About Kitsch & Couture

Our Service Pledge

"Nakedness makes us democratic, adornment makes us individuals." - Liberace

We sell vintage art and collectibles for the home and we offer a wide variety of women's fashion and jewelry. You will also find a large selection of books, with emphasis on children's books, nonfiction, collecting and design.

Ideal feminine beauty has changed over the decades, just as our personal preferences change with age and experience. Therefore, we offer everything from opulence to folk art, at every price point, and in the better to best of condition considering age.

Customer satisfaction is our primary goal. We take pride in carefully packaging these timeless treasures to ensure a safe delivery to their new home. International shipping is only available with pre-approval of the item. If you are located outside of the US, please contact us via email for a shipping quote.

About Us

We have collected unique items from all over the world for over 30 years. Our items are purchased from art galleries, estates sales, flea markets, auctions, private collections and dusty attics. We have been selling on Ruby Lane for 12 years and we encourage you to visit our shop often since we add items on a regular basis. We take pride in hand-selecting items that are of excellent quality and preferably, in gift-giving condition.

We are closed on Saturdays and Sundays, therefore, purchases made on or after each Friday will be processed the following Monday for Tuesday shipment. During the weekdays, we typically ship within 24-48 hours from receipt of payment.

Layaway is available with a nonrefundable deposit of 1/3 the purchase price. The second payment of 1/3 the purchase price is due within 30 days of the initial purchase. The final payment is due within 90 days of the initial purchase date. (Please note, the initial deposit is nonrefundable ~ we are required to do this in order to cover our fees associated with shop maintenance and advertising).

And the shoes... had a Cinderella moment, you know when you slip it on and wonder whether it will fit? Perfect fit !!!! I'm absolutely delighted with these purchases. The shoes are a work of art, really almost a shame to wear them, but wear them I will :o) Thank you very much, I'll be back." ~~Nicole

** "Just wanted to let you know that the bracelet arrived. It is very pretty. I appreciate your accuracy in describing measurements and condition. It is so reassuring to actually get what you are expecting rather than receiving something with all of these "little things" that the seller fails to mention and then disclaims that they are not experts in describing, etc. Anyway, enough ranting about the past. Thanks for your accuracy and honesty." ~~Emily
