This Corner started as a concept in early 2019 to bring both Nozomi and Lee's passions together in one space. After cutting hair in Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia for nearly 20 years, Nozomi wanted to create a space that combines high-end hair experience with an accessible price. Lee worked in retail when they met at a Guacamole-making competition in 2009. Our goal for simple design and high quality informs what we sell in our shop. Lucky for us, we found a corner location after already landing on the name This Corner. The name comes from the concept of having a favorite corner in your home that a candle, magazine or object make just a little better.

goodthingsphl.comMoira dropped out of college, moved back home to South Philly, and started working at a vintage store that’s since been knocked down (RIP BELLA VISTA VINTAGE). While she tried out other things, vintage sourcing was always her side hustle. Then she met Harry, introduced him to the world of vintage, and he was hooked. They started doing markets together and totally fell in love with being able to see the joy that these special objects brought to people. Their tiny apartment turned into a storage unit, and they quickly realized they needed a bigger space. One long sourcing day, they saw a post from Stickball about a studio available at the Vox Populi building. Without even thinking twice, they jumped at the opportunity to take over the lease. After plenty of trial and error, they’re finally ready to share their little corner of the world with you—and they couldn’t be more excited to get these treasures into their forever homes!
