When I visited California, the closest I got to the State’s south was sitting next to a one-armed guy from San Diego at the Greyhound Station in Hollywood. But if I had ventured down to Southern Cali I would have pleasantly learnt that a) most of its inhabitants are blessed with two arms and b) there’s an f-load of excellent vintage goods to be had.
Ramona West is a veritable online Mecca for followers of quality vintage wear. Each garment has been sourced and hand-picked by SoCal curator Marybeth Andrews, who styles and displays only the finest threads SoCal’s vintage stores have to offer. Marybeth works hard for her money and updates the store on an almost weekly basis.
All items are professionally restored and tailored to suit the modern girl – so less wrestling with zippers and strained seams and more sweet floral mini dresses, silk blazers and (yes, oh my holy god) white wicker handbags. And to sweeten the deal, shipping is free if you spend over $100.
