglasses, recycled clothing, strange gifts, curiosities, handmade earrings, dinosaur-human figures, and plants emerging from doll-head planters share the compact downtown space.
