Are you looking for the perfect gift for a Disney Adult this holiday? Well, you're in the right place! Over the last few years, I've followed and even had the pleasure of working with some of the coolest small shops that specialize in Disney merch designed by and for self-described Disney Lovers! In this article I'll be sharing some of my favorites based off different categories like sustainability, uniqueness, vintage appeal, & more!

For my y2k girlies! I suggest you check out Rope Drop Threads & Second Chance. Both of these brands have unique designs inspired by early 2000s imagery like spray paint style tees and out of this world graphics. Rope Drop Threads is most known for their cherry mickey baby tee that took over instagram. While Second Chance came out with a Disney Princess tee that will make you say "Zeetus-Lapeetus!"
Second Chance gave us an exclusive look at their upcoming collection just for Disney pin traders! A huge part of Disney park culture, we can't wait till this drops! And don't worry Florida gang, they'll be dropping Orlando designs soon!
Next we have two Orlando-based brands, Orange State & Subtle Dust. These are definitely for the counter culture friends whether they're into alt fashion or passionate about the planet and sustainability. Orange State creates cool and dark designs surrounding multiple fandoms including Stranger Things, Marvel, Disney, and your favorite pop stars! They're designs are cool and very gender-neutral so anyone can enjoy them! Subtle Dust is honestly the first self-proclaimed sustainable Disney small shop i've ever stumbled upon. With whimsical designs all thoughtfully crafted on premium quality tees. They are committed to ethical practices including fair wages and a sustainably sourced production, even their mailers are eco-friendly and recyclable!

If you're looking to support a family affair, look no further. I've had the pleasure of working with Designs by Laura, a mother-daughter duo who are both named Laura. It's giving Lorelai from Gilmore Girls! These two create fun fandom merch, including Disney, Gilmore Girls, Labubus, etc! They started with handmade bows and expanded to totes, tees, and more!
Now let's head into Vintage & Vintage Inspired Brands (My personal favorite category!) First I'll start with the creator who is the originator of the vintage Disneyland font mickey ears, Katy from Main St. Muse. Katy has taken a break from full-time ear making, but she still does customs if you hit her up in the DMs. She also has a cute shop on Etsy with seasonal glass coffee cups, and fun Disney pillows!
Then on the other end of the spectrum, a newbie on the scene, starting her own small business is Anabel of Rad Mama Magic. She creates fun bag charms full of vintage Disney trinkets like McDonald's Madam Alexander Dolls and 90s plastic figurines of your favorite characters. They're all mixed with a bit of edge, featuring 8-balls, cherries, and more!
Kachow Vintage is known for their throwback Disney designs brought back to life for Disney lovers to enjoy! They are known for bringing back the big face mickey and friends totes, and plenty of retired designs to wear on oversized tees. All the 90s kids will love this brand!

Now have you heard of Mickey Mondays? If so, you've probably heard of Celestial Vintage. He's known for his LIVE auction events on Insta where he sells vintage Disney tees, along with highlighting fellow vintage collectors and resellers. Ryan is also the hubby of Anabel from Rad Mama Magic! They're both super friendly and fun, check out their pages for the dopest vintage finds!
In this category, I'm going to end with a bang. Some may know her as the queen of Disney fashion, Andrea! She posts Vintage Disney Style and sells on her website The Pixie Picks! She also does LIVE events on Insta. Get your Instagram reminders ready for when she has her next drop! Some of my favorite items from her curated collections are actually the jewelry pieces ... something super hard to find, but she's got a great eye for finding gems! The fashion girlies NEED TO FOLLOW HER IMMEDIATELY!

Curated for vintage lovers and disney lovers alike!
