Description: We are Sasha and Amber of Violet Folklore, two good friends having a fabulous time playing dress up! We met (and fell in love with each others clothes!) in an Herbal Apprenticeship program in our hometown of Grass Valley, California. We both love fashion, art, herbalism, nature, music, and community, and we are lucky to live in a special place which has both great natural beauty and a tremendous culture of the arts. Nevada County is in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California, and has been home to sassy rebels and well-dressed visionaries since the Gold Rush days. The "Haunted Threads" which we hand pick for our Etsy shop come from our beautiful and soulful world, and we are so happy to find the right person for each special piece!

Amber is going to continue to run Violet Folklore, and Sasha has opened her own store, Astral Boutique. We will continue to bring you the same great folksy, fabulous threads that you love-- and now there will be even more of the vintage bounty!

Retail Therapy: Junkee Clothing Exchange, Reno, Nevada

My new best friend, an inebriated reindeer, couldn't get over my red lace 80s vintage dress, and she told me that I had to go to Junkee. When I came home, I looked it up online, and was won over immediately by a video of the employees dancing around the store in a choreographed routine, wearing incredible dresses and having waaaaay too much fun! 
Shop Preview!
We have been shopping up a storm this weekend, even crossing into neighboring Western states (Nevada! Whoo whoo!) to find the loveliest vintage clothes for you.... and I have to say, we have got some especially lovely things coming to  the shop this week! Here's a little sneaky peek:
Introducing The (Virtual) Gunne Sax Parade!
Remember how I was asking, post-Gunne Parade, for someone to please start a Gunne Sax database? Well, guess who jumped on it? None other than our friend Nicole from Atelier/Flaming Hag Folkwear!
