Once upon a time in a quaint town nestled in West Texas lived a wise and enterprising grandfather named Jack Berg. Jack was the proud owner of a successful wholesale business that he started in 1952. He dealt in various goods, from textiles to kitchenware, electronics and toys, and was known for his exceptional quality and fair prices.
Jack had always dreamed of his legacy continuing, and sure enough, his son Tanny Berg ended up taking over the business. Little did he know that fate had a plan in store. His beloved granddaughter, Alana, had grown up listening to her father’s and grandfather's tales of the business adventures and seeing the passion in their eyes.
In the 1990’s, after almost 40 years in business together, Jack and Tanny Berg decided it was time to shut down the wholesale business. They locked the doors to their famous warehouses and never looked back.
Alana is a creative and ambitious young woman who loves all things vintage. The vintage aesthetic fascinates her, from the elegance of bygone eras to the nostalgia that old items carried. Especially the 80’s in which she grew up.
In 2022, Alana ventured into the warehouse to see what she would find, and her findings blew her mind! The warehouse she grew up playing in as a child was still filled with many of the items she remembered her father and grandfather selling, and a majority of these items she found in their original boxes, unused, and in pristine condition. She immersed herself in research, learning about the intricacies of the vintage industry and began studying the various aspects of vintage fashion and design. She scoured her grandfather’s vast inventory and carefully selected the most unique and timeless pieces, from electronics, jewelry, delicate lace fabrics to vintage kitchenware.
Word of Alana’s vintage e-retail store spread like wildfire throughout the town and beyond. People flocked to the shop, their hearts filled with nostalgia and curiosity. The enchanting displays along with Alana’s passion to carry on her family’s legacy created an immersive experience that transported visitors to a bygone era.
