Introducing our curated bi-monthly drop of vintage-inspired pieces and unique LA style finds, sourced globally. We link up with the city’s insiders and muses who show us around as we tell the story of the city through their eyes.
The first leg: Los Angeles. Led by Los Angeles fashion thrifting expert MacKenzie Crawford, owner of Babes on Legs, a vintage hub offering one-of-a-kind pieces mixed with essential staples from eras bygone. She sees LA style clothing as an art-form and an expression of the self, and wants people to feel more at ease with what they have in their closets. “Life can be stressful and having a collection of quality pieces that make you feel happy, confident and are going to get you through the day is important.” Curated with love, MacKenzie’s brand incorporates functionality, comfort, timelessness and sustainability within it.
Follow us as MacKenzie takes us from flea market to city scouting where we discover influences for our first collection—a mix of relaxed fits, mesh fabrics, striking co-ords and screen prints inspired by laidback LA street style culture and the vibrant hues that embody the city. Browse through our collection of soft touch co-ords, fluid mini dresses and easy breezy resort wear. Hop in as we road trip around the world, exploring its hidden treasures.
