Fresh vintage tees.

This week's drop came in hot with some real 90s band bangers, the kind that make you stop scrolling, zoom in on the tag, and immediately start figuring out how fast you can get to the shop.

We've got perfectly faded graphics, soft vintage cotton, and enough nostalgia packed onto one rack to soundtrack an entire summer.

A few are rare. A few are weird. A few are destined to disappear within hours.

You know the drill: once they're gone, they're gone.

Doors are open. The tee rack is loaded. Come dig.

Every once in a while, something comes through the door that makes even us stop and stare.

This week it's a truly rare early-aughts Kurt Cobain "Teenage / The End of Music" tee.

These don't show up often, and when they do, they're all over the map. Online comps range from $75 to $575 depending on condition, size, and seller.

Ours?

$85.

The graphic is iconic, the era is right, and it's the kind of shirt that rarely sticks around once people realize what they're looking at.

One for one; truly. Come grab it before it’s gone!

The new shoe wall is officially shaping up, and she's got range.

Looking for something polished? We've got classy Chelsea boots ready to make every outfit look a little more put together. Funky heels. Oh, yes.

Looking for something with a little more attitude? We've got that too.

In fact, we may have just acquired the most righteous pair of vintage Westex sh*t kickers we've ever laid eyes on. The kind of boots that look like they've seen a few honky-tonks, survived a few bad decisions, and still have stories left to tell.

That's the fun of the shoe wall right now—every pair feels a little different. Some are timeless, some are weird, some are rugged, and some are just waiting for the right person to spot them.

Come take a look. You might leave with the boots. You might leave with a whole new personality.

Well friends, it looks like today wasn't meant to be.

Power is out on the entire Capouse block we'll be closing for the day. Bummer…

A little windy out there today, but the sun is shining and the shop is looking extra cozy.

Here are a few of our favorite corners of the store this Saturday: packed with vintage clothes, old-school games, movies, handmade goods, and all the nostalgic treasures we can't seem to stop bringing home.

We love days like this. The music is spinning, people are wandering, stories are being shared, and every shelf seems to hold something that reminds someone of another time.

If you're out and about today, stop by and say hi. Take your time, browse the collections, and enjoy the nostalgic scenery with us.

We'll be here.

Introducing our new Summertime capsules. ☀️🖤

A little nostalgic. A little moody. A little “spent the entire summer making playlists and wandering around thrift stores.”

This round of styling is all about textures, stripes, oversized layers, and that perfectly undone 90s energy we never seem to get tired of.

We’re pairing vintage patterned sweaters with cut-off jean shorts and striped socks like it’s a seaside coming-of-age film from 1997.

Pretty striped button-downs with preppy vintage blazers and wide-leg mariner jeans for the girls who romanticize coastal bookstores and old Ralph Lauren ads.

And of course: striped tees, handmade vintage jorts, and fuzzy Cobain-style acrylic cardigans for the perfectly slouchy, “borrowed from a bandmate” silhouette.

The whole collection feels sun-faded, slightly melancholic, and very ready for late summer nights, diner coffee, and finding treasures in unexpected places.

In-store now.

This week’s vintage tee drop is for the people who like their closets a little weird, a little loud, and a little fan boy.

We’ve got some absolute band tee bangers in the mix, a rare sighting from Orlando’s one and only Beefy King, and a Phillies fan find that feels spiritually connected to yelling at the TV in someone’s basement circa 1998 (even though you’re still doing it in 2026.)

Basically: the rack is stacked with conversation starters this week.

Perfect fades, soft vintage cotton, strange regional treasures, and the kind of tees that make people stop mid-sentence to say “wait… where did you get that?”

As always, first come first served.
The good ones never stay quiet for long.

Plaid attitude; absolute chaos.

Our SKA/No Doubt-inspired capsule collection just hit the floor, and it is CHOCK full of plaid love. Think 90s alt girl energy, stompy shoes, layered tanks, checkerboard moments, and enough “I’m just a girl” nostalgia to soundtrack your entire weekend.

Come dig through the madness before someone cooler than you grabs it first. 💋
