Oma Vintage owner gets love from Paper, Teen Vogue, world

Ada Egloff, proprietor of Oma Vintage, was totally ours first β€” Felicia D. wrote about her in Shopping Spree way back in February, when she had but a mere Etsy site, and then again when she opened up shop in Northern Liberties. And now the world's gone and fallen in love, too. Daily Candy, Teen Vogue and Paper all recently covered her enviable I'm-23-and-more-stylish-and-successful-than-you-are story, with the latter's article being a serious lovefest. As Sara Davis says about her:

Working in Egloff's favor are several factors: one, she has great style, in an enviable, native New Yorker kind of way. Two, she's qualified: a healthy interest in clothing at a young age was nurtured by New York's extensive vintage resources and fancy Conde-Nast internships.

And then it turns into a Philly lovefest:

Opening a store had always been in the back of her mind, she says, but she credits the city of Philadelphia for making it happen. "Everything is so much cheaper here, I just thought: Here's a great way that I can do this thing that I love, without a lot of money." In New York, she says, she can't imagining doing what she's doing until she's "at least 30."

To which we say: Right on, Ada. Just don't go leaving us for that city up north.
