Vendor Spotlight: Kozy Kat Vintage

Can you provide a description of your business?

Kozy Kat Vintage is a husband and wife team who live and love vintage. We are incurable collectors who enjoy bringing our love of vintage to others. We began selling vintage treasures in 2007, when we ran out of room to keep everything for ourselves. At Kozy Kat Vintage you will find a variety of vintage treasures for your home and wardrobe in a wide range of eras and styles. All of the items we sell are carefully chosen for their excellent condition and quality. We believe that good vintage pieces can breathe new life into your home and wardrobe, giving you a space and style that is uniquely yours.

What led you to open your business?

We began selling vintage treasures in 2007, when we ran out of room to keep everything for ourselves. We thought, why not share our love of vintage with others.

What do you love most about being an entrepreneur?

To do what you love and love what you do on a daily basis is truly a blessing.

What do customers tend to love most about your collection?

Our customers appreciate the large variety of items we offer and that our items are in excellent condition.

What items tend to be your best sellers?

We sell a huge variety of items so that’s a tough question! Kitchenware and barware are always very popular, as are dresses and costume jewelry. Also, our records are always a big hit.

What do you love most about vintage shopping?

The thrill of the hunt is definitely addictive! I like to call it treasure hunting. We go on vintage road trips at least once a week and it’s so much fun!

If you could transport yourself into any era for one day, which era would it be? How would you spend the day?

There are so many eras I would love to transport myself to! My favorite eras are the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. I think the 20’s would be my first pick. It was a time when woman defied society’s standards of what woman were supposed to do, say, wear and act like. Woman gained the right to vote and broke out of their domestic shell. It was a time of flappers, shorter skirts, dramatic makeup and shorter hair. Society was beginning to accept that women could be independent and make choices for themselves in education, jobs, marital status, and careers. Women’s lives were broadening to include public as well as home life. I think it would be an exciting time to experience. I’d love to spend the day, or rather, the night, dancing the night away in a jazz club.

What sets your business apart from other vintage retailers?

We only buy and sell what we, ourselves, love and all our items are in excellent condition. If we wouldn’t have it in our home or wear it ourselves, we don’t sell it!
