About Us

28 year old Sydney Gordon always valued sustainability and the art of vintage fashion. "I have an old soul" Sydney would often say. Folk Vintage is a Vintage shop located on 446 Thames street, Newport, Rhode Island. Once on Spring Street in 2022, Folk started the new year on Thames. Folk carries hand selected vintage pieces curated by Sydney. Sydney's love for vintage and sustainability all started when she would thrift in college at the Goodwills in South Florida. Sydney studied Digital Marketing and Photography at Lynn University in Boca Raton Florida. Sydney puts her knowledge to use with her other business-- Syd Gord Studio which is a marketing agency where Sydney manages her clients online presence. Post college Sydney traveled and lived in places like Thailand, Turkey, and Australia and came to find out that Newport Rhode Island is where she wanted to claim her forever home. "Newport is not only my forever home, it is also Folk Vintage that is my home, I hope Folk feels like home to others too".
