NICHE: A WEEKLY PEEK AT AN EMERGING ARTIST

July 1, 2007. NICHE: A WEEKLY PEEK AT AN EMERGING ARTIST: "Smith estimated she’s used more than 4,000 plastic bags creating her signature hand bags. 'I don’t even use plastic bags,' she said. 'I use canvas. If I get plastic, I feel like I have to hide my face.'

Originally a knitter, Smith was inspired to start creating her signature purses after seeing a pattern for a large handbag woven out of plastic bags. She modified the design, which she thought was unstable, to make smaller handbags.

Her purses run $35 and can be found at the Columbia Art League, the Spare Parts Gallery and Maude Vintage."

She has made costumes of a hermit crab and a cuttlefish for a friend’s band that sings love songs from the point of view of animals. Foster created an elephant-bunny pi�ata for the premiere. Maude Vintage carries a line of her purses and bags."

April 23, 2007. lacquer: The Joys of Midwestern Shopping, pt. 2: "Our favorite local joint: Maude Vintage. (The owner, Sabrina, has a good eye for pieces from all over the style and date spectrum, as well as cheap, new accessories.) Maude has spectacular costume rentals, but, better than that, they realize that, by and large, 'vintage' is really 'old clothes,' and they price accordingly."

Vox Magazine - The dirt on trash art

2007-01-11T16:59:00.000-08:00

January 11, 2007. Vox Magazine - The dirt on trash art: "“Paper or plastic?” For fantastic recycling, think plastic. Morgan Smith is earning bagging rights by weaving handbags out of colorful cut-up strands of plastic bags, finishing each with a vintage belt as a handle and decorative buttons and charms that she finds in garage sales and thrift stores for extra pizazz.

“Velcro is really the only thing I use that isn’t recycled,” says Smith. “Everything else has at least one previous life.”

Her purse line, “Trashy Clutch,” has been selling at Maude Vintage on Broadway, the Columbia Art League and craft shows for two years.

“Morgan has a really good visual and design sensibility,” says Channing Kennedy, an manager at Maude Vintage. “Her stuff always looks new, fresh and inviting.

Maude Vintage is full of creative crafts, with items such as purses made from tablecloths and wallets made of duct tape."

The Maneater - Mixed reviews on new Ciara album

2006-12-08T17:10:00.000-08:00

December 8, 2006. The Maneater - Mixed reviews on new Ciara album: "Location: 1:42 p.m., Wednesday, Maude Vintage

Track Played: “C.R.U.S.H.”

Observations: Since it was a slow business day, the store was sparsely populated with a few younger members of Columbia’s hipster-elite perusing the racks. When the track’s combination of futuristic and mildly Latin-inspired percussion and Ciara’s smooth R&B voiceover began to resonate, it was first met with scornful headshakes. But the catchy track began to grow on the subjects, leading to some head-bopping and side-to-side stepping. Fuller harmonies and a more mature vocal sound could lead one to argue that an “evolution” had taken place."

September 3, 2006. Columbia Missourian - Canopies’ removal sheds light on Broadway: "Evidence of the recent demolition still surrounds the store. Its canopy was removed in mid-July. The sidewalk shows signs of the demolished canopy pillars, and plywood boards currently cover the fa�ade with “Maude V” in plastic blue letters. But Braden said she appreciates the added visibility of the sign, which was put up on Aug. 17. Before that, she said there was nothing to identify her store.

“I think we’ll be able to increase our visibility,” Braden said. “They’re going to redo the fa�ade, and we’re going to get more windows.”"

“We always love to have something going on outside,” she said. “Whether it’s bands or an artist.”"

Mymissourian - New Fall Trends

2006-03-09T16:51:00.000-08:00

March 9, 2006. Mymissourian - New Fall Trends: "Maude Vintage

I sat down and talked with Sabrina Braden, owner of Maude Vintage in Columbia, about the type of business her store brings in. She said that “since the department stores are reproducing vintage style clothing, it calls for a demand in her stores,” so business is staying pretty steady around here.

I am a regular shopper at Maude, and let me just say, Sabrina has a knack for picking true vintage style clothing. If you have any questions, she can tell you what time period of just about any piece.

