  • TACO HOUSE!

    🌮 The Birth of Vintage TC: One Taco at a Time


    Before Vintage TC became a full-blown celebration of Traverse City’s retro soul, it had one bold beginning: the Taco House sign. That cactus-mounted, sombrero-topped beauty wasn’t just a logo — it was a declaration. Loud, proud, and unapologetically yellow, it was the first image we dared to resurrect.


    Taco House was our litmus test. Could we take a beloved roadside relic and turn it into a legally safe, merch-ready icon? Could we bottle nostalgia? Turns out, yes — and it tasted like tacos. That sign became the blueprint for everything Vintage TC stands for: local flavor, bold design, and the kind of memory that makes you smile before you even read the text.


    From that moment on, we weren’t just curating logos. We were curating identity. And Taco House? It was the first bite.


    THREE TACOS AND A CHERRY BURRITO COMING PLEASE!!

Rooted in Traverse City

Vintage TC was created by someone who grew up here — shaped by the seasons, the community, and the pride that comes with calling Traverse City home.

This brand exists to honor that connection.
