Born Again Vintage: The Collective. {Bigger & Better!}

On Thursday April 25th, I had the pleasure of dropping in the fabulous new location of Born Again Vintage to visit and congratulate it's owner, my friend Bridgett Artise. It's barely 3 weeks old and yet it feels like a mainstay on this charming winding road that leads to Bloomfield Avenue and luckily, she sits only a few feet from the Glenridge Avenue/Bloomfield Avenue intersection. Location is EVERYTHING.
Bridgett is the proprietor and designer of the brand, Born Again Vintage, which is an eco-friendly line of upcycled/recycled vintage garments made new, FRESH, and post-modern.
Un-altered vintage clothing and accessories are sold here as well as her book, Born Again Vintage.

Besides her line of fabulouness, Bridgett shares the spotlight with The Collective: her curated list of indie brands that she carries in this hip space.  Check out these designers' website or shop them in person. The boutique is a treasure trove of funky, fly designs; handmade body products;  and original art. You're certain to find something amazing there.
