Right before you head up the main stairs at the north entrance of Wallingford Center, you might notice a new little shop beckoning you to come in.
Indie Frock opened about three months ago in Wallingford, but has been alive and well in the imagination of owner Debbie Wirfs for much longer.
Wirfs started out with a knack for discovering great vintage finds and selling them on eBay. It was initially just a hobby, but that hobby turned into a major passion and now scouring finds at estate sales, auctions, and small town thrift stores is her full time job! Before opening her own shop, she got her sea legs while working her own booth at the Fremont Sunday Market, pop-up stores, Atlas Clothing and even the Georgetown Trailer Park Mall, of which Wirfs said “everyone should go check out.”
Indie Frock has a beautifully eclectic vibe. You’ll find vintage and contemporary americana inspired styles that include brands ranging from classic Pendleton to Free People and Anthropology. You might just even find that once-in-a-lifetime mystery dress that will magically fit like it was made especially for you!
There are some really unique items at Indie Frock. Local artisan designer Feather and Skull makes hand-made one-of-a-kind boots and other handcrafted accessories. For jewelry, local artist Peaces by Lauren creates earrings and necklaces that have a timeless quality to them.
Whatever your pleasure, you can be sure that Wirfs has a refined eye for quality. When you stop in for a peek, you might just end up leaving with a very reasonably priced Brooks Brothers Makers silk tie for your husband like this reporter did!
Wirfs says she is thinking about having a Grand Opening Promotion, so follow on Instagram @indiefrock and through their Facebook Page to be the first to know!
