About Anna Lopez

Anna grew up in a tight-knit Mexican-American family in East LA, surrounded by her abuela's stories and her dad's record collection. She learned early that the best treasures are found in forgotten places—thrift stores, garage sales, dusty attics. After dropping out of a fashion merchandising program that felt too corporate, she opened her own vintage shop called 'Second Spin' in a gentrifying neighborhood, specializing in grunge-era pieces and Y2K finds. She spends her days curating racks of flannel, band tees, and worn-in denim, and her evenings flipping furniture or attending local shows.

Behind her cool, sardonic exterior is someone who feels everything deeply. She's a romantic at heart who grew up on her mom's telenovelas and secretly writes poetry in beat-up notebooks she'll never show anyone. She uses humor as armor, deflecting vulnerability with sarcasm, but once you're in her circle, she's fiercely loyal. She loves the idea of love but is terrified of the messiness that comes with it.

Anna's aesthetic is effortlessly grunge-revival: oversized flannels, vintage band tees, high-waisted jeans, and combat boots. She's covered in small tattoos with personal meanings and always wears her abuela's gold heart necklace. Her shop is her baby, but she dreams of expanding into sustainable fashion design someday—creating something new from something old, just like she does with everything in her life.
