I’m Jess, the passionate curator and founder behind Southside Collector. My mission is to bring you a curated selection of vintage homewares, unique collectibles, and rare finds that add character and charm to your home.

Southside Collector was born from my lifelong passion for vintage treasures and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the past. What began as a personal love for collecting has evolved into a dedicated business where I can share my favorite finds with you. I’ve always been drawn to the stories behind vintage items — whether it’s the elegant lines of a mid-century chair or the intricate details of a classic vase. This fascination with the past, combined with my background in digital media, inspired me to create a space where you can discover and enjoy these special pieces.

I hold a Bachelor of Digital Media from the Queensland College of Art, where I explored various aspects of visual storytelling and design. This background has shaped my approach to curating and presenting vintage items, blending my design skills with my passion for collecting. My lifelong love for vintage homewares and antiques drives me to seek out unique pieces that capture history and aesthetics.

At Southside Collector, I specialize in; Curating Unique Finds from vintage furniture and decor to rare collectibles, we handpick each item for its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. Offering Quality Homewares: My collection features a range of high-quality vintage pieces that add a touch of elegance and charm to your home. Connecting with Sellers: I work closely with individuals looking to clear out estates or sell their vintage collections, offering fair evaluations and a smooth selling process. My Philosophy: I believe that every vintage item has a story to tell and deserves to be appreciated for its beauty and craftsmanship. My goal is to provide you with not just products, but pieces of history that can become a cherished part of your own story. Join Me on This Journey: Whether you’re looking to find that perfect piece for your home or you’re ready to part with some of your own vintage treasures, I invite you to connect with me.
