Purveyors of Pastiche. Vintage threads with a cinematic edge.
Excellent condition, pure wool authentic Pendleton skirt exudes classic autumnal, academic style. Beautifully lined with smooth navy lining for comfort, this classic wardrobe staple is made practical with ample pocket space and a chic below the knee cut that looks good with or without stockings and with a variety of shoe styles from oxfords (as pictured) or flats to chunky boots or trainers. Double button closure. Works well as part of a school uniform or as a costume piece! Big twin peaks vibes here for sure.
Asta is the fictional pup of The Thin Man, a 1934 detective novel written by hard-boiled genius Dashiell Hammet, adapted as a film by the same name in the same year starring William Powel and Myrna Loy as Nick & Nora, Asta’s wise-cracking, case-cracking owners.
Bad Asta, on the other hand is the brain-child of Kate Dawson and Nicole Horowitz, two vintage thrifters with a shared love for film. Our Vintage Brand is founded on principles of aesthetics and sustainability, with a little dose of old-timey fun along the way.
Kate and Nicole
Purveyors of Pastiche
Nicole Horowitz & Kate Dawson are the “purveyors of pastiche” behind Bad Asta Vintage. Hailing from LA and Philly, respectively, the two met at Oregon State University while pursuing MA degrees, and quickly bonded over a mutual love of classic film. Their bi-coastal journey into the marriage of film and fashion is Bad Asta's raison d'être. We hope you'll come along for the ride.
