I returned this saturday and I am focused to know about the Vintage-Shop.
Is one of the most popular Vintage shop in all Vancouver.
As my first observation has been about the rush and the pressure in some commercial centre you breath, in this Vintage-shop the mood is different.
When I entered I felt as at home. Everything is well disposed and you can feel the love and the passion the owners have for the items.
They select due a strong research in all the words. Every day they have fix hours to be in touch with markets of all the countries and make research in old fashion.
I can feel the respect they have for every single jacket, paints, clouds. The owner told me that they know perfectly every single part of the items they sell and they feel as if those should be part of a big family.
When I get entrance I felt just relax, I should spent a lot of time before anyone of them asked me if I was looking for someone specific. But not because they didn0t care me but only because we were in that part of the mind to understand the object in a deep way. Not only looking but observing, touching the material, feeling the sensation and the smell they have, imaging who were wearing and why. I was so deeply in this mental-travel and also the girl at the desk has the same mood while she were selecting some different brands that suddenly when I pick up a very old pair of shoes we came up with the same word in the exact moment: Terrific!! We were more connected each other than every other could aspect in that single interaction. In fact we start to chat after that and we noticed have the same sensation in the mind. "Do you imagine wearing this with some very orange paints?"
I asked and she answered: "of course. I just do it every time".
After that she told me about the selection they made and what about the research in which I am particularly interest. I fact I am always fascinated in how come to find the items and which are they way the follow to be update with that.
A very laid back sensation but also rechargeable. When I exited from there I was full of good energy and smile. I felt just me, relax and enjoyed that moment without pressure. I just felt respected for my person as they do for all the articles they sell. "Everything has a soul here" she said,referring with the shop, and I get it.
Respect is the verb that I liked more and often in the rush-system of economy it become difficult to remember what is that.
Every thing has a soul. Soul that it is again related with the respect as in the window I saw the Italian soul reflected. In Italian when you look your self at the mirror you are respecting (reflecting) your-self. Again that mirror with the Italian soul bring our conclusion. The connection in what we need to feel respectable. We need our personal identity reflected in the mirror.
