About Us

I was raised in an antique shop and vintage has always been a big part of my life. When other kids were at school, I was home-schooled and most of my free time was spent elbow deep in history with my Mom. 

She was in love with her work, and she passed that love on to me, teaching the difference between Victorian and Edwardian, diamonds and fakes, and how to find the stories of women shining through each loving stitch of the clothes they left behind.

Mrs. Depew Vintage is built around preserving that history through education, restoration work, and reproductions of vintage sewing and embroidery patterns, books, and magazines.
