New Summer Items!

So we at the Counter Culture Collective hope you're enjoying your summers just as much as we are!  Aside from working non-stop and making time for mini-vacations (upstate and beach trips, PITCHFORK FESTIVAL IN TWO WEEKS!), we've got some new summer vintage items posted to the store!  A preview of some of our favorites:

The Double Sided Tank

We are swooning over this cute summer tank! With a tan and black zebra print front and a plain black back side, the print isn't too overpowering. The red piping along the arm and necklines adds a hot pop of color! To purchase this item, click here.


Vintage Blue Floral Dress

If you haven't noticed already, we are suckers for those awesome 90s floral print maxi dresses! This calf length maxi comes in the sweetest shade of pastel yellows and blues, making it the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. Grunge it up with a hat and some Doc Martens!

Happy summer and happy shopping!

Vintage Plaid Vest

This vintage plaid vest is a great transitional piece that can be worn all year round!




On cooler days, wear over a button down with trousers like Dave.  Hot outside? Try it with a tank or tee over some denim shorts!  We love wearing plaid in the summer when done right, and this piece definitely does it well.  It can also be worn WELL into the fall!

Pair these with a vintage tee and flats for a casual look, or a collared button down and platform booties for a summer night out! The perfect day-to-night piece for this season!

Item of the Week: Vintage Purple Blouse with Button Down Back

This week's item of the week is a gorgeous vintage silk blouse in the prettiest perriwinkle color.  Perfect for dressing up, the stripe detailing in the silk exudes elegance. What we love the most about it is how it buttons down the back instead of the front!  It's small details like these that really make a piece stand out!  Pair with a mini and tights for a dressier look, or pair with black skinnies for a casual yet classy appeal.

Don't Stress for the Distressed!

It can be so hard to find the perfect distressed leather pieces! Whether in search of a leather messenger bag, jacket, or belt, I know from experience that finding a solid piece for an affordable price can turn into mission impossible! It was during this past Christmas season we were thrifting (hard core) and found this jacket! It was not only exactly what I had been searching for, it fit me perfectly! For just 25 dollars, this purchase was proof that patience and persistance is crucial in life, especially for thrifting! -D
