Cali's Vintage Homeless Indian

Many of you may remember, when first launching my thrift shop, it was called Vintage Homeless. There's a little more behind that name. The full name was actually, Vintage Homeless Indian. When asked a few years back 3 words to best describe my style, those 3 words: vintage homeless Indian, were the most suitable. Back in my early twenties, I was retro, grudge, and bohemian all at the same time.

A pattern from a pair of pants I picked up!

Although I have outgrown those days, I still have a great appreciation for the vintage pieces and India's culture. When visiting Little India, also known as Artesia, in the state of California, I stumbled upon Sahara's Vintage Boutique. I was in vintage-bohemian-heaven! It's family owned and all proceeds go to Domestic Violence. If ever in LA, be sure to check it out!

There was a wall of beautiful Tikkas like this one!
