Recently, at the Silverlake Farmer's Market, we spied "The Tin Box of Curious Artifacts. " Food trucks are all the rage in L.A., and now we have travelling boutiques as well!
Tin Box of Curious Artifacts was founded by Chris Register and Daniel Robles. With the help of handyman, ironworker, and artist friends, they converted a 14 foot box truck (once used for hauling vintage cars) into a quirky rolling shop. Tin Box sells a mix of men's and women's vintage clothing and accessories, along with kitschy home goods, screenprinted t-shirts, and other weird and wonderful oddities. Like the truck itself, almost everything in the shop is vintage or upcycled,
The truck is also the exclusive retailer of the Oblio line of women's fashions. Oblio is owner Daniel's own line of one of a kind, hand made, 60s inspired dresses, skirts, blouses, and bags all made from vintage fabrics.
You can find the Tin Box at the Atwater Farmers Market, on Sunset Blvd. in Echo Park, at the Downtown LA and Highland Park Art Walks, the Silverlake Farmers Market and/ or wherever else people to go to have a good time in Los Angeles' Eastside.
I love this truck. Everything they sell is so cute and surprisingly reasonably priced. You can tell they select everything with love.
