About candy shop vintage

Founded in 2009 by designer Deirdre Colligan, Candy Shop Vintage started with a collection of whimsical vintage jewelry sourced from estate sales and flea markets and sold at private events and trunk shows. Deirdre’s background in fashion and design enabled her to curate an endlessly appealing stream of sought after, one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. After having success with her rotating collection of vintage jewelry and faced with the challenges of constant sourcing and replenishment, Deirdre adapted of her favorite vintage jewelry styles into a collection of hand crafted, modern costume jewelry and vintage inspired accessories. In addition to her unique vintage finds, Deirdre’s own designs have been featured in national magazines such as Vanity Fair, InStyle and Southern Living and continue to be a favorite among tastemakers everywhere. Now calling Aiken, SC home after 15 years in Charleston, Deirdre’s design aesthetic is informed by the history and whimsy of the South as well as vintage styles reimagined as modern classics. Her collections spread joy to an ever growing customer base seeking to add unique pieces to their wardrobe with an emphasis on timeless and unique style. 

Hand Crafted Jewelry

Working with US based jewelry manufacturers dedicated to quality and craftsmanship,we have been able to replicate much of the high caliber charm of the vintage pieces Deirdre collects and sells with her own Candy Shop Collection and her popular line of Charleston Rice Beads. Starting with jewelry and more recently moving into apparel and accessories, Deirdre’s relentless attention to detail and charm continues to be infused throughout all of our products. From collaborations with century old jewelry brand Ciner, to working with eco-friendly manufacturing facilities up and down the east coast, we strive to make everything offered at Candy Shop Vintage on par with the vintage heirlooms we all love.
