About Black Cat Vintage
Black Cat Vintage was begun in 2005 to preserve the disappearing art of dressing beautifully. Representing over a century of fashion history, our collection includes the work of legendary artists and nameless designers alike, with each piece chosen as an exceptional reflection of its time and carefully restored to its glorious original condition. After over 25 years of collecting, our archive has been featured in museum exhibits, worn at the Emmys, costumed television performances and populated designer archives. We sincerely look forward to sharing it with you as well.
