Our story
Three friends. Twenty-five years. One obsession.
We met in college, lived every chapter of life side by side, and somewhere along the way turned a shared love of fashion and travel into something real.
How it started
We weren't looking for a business. We were looking for beautiful things.
Jenni, Angie, and Min have been friends for twenty-five years — through college, careers, moves, marriages, and everything in between. Fashion and travel were always the threads that ran through it all. Wherever we went, we were hunting: markets in Tokyo, flea stalls in Paris, estate sales in Portland. We couldn't stop finding things.
Eventually we had more than we could keep. So we started sharing — first with each other, then with anyone who'd listen. The more we curated, the more we realized this wasn't just a hobby. It was a point of view.
Vintage Seouls is built on a simple belief: finding the right piece should make you happy. And happy people bring us joy. That's what this is about — not inventory, not transactions. Just beautiful things, finding the right people.
Meet the three of us
Co-founder
Jenni
Jenni has always had an eye for the extraordinary hiding in plain sight. Decades of travel sharpened her instincts — she knows within seconds whether something belongs in the edit. She's the one who spots the piece everyone else walked past.
Currently loves
Unexpected finds in unexpected places, anything with provenance, and the look on someone's face when they find the one.
Co-founder
Angie
Angie is the engine behind every pop-up — the sourcing trips, the logistics, the reason the racks are always full of exactly the right things. She's traveled further and dug deeper than anyone we know in pursuit of a great piece, and she never comes back empty-handed.
Currently loves
The thrill of the hunt, vintage luxury accessories, and a well-organized rack.
Co-founder
Min
Min brings the warmth that makes every Vintage Seouls event feel like a gathering rather than a sale. She's the one who remembers what you were looking for last time, who makes sure every customer leaves feeling seen — and usually leaves with something they didn't know they needed.
Currently loves
Connection, community, and the moment a stranger puts something on and lights up.
What we believe
Happy customers are the whole point.
We got into this because finding the right piece makes people genuinely happy. That joy is contagious — it's what keeps us driving to estate sales at 7am and hauling racks across Portland.
Curation over quantity.
Twenty-five years of travel and collecting taught us that the best edits are ruthless. Every piece at a Vintage Seouls pop-up has been handled, considered, and chosen. Nothing makes the cut by accident.
Luxury should have a past.
The pieces we love most have already lived a life. We think that history adds something — a quality no new garment can replicate. We find it, care for it, and pass it on.
