About this user
Some may call Michelle Parparian the queen of thrifting, but she just thinks of it as a way of life. She loves the hunt and the high of finding great vintage treasures. Michelle has been picking and collecting since the age of 5, traveling to flea markets, fairs and auctions. She grew up manning the counter of her parents bustling North Carolina restaurant, learning early on that love and long hours are the secret ingredients to success. She went on to study fashion and fell hopelessly enamored by vintage apparel. She opened her retail shop (House of Vintage) in 2003, which quickly became a south Florida staple in the vintage/fashion world and recognized nationally by media and television. In summer of 2010, Michelle closed her retail shop to travel and shop around the country hunting for vintage. She operates her business through her many online stores, out of her warehouse space and vends at craft and vintage shows around Florida.
