Ehrhart Vintage is named after my late great-grandfather, Joseph Ehrhart Stiles, who served in the U.S. Air Force for 32 years. I cherish the memories of visiting him—exploring his home that felt like stepping back into the ’70s and half-listening to the stories he told while we walked through the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Museum. I also credit my grandparents, who raised me. I used to pretend to hate or be embarrassed by the Beatles, Queen, The Who, Cream, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix playing on repeat in their cars, or by the movies from their childhood that we watched together.

Ehrhart Vintage was started by me, Lily, with the help of my husband, Ryan. It’s for anyone and everyone who wants to dress like the generations before us, or who simply appreciates a sense of nostalgia. We hope to continue contributing to the conversation around shopping second-hand and being more thoughtful about the quality and longevity of the goods we buy. The items in our shop are “built to last and found with love.”

Thank you for shopping small,

Lily and Ryan💛
