Look Book for Winter / Spring 2011
RR's Prize for this month's contest
Julia Rhee and Jenny Ton are Retrofit Republic: “… a sustainable vintage store with a social impact.” That’s the blueprint of their identity. In a secret location on Haight street is where you’ll find this if-you-blink, you’ll-miss-it gem, stowed behind the facades iron gates & Victorian architecture. Ladies, this is your new favorite vintage boutique you’ve never heard of. Shoes, belts, handbags, gloves, jewelry, hats, coats, suites, dresses, et cetera…. Adore would be too vapid a description to reflect my feelings for this boutique and the incredibly dapper beasts behind RR. I had the privilege of grazing the threads by private invitation a couple months ago and became enamored by their sumptuous pieces. In addition to their super-lovely treasures, they also host contests, including this month’s: a vintage Poloroid camera. Oh, yeah, AND a portion of their proceeds will go to “under-resources communities and our environment.” Dream girls, indeed. Acquaint yo’self, here.
