"Fashion is fleeting, but style is forever. At Vogueabond, we celebrate the stories behind the stitches."

Founder

Nadia

The heart and soul of Vogueabond’s creative direction, blends youthful energy with a timeless artistic sensibility. As the mastermind behind the shop’s striking murals and visual storytelling, she ensures every corner of Vogueabond reflects its signature charm and personality.

Sofia

Employee of the Month

Tina, the dachshund with a flair for fashion, is more than just a shop mascot—she’s the muse behind Vogueabond’s whimsical charm. With her signature pearl necklaces and baroque expressions, Tina embodies the quirky elegance that defines the shop.
Known for her star power, Tina’s mural portraits adorn the shop walls, and her blue and brown eyes have inspired exclusive scarf designs that have become customer favorites.

A true diva with impeccable taste, Tina is the four-legged embodiment of Vogueabond’s motto: “Style is for everyone, even if you have four paws.”

Muse and Mascot

Tina the Diva

Meet Vogueabond’s perpetual Employee of the Month— not because she works hard, but because she works smart. Her daily duties include:

• Greeting visitors with an aristocratic bark (or yawn).
• Modeling pearl necklaces and vintage accessories like a seasoned pro.
• Supervising shop displays from her favorite Burberry stool.

Tina’s “hard work” has earned her a cult following among customers, who often return just to catch a glimpse of the shop’s most glamorous team member. She might take frequent nap breaks, but when it comes to embodying the essence of Vogueabond, no one does it better.
“Work like Tina: Look fabulous, take naps, and leave everyone wanting more.”

Employee

What makes a real difference among vintage shops is the taste of the owner. Nadia is definetely an artist and in her boutique in the Monti neighborhood you find some really valuable pieces. Original, authentic and in great confitions. I often come here to check latest treasures when I want to wear something unique.

Eva Jannotti

The Allure of Vintage: The Charm of Patina and the Stories It Tells

The Charm of Patina and the Stories It Tells

In a world that thrives on the new, shiny, and instant, vintage objects stand as quiet rebels. They whisper stories of a bygone era, carry the weight of history, and exude a character that mass production could never replicate. Among the many facets of vintage charm, the concept of patina — that subtle layer of wear and aging — is perhaps the most enchanting.

01

The Paradox of Imperfection

In an age obsessed with perfection, patina invites us to embrace imperfection. The craze for "distressed" furniture and pre-worn jeans might mimic the look, but true patina is earned over years, even decades. It's authentic, and authenticity is its greatest luxury.
Imagine a vintage Louis Vuitton trunk with its monogram faded and edges frayed—not flaws, but fingerprints of journeys across continents. Or an antique mirror with its silver backing slightly tarnished, refracting light with a dreamlike quality. These imperfections don't detract; they add. They create an intimacy between the object and its owner, a connection impossible with something fresh off the assembly line.

02

Patina as a Status Symbol

Interestingly, patina has become a mark of sophistication. In high-end vintage fashion and interior design, patina suggests that the wearer or owner values heritage over trends. A leather Birkin bag with softened edges doesn’t scream wealth — it whispers it, with all the restraint and refinement of old money.
Collectors, too, revel in the patina of their prized possessions. A vintage Rolex gains value not despite its worn bezel but because of it. The aging of materials tells a story of care, adventure, and rarity — a history worth cherishing.
