The flurry of vintage clothing shows and shopping is a harbinger of spring at big flea markets in Brimfield and Manhattan, where entry lines often wind round the block. Closer to home, the Benefit Shop Foundation Inc. introduced a Pop-Up Fashion Charity Sale onsite that features thousands of fashion items and clothing for men and women.
Offering a wide range from formal to casual and street to chic, the sale will take place at 185 Kisco Ave., Suite 101, Friday, May 17, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, May 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“From trendy to comfortable, we will have clothes from every decade in every size. This is a great opportunity to make room in your closet, renew your spring style and support a great cause,” said Pam Stone, founder and president of the Benefit Shop Foundation. She explains that proceeds from the sale will benefit dozens of area
nonprofit groups whom she partners with.
Rare items from the retro graphic tees that are surging in popularity today to Palm Beach vintage will be showcased along with items not found in most department stores. A large collection of vintage and Y2K clothing will be a featured highlight.
If you’ve ever wished to cherry pick the closets of the most well-dressed Manhattanites and Greenwich residents, this sale is the place to be. Prices also will be a fraction of what vintage shops in Manhattan charge. Most items on the first day will be priced at $5 and $10 and items will be half-off the second day.
