Meet the girl behind Mouse Vox Vintage!
Is there anything you should look out for when buying vintage online?
Rachel: First and foremost, it’s important to remember that a vintage piece is often decades old and is bound to show some wear, as it’s not factory new. Paying attention to measurements and reading all of the fine print and information in item descriptions is also so important.
As a vintage retailer, it’s important to me that my buyers are satisfied with their purchases – taking the time to read descriptions and all of the information provided will ensure that a buyer knows what they’re getting into.
Where do you shop for vintage?
Rachel:Most of my vintage shopping is done at thrift stores, but if I’m in need of a killer piece on the spot, my favorite local vintage shop is Venus & Mars, co-owned by Karen Elson, Italian Vogue cover model and wife to Jack White. Online, I love to peruse eBay & Etsy from time to time as well.

I have seen this girl’s studio. Her taste permeates all the things around her. She truly lives her craft, and has been known to disappear with party guests only to have them come back clad in Rachel-wear.
She is a trip…
I’ve been thrift store shopping with her… this girl can spot a deal and she is generally unstoppable.
Rachel, I feel connected to you via members of your family that I know and love—–Pricilla for one. I will not take this any further until I know for certain you are the Rachel Combs from Virginia.
I have heard wonderful things about you and was given your website. The more I browse through your lovely vintage clothing the more impressed I am. I wish you wonderful success with your endeavor—laughter in your life and peace in your soul —-a long life on this earth to indulge all these wishes. Jacqueline Shoemaker
