ABOUT BUS SHOPPE

Bus Shoppe is the brain child of Melanie Dado, an innovative, Bohemian jewelry designer and artist who works and resides in her Sonoma County, California art studio. She created the "Bus Shoppe" in 2013 in order to bring her clients brave Boho fashion to music festivals in the greater bay area.   

Melanie has spent 20 years perfecting her passion for fashion having owned and operated a brick and mortar store for a decade at StarStruck Boutique and Gallery of Art, where she curated art exhibits and mixed live music performances at the soirees so clients could gather and connect while they shopped, sipped and savored the fashion.

Taking that combination to heart, Melanie realized it was the perfect trifecta for a beautiful shopping experience; Music, art and fashion made everything come to life. With that, she downsized, simplified and searched for the the perfect platform which has become Bus Shoppe!

In a converted 25 foot School Bus, Melanie created a beautiful Bohemian mobile fashion boutique for both Men and Women. Bus Shoppe showcases her clothing and jewelry collections at music festivals all over the San Francisco bay area. Find a uniquely curated selection of festival fashion, custom jewelry, bustiers, corsets and stage wear for performers too with a twist of some old school vintage threads just to be cool.  

Once on board, Check out the M Collection Jewelry, Melanie's private label ~ Custom pieces all hand-wire wrapped in sterling silver using found objects, vintage finds and semi-precious gemstones to create wearable works of art.  

Melanie is an artist at heart and enjoys spending her spare time in the garden, working on home improvement projects, is an AirBNB Super host offering stays in her Victorian heritage home and she is a freelance fashion stylist, graphic designer and photographer too.

Makers are going to make and that's what makes the world go round! We hope you enjoy your virtual shopping on the Bus Shoppe and invite you to visit in person soon ~for even better festival finds.

Cheers!

In Music, Art & Fashion we trust!
