Nobody in town does antiques quite like Jenny Kompolt and Melissa James at Junk Girls. The artistic (and brilliantly resourceful) duo has been crafting art, lighting, furniture, jewelry, and home décor out of vintage recycled materials since 2009. Since opening a brick-and-mortar shop in downtown San Luis Obispo in 2018, Jenny and Melissa have only broadened their reach and expanded their selections that inspire the community. Whether it's a hand-stamped necklace made out of old cutlery, a snazzy coaster cut from a vinyl record, or a full-blown artistic lighting fixture, Junk Girls has something original and useful for everybody.
