Mighty Vintage is all about finding something different, so you can bet that the art in stock will bring something special to your room. Timea, the owner, focuses on finding things that are extraordinary and strange, quirky and playful. In her profile she shared, “Sometimes I take friends along for a hunt, and I find one of those weird pieces and hold it up with glee, and one of them just goes: ‘What the hell do you want with that?’ I just grin and as soon as they see it in the shop, they get it.” Her shop has a bevvy of fun pull-down art, from flower prints to shark charts.
