The Vintage Fox is a curated vintage, antiques, gifts, décor, vintage clothing and collectibles shop located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, in a historic, blue Victorian house on Chapala Street.
Ashley Fox is the shopkeeper of The Vintage Fox and runs the business with her family, including her husband, daughters, and mother. She proudly opened the shop to share her love of vintage and decorating with the Santa Barbara community.
Fox originally began selling used home furnishings and antiques from her house in Santa Barbara in 2012. Her dream of owning a store eventually became a reality when she discovered a retail space opening up exactly a mile from her house. Fox opened Fox & Goss on upper De La Vina Street in Santa Barbara with her friend and business partner in 2014 and then solely took on ownership of the business in 2017.
Fox was so excited when a historic Victorian at 609 Chapala Street in Santa Barbara became available as she felt the building was meant to be for her business (at one time the house was part of the renowned Brinkerhoff antique community prior to functioning as a luggage repair store for many years). In the summer of 2021, she proudly moved The Vintage Fox to 609 Chapala St.
The Vintage Fox sells a wide selection of antiques, vintage treasures, home décor, and gift items, most of which have been hand-selected by Fox herself. Fox also works with local consigners who bring in specialty pieces and collectibles. Fox prides herself on helping people beautify their homes by upcycling vintage pieces that bring history and character to any space and support sustainability efforts. She also enjoys working with her customers to curate their spaces by sourcing pieces that fit their unique style.
The business has expanded over the years to hosting estate sales and working with realtors to empty and stage homes throughout Santa Barbara County.
