MY Vintage Story

My connection to vintage fashion started in the 90s — not as a trend, but simply because it was what my mom could afford at the time. What began as necessity quickly became fascination. By my late teens and early twenties, I was deep in the hunt — searching for the most distinctive vintage jackets, trousers, dresses, handbags, and belts I could find. At just 16, I had my first consignment sale on Polk Street in San Francisco and walked away with $300 — which felt major for a teenager in the 90’s, but more than anything, it affirmed something I already knew: style and storytelling were always going to be part of my path.

Jewelry and accessories have always been closest to my heart. Over the years, I’ve built a collection that feels less like objects and more like memory, energy, and lineage. These pieces continue to inspire how I design today — shaping COCOACENTRIC in ways that honor history while living fully in the present. I’m excited to share some of these special vintage finds with you — pieces that carry soul, story, and timeless presence.
