Welcome to Aunty Jessi’s. Where vintage isn’t just what you wear—it’s how you show up.

I’m here for the maximalists, the memory-keepers, the folks who dress like they’ve got a soundtrack playing. At Aunty Jessi’s, every piece is handpicked with heart—because vintage isn’t about playing dress-up, it’s about reclaiming eras, rewriting narratives, and wearing your story with pride. I believe in the details, not much point wearing those original deadstock high waist flared jeans by Sedgefeild denim, unless you have the perfect 70’s shag hair cut to match right?? I gotchu boo……your cut and colour won’t just match your fashion sense, it will RE-WRITE it!

Accessories? Oh honey, they’re not optional. Era-specific sunnies, statement jewels, and a cheeky handbag are the secret sauce that turns “cute outfit” into “main character energy.” Whether you’re channeling 60s mod mischief or 70s rocker vibes, the right details don’t just complete the look—they transport you.

I stock inclusive sizing, ethically sourced treasures, and a whole rainbow of styles that celebrate every body, every identity, and every mood. Think of me as your vintage fairy godmother—flawless fabulous fashion, hair that turns heads, and a whole lotta love.

So dig in. Try things on. Make a mess. Aunty Jessi’s is your safe space to explore, express, and feel authentically YOU.

Shopping small isn’t just about buying a cute thing — it’s about backing the real humans who pour their guts, glitter, and late‑night caffeine into making something special. When you shop with Catch A Thief, it’s literally me, Aunty Jessi, on the other end, fussing over every detail like a woman possessed because I care. I care about the clothes, I care about the story, and I care about the person who’s going to open that parcel and feel seen.

Big corporations can pump out a million identical things without blinking. Small businesses? We’re the ones keeping the weird, the wonderful, the nostalgic, the inclusive, and the downright fabulous alive. We’re the ones making sure fashion still has heart and personality instead of feeling like it was designed by a spreadsheet.

Every order you place keeps creativity kicking, keeps community thriving, and keeps dreams — mine, and so many others — from getting swallowed by the beige machine. When you shop small, you’re not just buying a dress or a bag. You’re saying, “Yes, I want the world to have more soul. More colour. More people doing what they love.”

And honestly? That matters. It matters more than you know.
