All About Left and Found
Mid Century for Modest Budgets
The future of retail is changing. The current pandemic, climate change, the economic downturn, the collective events in activism: they are all changing how we operate in the world. Our very new venture is a product of these shifts.
At Left and Found, we value relationships and building community. We cannot make change alone; we must do this in partnership. We build our business together, with others, not in competition with them. This is why we currently share a space with three other permanent vendors, displaying several other local small businesses and hosting rotating guests. We know that each of us has a unique voice, we send each other customers, and trust the web of supports our relationships form.
It is important to us that everyone who walks through our doors finds furniture and home décor that is more than just a physical item. The pieces we carry are about evoking memory, nostalgia, comfort and whimsy. There is a sense of connection, of joy, that we feel when we obtain an item, when we give it a bit of love, and when we find the right person to take it home.
We are spending more time at home now than ever, and curating the scenery of our homes to bring a sense of ease is a powerful way to make this a time for reflection, rest and rejuvenation. We are aware that these times can be trying for folx mentally, spiritually, emotionally and our vision is that we can encourage people to be mindful about where they spend time, with who, and in what state.

Our mid-century and vintage store houses forever furniture, not disposable furniture, and can be held onto for generations to come. There is a lineage of owners embedded each item. We carry our memories and experiences into the future and they are never lost.
We firmly believe that there are immense benefits to buying vintage and buying local. Buying pre-loved is an action anyone can take to commit to reducing waste, to reducing the effects of mass production on the environment. We carry furniture and home décor that is resilient, that will stand the test of time.
There is also a financial benefit to buying retro: we price our items at a large range so that anyone can afford to bring something of resonance into their home.
