Honeywine Vintage and Gifts is owned and operated by Courtney and Sebastian Kavinsky, a brother and sister duo. All of Honeywine's products are sourced as vintage finds or from small-business vendors from across the United States.

Courtney and Sebastian were both born and raised on Long Island, before attending CUNY and NYU respectively. In 2010, Courtney contacted Sebastian - a web designer - about designing a website so she could sell various clothing and vintage pieces that she'd picked up throughout her time in college. What started out as an online-only venture slowly developed into a brick and mortar endeavor, and the Honeywine boutique opened in late 2014.
