About Us



Founded in 2005, Calico offers a hand-picked collection of women's vintage clothing, accessories, and shoes, sourced locally and from around the world. Based in the historic waterfront district of New Bedford, Massachusetts, we provide personalized customer care, whether you're browsing our boutique or shopping online.

With a keen eye for current and up-and-coming trends, Calico's vintage range is constantly updated. New items arrive at the headquarters daily and hit the online shop each week.

Alongside its carefully-curated vintage selection, Calico also carries a growing selection of complimentary designer lines and contemporary brands to keep your wardrobe on trend.

Calico's owner and founder, Elissa Paquette, first became obsessed with picking and collecting vintage clothing when she discovered her local Salvation Army Thrift Store at the age of fourteen. She began selling her finds on eBay, while attending Massachusetts College of Art, and opened Calico's original location above a nail salon in New Bedford soon after. Elissa is still Calico's head stylist, catalog photographer, buyer, and customer service guru. You can reach her at elissa@shopcalico.com or call the shop at 508.999.4147.
