A Hidden Vintage Gem

As part of Petit Ermitage's Shop Hollywood, I attended a cocktail party last Tuesday night for Sielian's Vintage Apparel. The rooftop of the Petit Ermitage was the perfect setting for sipping champagne and shopping vintage.

I've always admired the chic decor and gorgeous dresses that are on display in the store window of Sielian's Vintage Apparel. While chatting with the shop owner, Sielian Lie, she shared with me that collecting vintage apparel is something she has been doing for years and eventually, after acquiring too much, she decided to open a store. In order to get the best merchandise, she travels all over the US in search of vintage apparel and even has contacts in Europe that bring her special items. Every piece has been chosen with a discerning eye which makes her selections impeccable.

As one of the nicest high-end vintage boutiques in Los Angeles, the store carries designer labels such as Chanel, Halston, Givenchy, Alaia, Herve Leger, and YSL. It's no wonder celebrities and celebrity stylists shop Sielian's regularly, as well as the design teams from major clothing manufactures.

So, if you're in need of a unique vintage dress for a holiday or new years eve bash, definitely check out Sielian's Vintage Apparel.  Tucked away on the far west end of Melrose Ave., this store is truly a hidden gem. Who knows? You  might run into Scarlett Johansson or Rachel Zoe while browsing.
