The luggage has landed back stateside and out popped these incredible antique Art Deco Shelley dripware with seasonal exuberance! Despite their groovy, contemporary tie-dye look, these were made in England during the interwar period. Come feast your eyes on these beauties on Saturday October 24th at the @berkeleyvintagemarket ! by @reparationshardware

These gorgeous vintage Liz Claiborne tapestry luggage sets will be available once they're back from a little adventure. I also have Big Bertha's matching carry-on purse for those with big adventure needs. Look for these lovely ladies next month for our big Halloween sale (details tbd).

Few things I love more than causing a scene! Still not doing math on a Sunday but I know that lots of folks went home with trashy and/or charming treasures in support of our immigrant community via @eastbaysanctuary at yesterday's thoroughly delightful @berkeleyvintagemarket!

I just love the conversations our wares spark. My favorite part of the day was the retired nurse who lives in the senior residences near Strawberry Creek Park who told me all about finding her late husband's porn stash upon husband's passing. When I asked her if she was surprised and how she felt about it said she was proud of him. He was 15 years her junior and sexually inexperienced and when they met. She had previously found out he had an affair decades into their marriage and she was very happy for him! So special shout out to that lady, she was hella cool.

All that to say, shop reparations hardware for the community and join the conversation!

Will post a more coherent recap of today's fantastic @berkeleyvintagemarket sale after my brain recombobulates but I thought this image of a Rerun ass Rasta Tam O'shanter, bougie looking circus clown and deeply ironic Bush Era Persian Gulf propaganda tee captures the reparations hardware ethos pretty well. Ok, nighty-night! #whatshappening #seriouslysomeonetellmewhatishappening taken in Strawberry Creek Park by @reparationshardware

We're up to our old tricks and are pulling some vintage magic sets from our hat for tomorrow's @berkeleyvintagemarket in Strawberry Creek Park from 11-4! And here's the real gag, 100% of our proceeds from the day will be donated to @eastbaysanctuary who provide free and low-cost legal services to our local immigrant community! by @reparationshardware

Congratulations to all of last night's winners of the @karaoakland Power Ballads song contest last night @firesidealameda ! Dolly’s spirit was raging like a horny butterfly through the room and love was breaking out all over! Although we are bereft we are uplifted by uncomfortable heels and orthopedic soles alike, as Dolly would surely approve💗 🦋💗🦋💗🦋💗🦋💗🦋💗🦋💗🦋💗 by @reparationshardware

Nothing makes me happier than seeing the smiles on people's faces when they approach my booth except for when they also go home with a one-of-a-kind treasure in support of our local immigrant community @eastbaysanctuary . I cant do math on Sundays for spiritual reasons but my back of the envelope scribblings estimate a nearly $500 donation coming their way. Oh wait I lied, I was happiest when one person appeared to get my sweaty Tennessee Williams pun so shout out to them, "Cat in a Hot Tin Roof, Rusted!" by @reparationshardware
