The Factory by Way of Algiers

My friend Elizabeth Bofinger (who also sells amazing homemade mayonaise) called me and said a lady in Algiers had a vault of vintage clothing. We made a trek across the river and it truly was like stepping back in time. The daughter-in-law of a woman who saved everything was selling off two storage containers. It was all sixties era goods. She spun a pretty interesting yarn about her relative being Andy Warhols pot dealer in NYC. She had journals and memorabilia that she was trying to sell to some art dealers. The woman is still alive and is still so busy hoarding in California that she’s about to lose her apartment. I tried to not go crazy and buy too much but I did pick up a few really fun pieces…all in all I spent $45….so not bad!!
