old stories. new soul.
born between the Blue Ridge and the Big Sky
Goldie's is a bespoke, thoughtfully curated collection of vintage and secondhand pieces rooted in the enduring spirit of the American West and the timeless soul of Appalachia. Every piece is chosen for its character, quality, and story.
The idea for Goldie's was born under the Big Sky in Bozeman, Montana. After relocating to Bozeman from Charlottesville in 2020, I found myself drawn to the back roads, mountain towns, wide expanses of prairie, and thrift shops scattered throughout the West. What began as weekend treasure hunts soon became an appreciation for the objects that outlast trends…well-worn denim, rustic boots and apparel, hand-tooled leather, heirloom rugs and textiles, midcentury modern (sometimes quirky) western furnishings and pottery built to be lived in and passed along.
Along the way, I missed my home in the Blue Ridge and realized Charlottesville and surrounding communities in this very special part of the Appalachian south share many of those same values and vibe. From Montana to Appalachia, the landscape is shaped by makers, wanderers, old souls, and communities that understand the beauty of things built to last. What has evolved through years of curated thrifting is now Goldies: an Americana daydream of vintage denim and midcentury pottery and textiles mixed with disco western and rustic Appalachian soul.
Can’t wait to have you join in on this adventure!

The Namesake
Goldie is the namesake. A rescue dog who traded uncertainty for open roads, mountain trails, and a life full of adventure.
Fastest girl in the West (and now the East!), Goldie became the inspiration behind this idea built on second chances, beautiful discoveries, and the belief that everything, from a well-loved jacket to a loyal companion, deserves another chapter. Her story starts in Wind River Wyoming, where she was thrown out of a moving car as a puppy and quickly scooped up and brought to the Animal Rescue Center in Jackson Hole. From there, she became part of a new family and brought up to Montana to explore ridgelines and run free through the Gallatin valley. A very sweet girl that loves adventuring and watching over her two frenchie sisters, Goldie’s story reminds us that we all deserve a second chance.
Second Chances
At its heart, Goldie's is built on the belief that the best things deserve another chapter. From vintage pieces with stories left to tell to rescue animals waiting for a family of their own, we're proud to support organizations dedicated to giving second chances where they matter most.
