Today we’d like to introduce you to Tya Tiempetch.
Tya, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
The Rabbit Hole is a vintage clothing online store with a brick + mortar location in Miami. Founded in the Fall of 2009 as an after-work hideout / creative sandbox, the little vintage store was awarded Miami’s Best Secondhand Shop by Newtimes just after its first anniversary. 15 months in, we expanded and built a full time e-commerce + mini photo studio, merging vintage clothing with modern photography into a perfect work/play space catering to worldwide as well as local clients.
In October 2015, we moved out of our original location and opened at a brand new retail store front downtown North Miami in November 2015.
Has it been a smooth road?
It has been a smooth enough road, can’t complain! Coming in to this with just pure love for the cool old things and zero experience in either business or sales, there were a lot of “business-y” things to learn.
Everyday, I am still learning. That’s the cool part about owning a business. There are opportunities to challenge yourself and learn new skills at every turn. It’s been really fun.
Most struggles I have had are related to time management. I am usually either completely immersed in a project that I forget everything (including food and water), or super excited about new ideas and ready to drop everything and run off with them. The balance is hard to come by, but I am always working towards it.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
The Rabbit Hole is a vintage clothing boutique, specializing in clothing from the 60’s to 80’s eras. We are located downtown North Miami and have an online store at ShopRabbitHole.com.
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
Despite the well-known skyrocketing rent price, Miami still has pockets of neighborhoods that are great for young businesses. People will go off the beaten path to find and support establishments they resonate with. Because of this, we were able to test the waters and start in a more hidden location with affordable rent.
