What
More Videos From Sunset
Stepping into the shop, you’re immersed in pink and orange. Soft shag rugs are underfoot and your eyes will feast on shimmering gold Culver tumblers. The walls are adorned with rare California Modernist crewelwork. From a 1960s Norman Cherner pretzel side armchair to an eight-foot orange velvet sofa, forward-thinking vintage glamour surrounds you.
When
Patina has been outfitting the most fashionable denizens of Las Vegas and their homes since 2010.
Where
1300 South Main Street, Suite 410, in Las Vegas’ Main Street Arts District.
Why
Patina may be vintage, but it’s anything but old-fashioned when it comes to style. The pieces feel current, and focus on timeless construction and vibrant aesthetics.
“We’re not kitsch, we’re not atomic—that’s not our thing at all,” Aldrich says. “We’re very glamorous, and with glamour, there’s a return to entertaining and bar set-ups. People want authentic, beautiful barware again. To find barware that has not been destroyed by dishwashers has been very hard, but we’ve been able to find Culver and Dorothy Thorpe pieces in pristine condition.”
Where They Shop
Shaffer loves T.L. Gurley antiques in Pasadena. “Tim’s a character who has fantastic taste, very unique inventory, and most of it with a story,” Shaffer says. “He collects lots of furniture, lighting, beautifully hand picked pieces.”
Aldrich loves Desert Vintage in Tucson. “It’s hand-picked, curated, very much in line with our aesthetic. Era-wise it’s kind of all over, some things older, Sixties, Seventies.”
