Meet the designer making the most whimsical retro sets on IG:
Meaghan Syrjälä, Oklahoma City-based designer and owner of Saudade Vintage, grew up feeling nostalgic for a decade she'd never lived through. At 21 years old, she's the face and designer behind some of the most authentic bespoke coordinating sets made to look straight out of the '70s, and has curated a collection of some of the most desirable patchwork bell-bottoms vintage-hunters have laid eyes on.
The work you create is so colorful and whimsical, but also it feels really honest to the time period. It feels like it really is made with heart. A specific thing that sets you apart from a lot of designers who make bespoke, retro styles is your shoes. What inspired you to take that extra step when creating coordinating sets?
So, authentic, authentic, authentic; that's really what I'm about. But I love using the materials that were common to that era. Patchwork, heavy-to-medium weight materials. Quality materials. Saudade on Instagram: “Come on all of you big strong men Uncle Sam needs your help again he's got himself in a terrible jam way down yonder in Viet Nam so put…”I love early '70 bell-bottoms that have patchwork all over them. I have this one pair that has very naughty patches all over it, and it's so rebellious, and I love them. I post with them a lot.
