about tw

tradewinds was born from my deep passion for vintage fashion and interior design, paired with a commitment to making authentic personal style and well-designed spaces accessible to everyone.

while living in Los Angeles (specifically Long Beach - the mecca), I was immersed in a vibrant secondhand and vintage culture. with limited funds, frequent moves, and tastes that exceeded our budgets, my friends and I turned to thrift shops. We spent hours perusing the racks, furnished our apartments and each developed our own unique sense of style along the way.

i’ve always preferred being a conscious consumer over following fleeting trends and my mission is to empower people to express their true selves through these timeless, pre-loved treasures that stand the test of time, prioritizing quality over quantity from coast to coast.
