About Saudade
sau·da·de

With a refurbished $90 sewing machine sewing on the floor- the first halter top was created that started it all.
Saudade Vintage was created from a deep love, respect, and obsession from all things 60's and 70's. From the precipice of trauma, came a gift of imminence creativity that started this journey. Much of our inspiration comes from the magical vintage pieces left to us from times past, music artists from the 60's and 70's era, and the beautiful nature all around us.
The most important thing to us at Saudade is sustainability, ethical management and practices, and most importantly details and authenticity. Nylon Magazine quoted us "the most authentic" 60's and 70's brand, and we take that seriously! We use many of the same fabrics, finishings, and methods that were used in the 70's that we believe TRULY makes a difference in the authenticity, quality, and makes us stand out! No one will be able to tell your Saudade threads aren't vintage!
