About KDV

The story of Keep Digging Vintage begins in the 1970s when founder Adam Kennedy-Damiano (AKD) discovered his love of collecting. A born entrepreneur, Adam printed and sold his own custom t-shirts in high school. In 1997, he opened Reflect lifestyle boutique in Santa Clara, California, providing a cultural hub for the area until its closing in 2002. He moved to Los Angeles and shifted his focus to reselling rare sneakers and vintage clothing in bulk. Adam's expansive network led him to assist in the US distribution of Sole Collector Magazine and a position with concert production company Guerrilla Union where he worked with acts like Rage Against The Machine, Wu-Tang Clan, Cypress Hill, & Many More.

In 2008, Adam began a life partnership with Corey Thomas, and soon after his career pivoted into manufacturing. He worked with artists like Sam Flores, Buff Monster, Alex Pardee, and Joe Ledbetter to manufacture collectible vinyl toys and inflatables. In 2012, Corey started a cannabis brand that grew into a beloved award-winning company and the couple worked their way into successful positions in corporate cannabis. Over the past 16 years together, the pair have continued to amass a large collection of highly desirable collectibles and memorabilia.

Adam and Corey are excited to share Keep Digging Vintage, an online gallery of nearly 50 years of collecting. Something for everyone.
