About Me

Hey there!

Thank you for taking the time to shop at Helliconia Vintage! My name is Lissa, and I’m the owner. I’m originally from a small town in New Jersey and now reside in Savannah, GA. After graduating from college, I became the manager and buyer for a small vintage shop, and, as you can imagine, a whole new world opened up for me. I started learning about different brands, garment construction, and discovering one-of-a-kind pieces that carried so much history and story behind them. My obsession with band tees, purses, and boots grew 100x—and that’s saying a lot for a girl who grew up with huge malls just 15 minutes away in all directions and already had an intense personal collection.

I left the shop to pursue a career more focused on Fashion Design, which I studied at SCAD, but my love for vintage never faded. I started doing pop-up shops with my boyfriend, and, well, the rest is history! I fell back in love with selling, attending markets, sourcing pieces from all over the country—and now you have the opportunity to be a part of it all right here on this site! I hope you see that these pieces have years of life left in them and that you give them the love they deserve. I can’t wait to see how you style your new finds!

Xoxo,
Lissa
