Passport Vintage

Description

PASSPORT is fashion-forward and ever-evolving vintage shop founded by Ryan Lerma and Maria Oliveira in Chicago, IL. We are constantly inspired by new music, art, and travel and we love to breathe that air into vintage curation. We are not purists in our curation and prefer pieces to evolve and gain new life as they are worn by the people they are discovered by. We focus on 60s - 90s styles and we aren't afraid to modify pieces to fit modern needs. In our humble opinion, it is better to modify jeans to fit today's aesthetics and get them sold, therefore recycling the denim, than to preserve it and leave it unworn. There are definitely special pairs that ought to be preserved, but for the bulk of denim, our focus is to give them new life. PASSPORT launched in the Spring of 2014 as a vintage shop on Etsy. In the Summer of 2016 Passport Vintage opened its first location in Austin, Texas's East side. The shop is now located in Central South Austin.
