My mom, my little brother and his then fiancé all went on a road trip from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles to move him into his new spot (yea, I dodged a bullet on that one.) They made a pitstop in New Mexico and I BEGGED them to stop by some shops to copalop me some authentic Native American-made jewelry but they were too busy “sightseeing” and “exploring,” whatever the fuck that all means. Luckily, Independence has me covered with their selection of exquisite vintage jewelry, ranging from rings and bangles with turquoise stones, to a coyote teeth-clad necklace. I always knew the day would come that a menswear shop would become my new family, I just didn’t think it would come this soon.
