At an early age, growing up in Ventura, near California citrus orchards, Paul nurtured his collecting passion of colorful and then plentiful crate labels. In the early 1980s he began buying, selling and trading labels.

Paul and Mika opened their first antique mall space 16 years ago, and started selling nicely packaged vintage labels at Antique Society in Sebastopol, California. Since then, many store locations between Seattle and Monterey were added, offering a wide variety of vintage, original labels for collectors, home decorators and designers.

Paul enjoys collecting roadside Americana, paper items, vintage milk cartons, toasters, root beer mugs, etc. Mika collects old glass buttons. Together they search for vintage restaurant ware for their diner display.


Paul and Mika are photo-shy, but are proud to show off their able helper, Cody, our shipping assistant.
