About

Women-owned and operating since March 2011, Bad Madge & Co. at 2205 Fern St evolved from a production company into a sustainability-focused vintage boutique specializing in mid-century fashion and home goods. The inventory rotates through estate-sale and flea-market finds including furniture, barware, vinyl records, and garments from the 1950s and 1960s—a home-staging sensibility that complements the mid-century modern pieces at Collins & Coupe on El Cajon Blvd. Roughly ninety percent of the merchandise qualifies as vintage, and the shop sources used goods by appointment, keeping the reuse cycle continuous and diverting wearable items from landfill disposal. Vintage garment buyers who need fit adjustments can walk their purchases to Snips & Seams Alterations on 30th St for era-appropriate hemming and tapering. The store's most complex curation effort is the annual San Diego Vintage Crawl, a multi-day citywide event uniting more than twenty vintage and antique retailers under a single promotional campaign.
