Meanwhile, my historian husband has just had his new book released yesterday, called @bunkerhilllosangeles by Angel City Press If you are at all interested in #LosAngelesHistory you would be wise to check it out (follows so appreciated on this new page)! I proudly took this photo of him for the About the Author part, and of course, he wears all authentic 1930s #vintagemenswear. Tonight at 6 tune in for his amazing lecture during the official book launch and see even more rare photos of early #LosAngeles. I’m so proud had to share! ... Back to selling vintage soon now! #BunkerHill #BunkerHillLosAngeles #NathanMarsak #mensvintage #historiclosangeles

Cheers to what was an incredible 7 years! Cheers to the fun of those times, cheers to a better future, and cheers to all of you that supported this #vintage biz! Here’s some customer/friend pics from the last week of the shop being opened, end of August. It’s for the best right now given all the circumstances, but indeed there will be a possibility of opening a new location down the line. Meanwhile, setting up still to continue selling online, and watch for future pop ups and vending. See you again real soon here! #vintagestore #papermoonvtg #papermoonvintage #vintagebiz #covidsucks

The time has come... this full moon today marks the official closure of this brick and mortar on Hollywood Blvd. Yes, it is with heavy regret that you can no longer physically visit, but there’s just no alternative with the pandemic and high rent combined. Moving online only for now, with future pop-ups and events and shows down the line, possibly creating a showroom/studio by appointment. Will continue with the usual on-line sales and posts here (after a short break to restr...ucture), but even more and better than before without all the stress of the shop. It’s been a roller coaster of thrills and joy over the last 7 years and I am so appreciative of every single person involved. It’s a bummer indeed to close during a pandemic, without the usual fanfare and closing sales. But please stay tuned, and know that it will continue in other ways, doing what I love- sharing the beauty of #vintage clothing. So again, thank you for 7 amazing years! #papermoonvtg #vintagestore #losangelesvintage #papermoonvintage See more

Exactly one week from now, join in on this fantastic program if you love Art Deco fashion!

Perhaps a bit of a dramatic image and title on this 1920s sheet music, but it does reflect these Times for some boutique small businesses with brick and mortars. Have been open but there’s very little business, some days none at all. And understandably really! So for In Store, take off 25% off everything the rest of this month, possibly with bigger sales to come soon (inevitable perhaps). Plus Special Clearance racks with 50% off! Plus a yard sale table of quirky neat old items in the other room! Spacious and great AC. The Etsy shop will go on sale for 15% off those special items (link in profile) with some on further discount. #vintagesale #losfelizbusiness #vintagestore #LAvintage #papermoonvtg

Sharing Sunday! Sharing some in-store customer pics, all looking so fab out shopping and supporting #smallbusiness safely. The cover here featuring @rockinzena made own #vintagestyle dress with matching mask from vintage fabric - a huge inspiration! As did another flower power shopper, you’ll see when swiping. The others are trying things on in the shop, often a perfect fit. Finding that is always a challenge but so worth it for when you do. Come find your own tomorrow during the full moon sale, Monday Aug 3rd, from 1-6 pm for 25% off everything! #vintagefashion #vintageshopping #vintagesale #vintageclothing #PaperMoonVintage @ Paper Moon Vintage
