LET'S START BY HAVING YOUR INTRODUCE YOURSELF. WHO ARE THE FORCES BEHIND BLACK CHERRY VINTAGE?
LET'S START BY HAVING YOUR INTRODUCE YOURSELF. WHO ARE THE FORCES BEHIND BLACK CHERRY VINTAGE?
My name is Leea Lee and I'm the owner of Black Cherry Vintage. Who helps me run my little baby? Well I'm glad you asked! I have a wonderful employee, Rebecca Simmons, and an a edgy intern, Taylor Burns. They're pretty much the heart and soul of this shindig.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT BEING A SHOP OWNER IN FAYETTEVILLE?
I love that no matter where you look you see young ladies trying to stay on top of the newest fashion trends without changing who they are! I fell like Fayetteville has an open door policy with fashion and it's amazing to see so many passionate people who love and enjoy the same things.
WHEN AND WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO OPEN BLACK CHERRY VINTAGE?
The Cherry is one year old. It's been my dream to own my own little vintage store and to be able to do it has been an even bigger dream!
IF YOU HAD TO PICK ONE STYLE, TREND, OR ITEM, WHAT WOULD YOU CONSIDER TO BE YOUR SPECIALTY?
I'm in love with edge, almost editorial looks for photo shoots. I'm not sure if I have a specialty. I love just trying stuff outside the fashion box.
