✨Next up in the Vendor Highlights, Gabriela Heinze, with ✨⁠
⁠
"Keenofher is a brand that seeks to promote women of color in spaces where they may usually be unrepresented. As a women of color myself, having a unique sense of style and identity is important to me because I believe it is a map of where my spike has been. It is a joy, and I want to share that joy with everyone else!"⁠♥️
⁠
"My pieces are heavily influenced by 1800s America with both western and indigenous influences. Each item has a truth and when put together, they tell a story, the story of you! If you see me at the market, come say hello, you can’t miss me in my riding boots, long skirt, beaded earrings and my hat with a turkey feather in it!” 😉

We are looking forward to having Gabriela at our market, and can't wait for you to see all of her unique finds! 🙌🏼

✨MEET CO-FOUNDER, KATIE!✨

Katie, the owner of Auburn West, started her passion project at the beginning of 2021.

Auburn West is a curated, secondhand shop focusing on sustainably sourced items that are vintage or vintage inspired.

The business was created after a year that made everyone take a step back and re-evaluate their priorities and Katie was no exception to that! 2020 ended in tremendous loss and heartbreak, making her realize that she didn’t want to live another day not doing what she loved!

Katie always intended to be a business owner and wanted to incorporate her passion for promoting practices that encourage sustainability. After marrying these two concepts, Auburn West was born!

✨Come meet small business owners, like Katie, at our “End of Summer” market on August 21st from 11am to 4pm at The San Diego Ice Arena in Mira Mesa!✨
