About the Curator

Revolving Vintage Closet is a privately owned collection dedicated to historic clothing, textiles, and decorative arts. Founded by Kathy Duerkop, the archive reflects more than a decade of professional vintage sourcing and a lifelong appreciation for the craftsmanship, design, and stories found in vintage objects.

Over the years, Kathy has developed an eye for identifying exceptional pieces across a wide range of eras, from Edwardian garments and mid-century fashion to decorative textiles and collectible objects. Each item is selected for its quality, character, historical interest or visual impact.

The collection is continually evolving as pieces are discovered, researched, documented and shared. While many objects remain part of the archive, select pieces are made available to collectors, designers, historians and those who simply appreciate beautiful things from the past.

Based in Wisconsin, Revolving Vintage Closet serves as both a curated collection and a destination for thoughtfully sourced vintage fashion, textiles and decorative arts.
