January Shop Update

 After a fabulous and eventful holiday season things have finally settled down here at Xtabay. 

Last Monday I spent the afternoon taking down the holiday greens, sweeping up pine needles and packing away Christmas ornaments. With everything taken down the store looks sparse but fresh. I get excited and inspired by the potential of all the empty space. So what do I do? I fill it.

January is when bridal season really starts to pick up. Brides have been calling our upstairs sister store The English Dept. and booking appointments like crazy. I've been busy trying to procure vintage dresses that would go well in a wedding party. Which is what I have put together above.Warning: these dresses are going fast, so be sure to visit the shop and follow us on Instagram where I post shop updates and new arrivals daily.

We have updated our shop hours, and are now open from 11-5pm Thursday-Sunday. We are closed Monday through Wednesday to focus on our online sales and out of town customers. We hope to see you soon and Happy New Year!

Xtabay Closed For A Glamour Makeover....

It's been about eight years since Xtabay last closed her doors for a little rest and refresh. She's really been starting to show her age lately and is in desperate need of a major overall.   So we decided to take the rest of this sleepy, slow, snow covered January off to let her get a little work done. Fresh paint, new carpet, a little purging, and a lot of polishing. In other words,  Xtabay is about to get a glamour makeover. 

In the meantime I will be adding new items to our Etsy shop daily so you can still get your Xtabay fix while she's under the knife. 

I also highly recommend following Xtabay on Instagram at xtabayvintage to keep up with all our new arrivals and shop updates. 

Thanks so much for visiting and we look forward to seeing you in February!
