KALEIDOS

Processing a new batch of vintage. Here’s a sneak peek at a few favorites. 👀 Coming soon!

Throwback to this 2019 article about Kaleidos in written by

My vision for Kaleidos has always been a concept that extends beyond retail. My hope is for it to be felt and experienced rather than transactional. Kaleidos is a space of discovery, community, and inspiration. A space where you’re surrounded by beauty, good energy, and leave feeling more connected and empowered than when you walked in.

3 years ago I had the opportunity to open a brick-and mortar store. I was excited to see my vision grow and expand in that space, but in March 2020 the world shut down. And in April 2020 I gave birth to my daughter. For 3 years, I have put my business on the back burner while I focused on being a new mom during a very isolating time.

I’ve been slowly re-emerging Kaleidos and I have SO many ideas! Your support helps me bring these ideas to life. So THANK YOU for your follows, shares, purchases, and overall enthusiasm for Kaleidos!

My vision remains the same, but a few things have evolved.

1) I have a fresh new visual brand that embodies Kaleidos in a way that feels more fun and allows for it to evolve and be more expressive as it grows. A special thanks to .studio.studio for helping me with the rebrand.

2) My retail offering is now focused on curated vintage clothing. My hope is to eventually reintroduce new goods again - products like accessories, jewelry, lifestyle pieces that compliment my vintage selections. But for now, it’s vintage.

3) While I no longer have a brick-and-mortar store, I do still have my hidden gem of a studio space in Falls Church, VA where I plan on activating curated events and gatherings.

If you’ve been around since I first launched Kaleidos in 2015, wow! And thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you’re new here, welcome! I hope you stick around for the evolution and all the good things ahead. 💫

This is a personal post because it’s personal.

BLACK LIVES MATTER.

I believe in kindness. But kindness is not silence. Racism needs to be eradicated! There is a lot of work to be done here beyond posting on social media. I will continue to put in the work because my heart is grieving for my brown and black brothers and sisters. I’ve started the inner work and am having the conversations with my family, but I’m not here to list the things I’ve done to show you like some checklist. I’m here because our black community needs us! I’m here because innocent black lives are being murdered by the police force with no true accountability! We need justice! We need equality! We need to wake up!

I haven’t been posting much here lately because I am a new mother and have been taking time for that, but I’d like to make space to amplify black voices here. I will start with the ones I know, but would love your help in discovering more. Please comment below and tag black-owned businesses, artists, makers, designers, activists, and inspiring individuals that I can highlight throughout the week.

Sincerely with all the love,
Amanda
