ABOUT THE MISSION
Hi, I’m Sarah Houghteling, the heart and hands behind Vintage79 Boutique. Born from a passion for timeless style and conscious living, my boutique is a curated space where sustainable fashion meets artisan craftsmanship.
Located in the heart of Alamogordo inside blush Beauty Bar. At Vintage79, every piece tells a story — whether it’s a hand-stitched garment, a locally made accessory, or a vintage find given new life. I’m dedicated to supporting local makers and fostering a community that values quality, creativity, and mindful consumption.
My mission is simple: to offer beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces that empower you to express yourself while making choices that are kind to the planet and our local artisans.
Thank you for being part of this journey and choosing fashion with purpose.
