Mint History 101: High Society Vintage Adventures in Miami
My wild adventures in sourcing and selling Vintage throughout the years have led to encounters with some of the world's most iconic, creative people. Prior to starting Mint, I used to work for an infamous vintage store in Miami (we shall not name names, but if you can guess, kudos to you!). The store was sprawling and mysterious, like a dense jungle, only instead of animals and plants, this feral shopping haven had 10,000 square feet of the world's finest vintage and designer pieces. Working there was like nothing I'd ever experienced in retail before. Everyday brought something new and exciting, be it a person or a one of a vintage piece you would only find there. And this day on  Dec 5, 2009 as no exception.

Mint Girl Feature - Vicky Mosinho
It goes without saying that we are pretty darn picky around here. About literally everything. But especially about the faces on our site. These girls embody what it means to be a Mint Girl. The last 8 years we have cultivated a following of women of all ages that we consider to be Mint Girls. A microcosm of bad ass women and unicorns with extraordinary style.Â
The Little Store That Could
The main real difference between big business and small business, of any kind, is Soul. The ethereal essence of our human spirit. Small businesses, in particular brick and mortars, are corporeal manifestations of an individual's soul. In other words, we are literally putting our hearts out on the street for you to walk in and walk all over. And we love it.Â
