Thank you so much to everyone who helped make our launch party at McFadden's Ballpark such an amazing night!

Thank you to all our friends, family, and supporters who filled the bar last Friday night. I hope the first 50 people there enjoyed their Gift bag from Fabulous Stationary with goodies from Mugshots Cafe, Soy Cafe, Sephora, Primitve natural lipstick, The Little Candy Shoppe and more.

Thank you to all of the local businesses that donated gift certificates for the raffle with proceeds being donated to The Achieving Independence Center (www.aiphilly.org) including Arcadia Boutique, Philly Car Share, City Fitness, Studio Teknik, Chroma Hair Gallery, Art Star Gallery & Boutique, Chez Bow Wow, Moko Beauty Salon, and Honey's Sit 'N Eat.

Thank you to all of our promo models who walked around giving out vintage candy, popcorn, cracker jacks, and peatnuts as well as our models sporting our new line and some of our looks to come.

A special thank you to Mark from McFadden's and Cheldin of I-G Creative for making this event possible for us, and Akia and Da for being our side kicks and amazing helpers.

Launch Party at McFadden's Ballpark







Don't miss our launch party on September 19th and McFadden's Ballpark at the Phillie's Stadium! The event is from 9pm-2am.
In celebration of the our online launch, a small shop will be set up inside the bar. The shop will include the eco-friendly line of tees and totes, where customers can get an exclusive 15% discount for making an online purchase at the affair. A free Vintage Blue Mash Up CD will be included with purchase, with custom blends from the past and present, produced by Grand Larceny.

The giving doesn’t stop there. We will be handing out complimentary eco-friendly gift bags provided by Fabulous Stationary filled with goodies, such as Primitive Natural Lipstick, and gift certificates from various local companies. Attendees will also be lucky enough to scoop up free natural makeup products from Sephora, located on Chestnut Street. Raffles will also take place, offering gifts, such as $150 to Closet Fever, $100 to City Fitness, a gift basket provided by Mew Gallery, gift certificates from Honey's, and more. Proceeds will be donated to The Achieving Independence Center in Philadelphia.

The company’s tagline, The Future is in the Past, will give attendees at the September 19th party a head spin with the mix of displays of vintage suitcases, baseball bats, and balls as girls serve popcorn from old fashioned concession trays, styled with flaunting retro hairstyles, all while sporting Vintage Blue attire. Partygoers will enjoy complimentary beverages, drink specials, a “Nickel and Dime Menu” of baseball snacks such as Cracker Jacks, mini hotdogs, and pretzels, as a tribute to the 40’s and 50’s.

If chatter among peers isn’t entertainment enough, vintage board games will adorn tables to pass the night away and a sneak preview fashion show of the entire collection will grace the stage by the end of the night, with makeup provided by Sephora. To keep the event eco-friendly, The Recycling Alliance of Philadelphia has teamed up with Vintage Blue to keep all the bottles and cans from ending up in landfills.

We hope to see you all out there!
