A Good Mix

Riceandbeansvintage.com

You’ve gone to great lengths for an unbeatable fashion find. There was that near fistfight over at Marc Jacobs last spring, and you are so that girl who threw an elbow at the Filene’s Basement sale.

Occasionally though, Boston shops just don’t get all the right goods.

At least now we can peek through the closets of our northerly neighbors at Riceandbeansvintage.com. The online Maine stockist carries one-of-a-kind vintage pieces actually worth fighting for — like Christian Dior Oxford heels circa 1960, Pucci-print mesh tanks, black silk Chloé wrap dresses, and limited-edition Coach bags.

Owner Sarah Korsiak Cellier scours local church sales and auctions for classic pieces in near-mint condition, with original buttons and linings intact. The results are wardrobe staples unlike anything you might find around here.

And since all of the shopping is done through Cellier’s website, you won’t even have to leave your couch.

Or put up your dukes.
