THE STORY BEHIND TRINKETS & TROUBLE
Step into a world where the past comes alive, and every piece has a story to tell.
Established in November 2023 by Mike and Dave, two passionate antique enthusiasts, our antique and vintage shop is a reflection of our deep love for all things old and beautiful.
Bound by a mutual appreciation for the diverse, the antique, and the exceptionally unusual, we have set out on a mission to assemble a collection that defies eras and fads.
Picture our shop as a sophisticated space with a twist - a carefully curated area that's just as unconventional and artsy as it is rich in history. From Victorian oddities to mid-century marvels, each item in our assortment is selected for its individuality and allure.
We believe that every piece has a story, and we're here to assist you in finding the one that resonates with you.
