Dumpster Mermaid is your source for vintage treasure.
I chase down the misfits, the worn-in beauties, the things too good to wilt behind closed doors.

Pieces with past lives, lingering heat and unfinished business. Each item is curated, restored and detailed with care. Ready to offer back to you, tastemaker.

If you are seeking unique pieces for your home or body, you have come to the right place.
