Desert Vintage Boutique Expands to New York with Ténéré Collection
Tucson, Arizona – Desert Vintage, a boutique specializing in rare designer clothing, has made its mark in the fashion world since Salima Boufelfel and Roberto Cowan took over in 2012. Known for their unique offerings such as a century-old Fortuny evening robe or an Azzedine Alaïa suede wraparound top, the boutique has now expanded to New York with their Orchard Street outpost in 2022.
To complement their period pieces, Boufelfel has introduced her own designs under the collection named Ténéré, which means “desert” in Tuareg. The collection is designed to be versatile, meant to be worn across seasons and settings. From airy crinkled chiffon dresses to sleeveless caftans stitched with antique African trade beads, the collection offers a range of options for fashion-forward individuals. The silk lounge sets, available in sandy shades and poppy red, are modeled after Desert Vintage’s best-selling 1920s loungewear ensembles.
With prices starting from $598, the Ténéré collection is now available at tenere.com, offering a unique blend of vintage and contemporary fashion for those looking to make a statement with their wardrobe. Boufelfel’s Arizona origins and Berber heritage shine through in each piece, making it a must-have for fashion enthusiasts looking for something truly special.
