About


Distinctive Vintage for the Art of Self-Expression 


Since 2018 Coeva Vintage has curated distinctive pieces for those who view personal style not just as clothing, but as art, identity, and self-expression. We're an online boutique offering a thoughtfully sourced and unique collection of vintage (1925 - 2005), antique (pre 1925), and select modern clothing. 


We offer pieces for individuals of all sizes, ages, genders, and walks of life as a sustainable alternative to fast fashion. Every item in our curated collection reflects a commitment to creativity, quality craftsmanship, interesting design, and celebrating individuality.

At Coeva Vintage, we believe every garment carries a story.

Over 30 years ago, our Founder Coeva stood in a clothing shop in rural Ireland surrounded by dusty racks of forgotten apparel. She wasn’t searching for anything specific, only for something that felt right.

While sifting through racks of mens and womens suits, she uncovered it:
a vibrant 1960s red tapestry coat with a sheepskin collar, untouched for three decades in her exact size.

It felt less like shopping and more like being found by something waiting patiently to be seen, chosen, loved, and given a new life to create memories in.

That moment sparked a lifelong devotion to vintage fashion, textiles, and the magic of discovering a piece that feels like it was created just for you.  We curate each collection with that same spirit, by helping you find magical pieces that belong to your wardrobe and story.

Unceded means that this land was never surrendered, relinquished or handed over in any way. We are grateful for the Traditional Knowledge Keepers, Elders, and Indigenous communities who have cared for these lands since time immemorial. We share this acknowledgment as an act of ongoing learning, reflection, gratitude, and reconciliation to those whose unceded land we reside and work on.
