Vintage Style with a Soul

The Stray Fox is a woman-owned vintage boutique based in the heart of Ballard, Seattle. Born from a love of storytelling through style, our shop is a curated collection of one-of-a-kind pieces — each with its own past, waiting to be part of yours.

We believe in the art of dressing up without following rules. In mixing decades, textures, and moods. In finding that one jacket that fits like a memory. That silk slip you didn’t know you needed. That oversized tee that suddenly becomes your favorite.

At The Stray Fox, we don't just sell clothes — we sell character. Every rack is curated with intention, offering quality vintage that’s timeless, wearable, and full of personality.

Meet the Fox behind the Brand

Hi, I'm Lindsey Allison, the founder and fox at the helm of this shop.
What started as a side hustle — hunting for vintage treasures and styling friends — quickly grew into a community of fellow fashion lovers, artists, and creatives.

Opening a storefront in Ballard was a dream come true. It’s now a space where stories, style, and slow fashion come together — and where anyone can walk in and feel seen.

Our Philosophy

Quality over Quantity

When I die, put this on my tombstone.
Invest your money on quality pieces and they will last a lifetime. As a bonus, you’re giving the fast fashion industry the middle finger and who doesn't love that?

Every Day is a Special Occasion

So you might as well dress like it! We say stop hoarding your favorite pieces for that dream day. Pull them out for a trip to the grocery store or happy hour with your girls. When you think about it everyday you’re breathing IS a special occasion… so wear the jewelry and pull out the shoes.

Trust your Gut

If it doesn’t feel cute, it’s not gonna look cute.
Forget the trends. Style is energy, and when you feel good in what you're wearing, that confidence will stop traffic. Choose what makes you feel powerful, playful, and real. That’s timeless.
