Gorgeous model Noelle Reno talked to Vogue magazine recently about her absolute faith in the trend toward vintage looks.
“Vintage is the best way to capture one’s own unique style,” Reno said. “The craftsmanship and authenticity of one-off items means you never chance anyone wearing the same item – so it’s the easiest way to make an outfit pop. Also it’s a long-term investment as key vintage items can be handed down and retains – or even increase – their value.”
At Single Stone on San Marino’s Mission Street, where Reno’s words ring true as gold (and silver!), owner Corina Madilian stocks enchanting vintage pieces from the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s.
