The duo are no strangers to Old Towne’s vintage scene, having sold at Antique Depot and Orange Circle Antique Mall since their teen years. - - - - Sweet Peach Vintage Less than a year since Nonahme Vintage opened in the Plaza, the owners have extended to open Sweet Peach Vintage, their partner store that exclusively sells women’s clothing. The shop, which opened in June where Renée Jewelers previously operated, is run by young couple Piero Graham and Sophia Ramirez. “Although Nonahme is focused on men’s clothing, we kept having shoppers want more women’s clothing, and we couldn’t keep up with the demand with just one rack, so we decided to open up a store dedicated to just women’s clothing,” says Graham. Sweet Peach Vintage mainly offers Y2K clothing, featuring styles that were popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. “Everything that was popular in the 2000s is becoming trendy for this new generation, so that’s our bread and butter of what we sell,” says Ramirez. “We have a lot of low-rise jeans, Juicy Couture, Coach and True Religion.” The interior reflects this aesthetic, and Ramirez says she carefully curated a very feminine atmosphere with vintage Victoria’s Secret mannequins and Betty Boop posters. “I’m excited for the Chapman students to get to know us and start shopping here,” she says. She hopes to make the space a welcoming destination where students can find unique pieces that express their personal style. Ramirez and Graham source many pieces they sell in the store, but they also introduced seven permanent vendors who sell their thrifted items at Sweet Peach, like Lunaria Archives and Shop Girl World. “We also have one rotating seller each month because we wanted to create more opportunities for local vendors, especially younger vendors, to have a chance to sell here,” says Ramirez. “It’s hard to get into a lot of the antique stores in Orange these days, so this is a nice opportunity for local sellers and to keep things fresh for the customers.\" Just a few months after opening, they already have goals of hosting community events, particularly those geared toward college students. Ramirez envisions opening up the space for kitschy crafting classes or shop-and-sip nights, and because Graham’s parents own local L’Orange Cafe, the duo hopes to collaborate on coffee-themed events. “There are a lot of Chapman students who move here from all over the country, and I want to be a community space for them,” says Ramirez. “We want to cater to them and build these relationships within our community for them and for us.” Ramirez and Graham have been selling vintage items in Old Towne since they were 17 years old, and hope to continue building on the relationships and businesses they’ve established here. “We love spending time here and growing the two businesses,” says Graham. “The neighbors and the whole community have always been so nice and welcoming. Everyone’s rooting for us.” Sweet Peach Vintage138 North Glassell St., Old Towne Orange, CA 92866"
