Our story
Rooted in nostalgia and timeless style | est. 2024
Kitsch Carson is a thoughtfully curated lifestyle shop in the heart of Carson City, bringing together apparel, home, and meaningful goods for everyday living.
Our collection is a blend of vintage finds and modern pieces—chosen for their character, quality, and sense of story. From well-worn denim and classic wardrobe staples to heirloom-inspired home goods and small-batch provisions, each item is selected to feel both personal and enduring.
Kitsch Carson is a family endeavor, founded by Joseph and Amelia Handschuh and shaped by a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, history, and the quiet beauty of everyday objects. Rooted in Northern Nevada, our work is inspired by a life built with intention—where homes are gathered over time, wardrobes tell a story, and the things we keep close carry meaning. This shop is an extension of that way of living, influenced by years of hands-on trade, creative pursuit, and a deep respect for the past.
