Petals & Jackets began as a quarantine escape. Like many, I had a desire to turn that at home time into a hobby. Rummaging through my wardrobe, perusing ebay, putting together looks with vintage and everyday staples and sharing them on Instagram became my passion project. My closet gradually became an eclectic trove of sentimental treasures, and I loved it.
Owner
Cut to spring of 2022, on a cold but sunny March walk, I ran into a pop-up store in Chicago's West Town neighborhood. The owner was looking for someone who wanted to resell vintage. My mind instantly shouted, pick me!
By the fall of 2022, the same storefront's lease became available and my initial hobby officially evolved into something much bigger. I have always dreamed about a space to share my joy of fashion and thrifting, but I never navigated the logistics. Deep in a decade-long funk of corporate advertising, I had the gut feeling that if I didn’t try it now, I probably never would.
