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 a stream of sought after, one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. After having success with her rotating collection of vintage pieces, Deirdre adapted of her styles into a collection of hand crafted, modern heirlooms. In addition to her unique vintage finds, Deirdre’s own designs have been featured in national magazines such asVanity Fair, InStyle and Southern Living. They continue to be a favorite among tastemakers everywhere. Calling Aiken, SC home after 15 years in Charleston, Deirdre’s design aesthetic is informed by the history and timeless elegance of the South.
