Meet Bruce And Chevonne Frank | Vintage Fashion Resellers

We had the good fortune of connecting with Bruce And Chevonne Frank and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bruce and Chevonne, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
Bruce and I grew up in Southern California. We met in college in 1985 in Los Angeles. We both come from a background of fashion merchandising and retail. Bruce‘s grandmother worked in the garment district in Los Angeles in the 50s and 60s Chevonne’s mother was a fashion designer, a seamstress and worked in retail as a buyer for a major Southern California department store in the 70s in the 80s
Chevonne grew up going to and being a part of many fashion show shows fashion has always been an important part of who we are
Chevonne’s father was into fashion as much as her mother. Her mother made all of their clothes during the 60s 70s and 80s and they were both one of the most fashionable couples around
Bruce’s grandparents migrated to LA from Louisiana in the 40s and as a young AA couple your appearance and style were an important part of who you were and how you showed yourself to the world

What should our readers know about your business?

Los Angeles has so many amazing places to eat that I couldn’t begin to name all of the spots that we go to. We usually drive around and look for a place that looks pleasing aesthetic wise and the vibe feels great and we just pop in and randomly check out some of the best food in Los Angeles from Thai to Mexican to Americano to French to Italian And all other ethnicities Los Angeles you will find anything and everything that you want to eat

we love all the nature that exist in the Los Angeles areas. We are big-time hikers so we love to hike all the canyons we love going to the beach where it’s actually getting in the ocean or just walking on the boardwalk or just taking a ride up the coast on the one Griffith Park is one of our favorite places to go to see the entire city. We also love the Getty and it’s vantage point.
