Thiri and I recently returned from another L.A. shopping trip where we picked out pounds upon pounds of vintage clothing just for you! We found some really super pieces, everything from cool men’s snap westerns, adorable 80s sun dresses, groovy 70s polyester, fun vintage leather purses, 60s cocktail minis and so much more!

So as I write this, we are getting it out on the shelves, you just have to come by 2022 Magazine Street to check it out!

Can’t wait to see you,

It’s that exciting time of year when Thiri and I get to travel to Vegas to go shopping! Once a year, we pack up and head out to the clothing conventions held in Las Vegas. There, we get to meet with all our vendors and designers and see all new products. We also get to scope out any fun new lines we would be great for the store. It’s a lot of work, but it’s still fun!

This year we will be visiting some of our favorites, Vicarious by Nature, She Bible and Threads for Thought. And we have appointments with new comers, M2F, an organic denim line and Voices Republic, an organic t-shirt company. Hopefully they’ll meet Branch Out’s high standards of excellence!

So keep an eye out for all the new products we’ll be getting in for this Spring and next Fall!

xoxo,
