MELY OLMEDA, lifetime thrifter and founder of Virgo Santa Cruz, started out as a part-time vintage clothing reseller in early 2017 with her brand Daddy Vintage.

After cultivating a community of other like-minded folks, she had bloomed a passion for sustainable and ethical clothing consumption, which eventually led her to resell full-time. In early 2022, Virgo Santa Cruz was born.

Mely’s goal for Virgo was not only to facilitate a place for small businesses to sell their curated clothing and handmade items, but also a place for creatives to collaborate.

Although Virgo SC on the physical plane is now closed, it is eternally etched into our hearts. We will continue to bring our unwavering mission to our online shop, as well as monthly pop-ups in a city near you.