Maude carries a variety of dead stock t-shirts, which are shirts from the 70’s but have never been worn. Using a heat transfer machine that prints vintage graphics creates these shirts. This makes them very unique and stylish. Sabrina says you can always “couple it up.” Take something vintage and couple it with something fashionable, like trendy baubles with giant beads."

December 4, 2005. Columbia Missourian - Window dressing: "Over at Maude Vintage, Ron Ribiat painted son Kelly’s face as they prepared for their roles in “Santa Claus does Christmas with the Martians”, inspired by the 1964 movie “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.” Father and son came about their roles while shopping at the store earlier in the year. Kelly was doing the robot, Ribiat said, and a woman there thought his dancing would be a fun act for the window. Ribiat said the movie came to mind and it became the theme for the store’s holiday display."

November 2, 2005. The Maneater - It's a local thing - page 1: "Ogechi Anyanwu, a local designer, sells her line, Ogemon, at Maude. She has been designing for three to four years, though she says she has sewn for a long time. Her clothing does not have a definitive style, she says.

“It depends on my mood, what I’m feeling,” Anyanwu says. “Designs can be artsy to just very plain. I get my ideas from looking at fabric and looking at objects and the kind of shapes I see.”

Channing Kennedy, owner of Maude Vintage, describes the clothing line Ogemon as “pretty wearable. It isn’t something that you couldn’t feasibly wear on an everyday basis.”

“They don’t do very much with just reworked clothes,” Kennedy says. “They make things from patterns they make themselves. With local designers, there are some who take existing clothes and add on, and there are some who make clothing completely from scratch, and Ogemon is that.”"

Youth trend not business by the book

2004-06-14T16:29:00.000-07:00

June 14, 2004. Youth trend not business by the book: "Sabrina Braden became a business owner in her early 20s when she bought the used clothing store Crazy I’s from her boss.

Braden renamed the business Maude Vintage and embarked on a crash course in running a small business.

She admits that she did some growing up with the business.

'I definitely had to make some lifestyle changes,' said Braden, now 27. 'In the beginning, I was staying up late and going to parties. There would be days that I didn’t open the store, and I didn’t care. It’s a much more professional business now.'

Braden said she’s surprised more people her age don’t go into business, and she said she often encourages other young people to consider it.

'I tell people, ‘You can do this, and you don’t have to go to college,’ ' she said. 'You don’t have to wait years and years to follow your dreams.'"

April 8, 2004. Vox Magazine - Thirty under 30: "Maude squad

Who: Sabrina Braden, 26 and Channing Kennedy, 23

What they do: They co-own Maude Vintage, and Channing is the CEO of the Columbia record label Cat Jams Records.

Why we care: This engaged couple loves fashion and music and strongly advocates the arts in Columbia. In addition to selling vintage clothing and renting costumes, Maude Vintage provides an alternative to mainstream retail and an outlet for local designers to sell their clothing, which includes Sabrina’s clothing line, SARB. Channing’s Cat Jams Records is the home for several Columbia bands such as The Pows, The I Love You But I’m Not In Love With Yous, MC Cat Genius and Animal Family.

In the future: Sabrina and Channing are planning to purchase a house, and both want to further their art and business careers. Sabrina eventually wants to design for a larger line, and Channing hopes to release his own avant-garde comedy album in the next year and sponsor more bands through the record label.

The last word: “We’re trying to create an environment that encourages people to express themselves creatively without fear of failure,” Channing says."

"Best vintage store

Editors' pick: Maude Vintage Clothing and Costumes,

810 E. Broadway

Everything on the racks looks cool in some way, and the prices sure beat spending loads of dough on novelty vintage shirts. The store is also a great place to find local designers' clothes.

March 5, 2004. The Maneater - From the runway to Broadway: "'I think people come in with their own style in mind, and people are a bit influenced by media figures of culture and counterculture,' Kennedy said. 'But customers are ultimately smart enough to make up their own mind about fashion.'"

September 26, 2003. The Maneater - Something old, something new: "Most stores, like Maude Vintage and The Wardrobe, put out new clothes on an almost daily basis, making a weekly visit to the store a good idea for shoppers who are serious about finding great clothes. Remember that kindness pays off, too' a regular customer who is a favorite of the staff has a good shot at being pointed toward the best new arrivals or getting tips about upcoming sales."
