About Ninja Vintage
Ninja Vintage was born during the summer of 2005. I originally started Ninja Vintage because I wanted to start a website
that embodied all the things that I was looking for in a vintage store but was unable to find. That is, I wanted to have a
store that was small and not overwhelming to a customer, offered wearable pieces for everyday, and at prices that the
average person (like me) could afford. I also wanted to showcase items that I love and bring them to the attention of
people who might be looking for something unique. Browsing through thrift store racks and finding a great vintage skirt or
top - it's kind of like digging up a piece of treasure. I want to share that with people who might not have the time or
patience to search through piles of clothing to find that one great piece.
I think that Ninja Vintage offers more wearable pieces than most vintage sites out there. That probably stems from my
casual sensibility when it comes to clothing. I like the fact that the vintage pieces that Ninja Vintage offers can be easily
incorporated into any contemporary wardrobe, yet still manage to stand out. They're like the little exclamation points to
every outfit.
In addition to all that, I've always liked the idea of recycling, and more and more I'm starting to believe that the notion of
brand new clothing is overrated. I like that vintage clothing has a history. Each piece had a whole life before it was
rediscovered, and someone who buys a vintage piece gives it a whole new life with them. It's sort of a romantic idea. It's
the same reason why I prefer to buy handmade items. There's a little bit of love put into each piece that makes it more
than just another piece of clothing. It makes it special and unique, and it makes the wearer feel a little bit more special for
wearing it. I love that feeling and I hope that every person who wears a piece from Ninja Vintage feels the same way.

About Me
My name is Jennifer, but everyone calls me Jenny. I'm a
22-year-old sometime student, born and raised in Southern
California. It was definitely my love of film that first made me
aware of vintage fashion. Ever since I first began developing an
interest in movies at 12 years old, I have been fascinated by the
style of films of the past, and especially of the '50s and '60s.
Looking at old photos of my parents during the '60s and '70s also
played a big part in helping my fondness for vintage clothing to
grow. They didn't have much money, but they still managed to
look great. I'd like to think that I inherited a some of my style
sensibility from them.
I spend most of my free time watching films, reading, going to
shows, festivals, museums, marketplaces and thrift stores. I
enjoy simple things. I love animals and nature and taking pictures
of anything and everything. I also love traveling and going on road
trips. When I'm not doing any of that, you'll usually find me
lounging around the house with my cat, Beatrix Kiddo, who
enjoys licking inanimate objects and winking her right eye for no
reason.
