What is Hen and Chic Vintage?

The idea of Hen and Chic Vintage started in February of 2010, when Bryan invited Alexandra and friends over for drinks.  While Alexandra was drinking her classic 7 & 7, she looked around and wondered why there was a bar in the living room and mirrored beer signs on the wall.  Had she entered a bar and forgotten to pay a cover? No, she was in her new boyfriend’s abode.  What did she expect, he was after all, a bachelor with a bachelor sense of style, albeit an unrefined style.  If this relationship was going to progress, Alexandra needed to start nudging, gently, of course.

The seed was planted, and now it has started to blossom

So, it began in May 2010, Memorial Day weekend.  While everyone was enjoying fun in the sun, Bryan and Alexandra were trudging through their first project.  This first project was revitalizing an old 1970s china cabinet.  After much work and sweat, the end project was beautiful.  This got them thinking, “hey we can do this more often, it’s fun”.  The seed was planted, and now it started to blossom.

Passion for Antiques and everything Vintage

Alexandra has been a devoted vintage fanatic since walking through flea markets and antique shops with her mother at a young age. This is where Hen and Chic Vintage get it’s name. Her mother was the “hen” and Alexandra was the “chick”.  Alexandra has worked with antiques and vintages pieces most of her life and she continues to follow her passion by hunting and pecking for unique items for your home.

Antiques Appraiser to Avid Soap Maker

Alexandra’s skills set involves working in auction houses and an appraisal company, before branching out on her own. Along with loving all things vintage and antiques, Alexandra has also become somewhat of an avid soap maker. Soap making was always a hobby that interested Alexandra.  She started producing soaps for friends and family, but now brings these homemade goodies to Hen and Chic Vintage.  This hobby now has become a part of the business.
