Say hello to Kippy Ding Ding, Seattle's newest (and only) vintage fashion mobile. Owners Allison and Amanda noticed that the city had a need for a mobile fashion boutique and decided to retrofit a 1965 Aristocrat Mainliner and stock it with vintage apparel, accessories and housewares. "We have a rule when it comes to vintage clothing. You have to try it on and you have to add a belt," says Allison.
The stylish duo met by chance at a Queen Anne cafe and decided to go into business together. They stock a little bit of everything including handbags, belts, sunglasses, jewelry, vintage dresses, shoes and home decor.
Meet Kippy this weekend in the parking lot of the Interbay Whole Foods from 11am-4pm. You can also follow Kippy Ding Ding on Twitter @TheKippy to find out where she'll be next. Hooray! Or, as Kippy would say, "Yay Vintage!"

I love this idea. I'll have to go check them out this weekend. It seems that everyone in Seattle is going mobile – food trucks, hair salons, grocery stores. I was entertaining the idea of a mobile jewelry studio when I couldn't find a studio space.
It makes sense to me! Not having to pay rent in a specific location gives you so much flexibility! Let me know what you think after you check them out!
