Ever wonder how Unique Vintage started? Back in 2000, our vintage-loving CEO and Founder, Katie Echeverry, would spend her weekends browsing the local vintage shops in her hometown of Burbank, CA. Always in search of the perfect vintage dress, Katie quickly realized that she wasn’t alone and decided to try buying and reselling vintage styles on her very own website. A one-woman-show in the beginning, Katie set-up the very first version of uniquevintage.com, beginning to sell her vintage finds online, even turning her garage into the very first warehouse for our brand. Like a flash, a few years had flown by and Katie decided to turn her weekend passion project into a full-time dream job, beginning to design and sell her very own vintage-inspired dresses on the site under the Unique Vintage label.
