Recessionista Loves Decades.



I never feel really bad when I spend money on couture. Especially if it's 80% off of the retail price. When I do save money, I grow some balls and go to the vintage couture shop known as DecadesTwo, a shop notably attended by power stylist, Rachel Zoe. Decades is now opening in the East Coast.

They’ve acquired a small space above Soho’s Kiki de Montparnasse and collected 2000 pieces of designer clothes, jewelry, bags and shoes to sell to (new)vintage hungry New Yorkers.

The store will be there from May 14th to 17th but there’s one small catch, for the first few days it’s only open to their already loyal clients and invited guests. The public may shop on the last day, but who knows how much of the Marc/Chloe/Balenciaga/Chanel/Prada stash will be left by then - especially since loads of it will be priced about 80% below retail.

Rachel Zoe’s donated a good chunk of her closet and a portion of the profits will help a Detroit based charity.

Fingers crossed for Balenciaga SS08 florals
