About us
Behind the Creaky Door is a vintage clothing shop built on decades of experience, a love of well-made pieces, and the belief that the best things are the ones with a story.
Our journey began long before our online shop ever existed. For over 25 years, my mother has worked in the vintage and resale world—buying, consigning, and curating timeless clothing while building deep knowledge of quality, craftsmanship, and eras gone by. For the past 7+ years, I’ve carried that tradition forward, selling vintage and second-hand clothing on other platforms.
Now, we’re bringing everything home under one roof.
When the longtime owner of the shop my mother consigned with retired, we saw it as the perfect moment to join forces and create something of our own. Behind the Creaky Door is our shared space—a place where generations of experience meet modern online shopping, and where every piece is thoughtfully chosen, carefully inspected, and honestly described.
What You’ll Find Here
We specialize in:
-
Vintage and second-hand clothing with character
-
Well-made, timeless styles from past decades
-
Unique pieces you won’t find in big-box stores
-
Items chosen for quality, wearability, and story—not trends
Each item is hand-selected, measured, photographed, and listed with care. Because vintage isn’t one-size-fits-all, we believe transparency matters—from accurate measurements to clear condition notes.
Why “Behind the Creaky Door”?
Because the best finds are often hidden just out of sight.
Behind the creaky door might be a perfectly broken-in jacket, a dress that’s lived a life before yours, or a piece that feels like it was waiting just for you. Vintage has a way of connecting past and present, and we’re honored to help these pieces find their next chapter.
