Ornysun

Syracuse


Ornysun peddles vintage fashion and accessories, with a special focus on the 1950s to 1990s. Step back in time for anything from handmade blouses and cat-eye sunglasses to look-at-me 80s swimsuits or a pair of Parfois suede-and-leather slippers. Offerings include the owner's own line of retro-graphic t-shirts, while a small selection of men's threads might include cool, Sicilian-inspired graphic tees from SicilyLab.
