Kristin Tubb
Chicago native Kristin Tubb, 24, brought the joys of vintage shopping to Jackson last year with her boutique, the Orange Peel. And, lucky for us, she didn’t just bring them for the wealthy or waif-like. “Some stores cater to size zeroes, some stores cater to one style, but I’m trying to get everybody,” Kristin says. She wants people to come in and find things they can mix and match with their own wardrobes to complement their own personal styles, not just to come in and spend tons of money on a single outfit.
Kristin’s own style has a range of different looks that she says are reflected in the sweeping variety of clothes the Orange Peel carries, all priced to please the college students she had in mind when she opened the store. With a recent expansion of its menswear department and the addition of a furniture section, there’s now even more to adore about both this chick we love and her store.
Orange Peel has quickly grown into a sensation in Fondren and in Jackson, with many finding the joys of funky vintage shopping for the first time. We love Kristin the most because of her vision. But those $5 purses don’t hurt a bit.
