Our founder, Hao Jing, developed her love for vintage and high-quality items over her years of living and working in Asia, the USA and Europe as a model for several major fashion houses. Her passion for interesting and unique objects inspired her to launch our boutique - Haobalabu. We source our vintage items globally, personally crafting and curating our product mix to create a special online shopping experience.

In addition to using her artist’s eye for selecting vintage pieces, Hao also creates her own jewelry. She loves to work with both vintage and new jewelry, infusing them with stylistic elements to create one-of-a-kind pieces.
