Signing the lease, Tomarra Sankara-Kilombo says, was a leap of faith. The new store for Sankara-Kilombo’s shop, Black Soul Vintage, slated to open in May, will be in Germantown, her neighborhood.
Signing the lease, Tomarra Sankara-Kilombo says, was a leap of faith. The new store for Sankara-Kilombo’s shop,Black Soul Vintage has operated as online-only for three years, selling vintage clothing, home goods, art, ephemera and loads of books. Many of her finds are rare. For example, a little more than a week ago, she added a number of vintage issues of Sports Illustrated, including a 1983 edition with Dr. J on the cover from the Sixers’ NBA championship-winning season.
“Eventually it turned into ‘You can sell this stuff,’” she explained, now 31 years old with hundreds of vintage items in her home. Many have come from donations, sometimes even from strangers. What she finds and what comes her way for her is “spirit work.” I originally wanted to work in the fashion industry. So clothing was always going to be something that was a part of what I was doing. So then the home goods kind of rolled into that. Black Soul is really a lifestyle.
So I have boxed everything up a few months ago, and in the past few weeks since we’re getting ready for the store, I’ve been literally just pulling out each box and going through what I put in there. So thatin particular, I really can’t recall where it came from. It didn’t have a price on it. So I’m assuming that it probably came from a donation, and not something that I bought myself.
