Our Story

Every vintage piece has lived a life before it reaches our shelves.

It has been worn, celebrated, displayed, gifted, collected, or carefully tucked away until someone new discovers it. At ButterflyAndRaven Vintage, we believe those stories don't end—they simply begin a new chapter.

The name ButterflyAndRaven Vintage was born from two powerful symbols of transformation.

The raven represents curiosity, wisdom, and the search for hidden treasures. It reminds us to look beyond the surface and recognize beauty, craftsmanship, and history where others may overlook it.

The butterfly represents transformation. It reminds us that growth is possible, that beauty evolves over time, and that something once loved can become meaningful again in a completely new way.

Together, they reflect the heart of our brand: discovering timeless pieces from the past and helping them find new purpose in the present.

Every item is thoughtfully curated—not simply because it's vintage, but because it has character, quality, and the ability to become part of someone else's story. Whether it's a well-loved book, a delicate piece of glassware, a timeless jacket, or a statement accessory, we believe the objects we surround ourselves with should have meaning.

Our approach is rooted in intentional living. We celebrate craftsmanship over convenience, individuality over trends, and sustainability through giving beautiful pieces a second life.

ButterflyAndRaven Vintage is more than a place to shop.

It's a place for collectors, storytellers, homemakers, creatives, and vintage lovers who appreciate the beauty of things made to last.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

We hope every visit inspires you to discover something unexpected, embrace your own unique style, and remember that the most beautiful transformations often begin with something already rich in history.

Nice to meet you.

I’m Josette.

I’m the founder and curator behind ButterflyAndRaven Vintage, where every piece is chosen with one simple belief: the best things don’t lose their value with time—they gain character.

What started as a love for estate sales, thrift stores, and hidden treasures became a passion for helping others discover the beauty, craftsmanship, and stories that vintage pieces carry with them. I believe a well-loved jacket, a handwritten cookbook, a piece of art, or a set of vintage glassware can become part of someone’s next chapter.

The butterfly and the raven represent the heart of this brand. The raven seeks what has been overlooked. The butterfly reminds us that transformation is always possible. Together, they tell the story of giving beautiful things—and sometimes ourselves—a chance to become something new.

When I’m not treasure hunting, you’ll usually find me styling collections, researching the history behind unique finds, sharing vintage inspiration on Instagram, or encouraging others to embrace a more intentional way of shopping and living.

I’m so glad you’re here. I hope you find something that makes you smile, sparks a memory, or feels like it was waiting just for you.
