Lost Girls was founded…
by Sarah Azzouzi and Kyla Embrey, who met over a game of Farkle! It's a dice game based on risk and the big takeaway of the game: "No risk, no reward!" That saying has become the guiding principle for Lost Girls Vintage.
With that mantra they joined forces to create a unique brand for the environmental and fashion conscious individual who marches to the beat of their own drum. Providing a collection of quality vintage clothing from the 1930’s-1990’s, they promote sustainability through resale practices. They paved their way with an innovative alternative to a storefront- A 1976 Winnebago that they rehabbed into a mobile shop. “We put the pedal to the metal when we launched our mobile vintage shop in 2013 and we're not looking back!”
Lost Girls Vintage is more than just a vintage clothing business, it's a mindset. It's about unapologetically living a fearless life of fun and adventure. About never giving up, following your dreams, and breaking all the molds. Lost Girls is knowing yourself, loving yourself, and confidently presenting that true self to the world.
Meet Winnie!
Winnie is the RV that started it all! Sarah found her on Craigslist, and as soon as we saw her we knew she was the one for us. Don't tell our parents, but we didn't even test drive her before we said we'd take her (FYI - this worked out for us, but we do not endorse making such big life choices so naively!) She's a 1976 Dodge Sportsman that we gutted and completely customized (with the help of carpenter John King). Winnie has taken us across the Midwest, as far south as Austin, TX and as far east as Portland, ME. These days, we're keeping her as a city gal for pop-ups in and around Chicago.
For our out of town pop-ups, we adopted Mini Winnie thanks to the help from our friends at Happy Campers Vintage. Mini is a 1978 Scotty Gaucho camper with the signature Scotty swoosh over her wheel wells. And yes! We painted her ourselves! If you see us on the open road, give us a honk or a wave!
Our collection runs the gamut from Victorian garments to pieces any Spice Girl would be proud of... and everything in between! So what ties it all together? We only sell what we love! And with influences like Carmen Miranda, Stevie Nicks, Moroccan design, Emmy Lou Harris, American rodeos, and all the amazing adventurers we meet on the wide open road and the wide open internet, there's sure to be something for everyone! We carry sizes 00-18 and there's plenty for all the Lost Boys out there, too. Find us at our showroom space in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood, popping up around Chicago in Winnie, or across the US in Mini Winnie. Happy Trails!
