Ready for the day in my favorite sneaks (Tretorn navy patent high tops)
Shopping for vintage can be a frustrating experience. With the recent surge in popularity of all things vintage, I’ve found quite a few boutiques that seem to think they can get away with passing off old clothes as “vintage,” with little attention paid to style or quality.
An exception to this trend is edith machinist in the lower east side. Besides a kick-ass name, they have an amazing selection of shoes, clothing, bags, and jewelry that are of a condition unmatched by other vintage shops I frequent.
This afternoon, I soaked in the sun (wearing SPF 100 – wish I were joking) and headed downtown with no specific purpose, which is usually disastrous for my wallet. But today, I found that two of my favorite activities – eating and shopping – might have something unforeseen in common. At edith machinist I found two delicious pieces that, in their quality, completely satiated my spending appetite.
Marino Orlandi (with exquisite details I couldn't capture due to camera battery death!)
Basic but lovely boots circa 1970s, made in italy - unsure of brand/designer.
Needless to say, my photography doesn’t capture the details or beauty of either piece (I was scrambling to shoot them before my battery died), but I highly recommend edith machinist for your vintage (especially accessories) cravings. You will be satisfied.
