NOV is Born:
We are Adrienne and Tracey, a mother-daughter duo with killer fashion instincts and a love for crazy adventures. We live for the thrill of the hunt and are not strangers to hyperventilating over a fabulous find. The ultimate comrades, we are, a true blend of old and young. Adrienne’s strength in research and her unrivaled level of energy, combined with Tracey’s innate style and vision, create a partnership that is undeniably unique and unstoppable. After ten plus years in the business we are experts in making vintage now.
We never tire of discussing what’s next in fashion and live to introduce customers to our ever-evolving collection of sexy silhouettes, edgy prints and patterns, ridiculously thin vintage tee’s, and jaw-dropping jewelry and accessories. Adrienne and Tracey are fashion advisers, but are not stuffy or snooty. Our philosophy is “price to sell,” so that our vintage finds can be reinterpreted and relished by the new owner. We believe in good karma and pride ourselves on making the client feel comfortable. Our merchandise speaks for itself, customers never feel pressured to buy…they just want to.
What’s in a Name?
NOV \naah-vh\
The term "NOV" is the brainchild of Adrienne and Tracey Baskin. NOV combines the words now (at the present time or moment) and vintage (fashionable clothing, jewelry, and accessories from a previous time).
NOV is not only the name of our business, it can (and should!) be used as an adjective to describe impeccable vintage finds and/or the person showcasing the look.
At NOV we strive to make vintage modern, fashionable, and fun. Each item in our collection is hand-picked with the purpose of moving fashion forward, inspiring style, and creating the perfect look. Our pieces blend with the styles of today, creating a fusion that is chic and unique.
Host a fantastic NOV vintage party! Custom tailor your party for you and your guests. You decide what items to sell. Choose from our vast collection of vintage tee’s, jewelry, dresses, handbags, and accessories. As a host of the event, you will score some NOVelties of your own.
