Hi! I’m Katy, owner of Nomadic Attic Vintage. I’ve been obsessed with thrifting since I can remember. Growing up in the 80s was so much fun with Cabbage Patch Kids, Nintendo, Walkmans (I could go on) but the sheer volume of plastic junk was intoxicating. Toys Were Us! From a very young age I became aware of the “real deal” versus the crud beginning with my hand-me-down leather roller skates. They were far superior in quality and style to those blue and yellow plastic fakey skates my neighbor had. As a teenager in the early nineties, I’d spend my weekends at Sharky’s on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California where I could fill a garbage bag with flannels, perfectly worn-in thermals, and silk Indian print hippie dresses for less than $10. I’d buy some Nag Champa incense from a street vendor for a dollar and then head to Crossroads to grab something polyester. Sometimes I would hit up Haight Street in SF in the same weekend. The discarded relics from the Beatniks and bohemians of the 50s or the hippies of the 60s or the hip cats of the seventies was overwhelming in the best way. Those were the glory days thrifting and I took my quest for originality very seriously. I loved the thrill of finding that weird funky stuff that no one else had! My efforts didn’t go unnoticed and I earned a place on the style page of my high school yearbook freshman year. Something I undoubtedly thought was silly then, but makes me smile today as I write this. I still enjoy the thrill of the hunt that is true thrifting so I‘m pounding the pavement to seek the last of the vintage gold!
