About us

Black Dog Vintage is a vintage retailer dedicated to inspiring customers through a unique combination of products, creative styling tips, and love for fashion. We are located outside of Detroit, Michigan.

My name is Leslie and I love to curate vintage clothing. I have been wearing and modernizing vintage clothing and jewelry for almost 35 years! I am excited to share my passion with you.

I often get asked, why "Black Dog"? Well... I have been rescuing black dogs for the last 15 years.  It all started with a black dog named Bertuzzi, then came Scout, the Rocky, all of whom have passed away.  Now I have Angel... who many recognize from my YouTube videos.  She is a CHARACTER!  She is a rescued black pitbull from Detroit Dog Rescue.

Any extra profit from my sales goes to Detroit Dog Rescue.  And I volunteer two days a week there as well.  They are an incredible no-kill shelter in the heart of Detroit.  I am proud of the work I do with them, the dogs I have adopted and fostered with them, and the difference I can make in my community working with them.  Working with customers who love vintage, who support my small business, and who also have a love of animals allow me to do this.  Thank you for this!

So please message me with any special requests, questions, concerns or just to chat about vintage or dogs!!
