Vintage Clothing Party: Mercedes Bien
Monday, July 23, 2007
Sorry I couldn’t post this on Friday…I was too excited by my two great vintage scores (oversize croc clutch for $9 and Fall-ready blue & white wool dress for $40-something) to remember to transfer my pictures.
The shopping party was the result of a collaboration between Miss Mercedes, who’s been on the DC vintage scene for some 25 years, and the ladies of Listopad, who have, well, some of the most unique and wearable vintage in the city. Kath & Cata plan to host more shopping events in the future. I’m excited to see what they have up their cool vintage sleeves.
The vibe at the party was so laid-back, like a gathering at a friend’s cool Adams Morgan townhouse (complete with really, really good guacamole). “This is SO cute” was heard over and over again by female shoppers, and apparently the guys were happy with their selection, though I have to admit that I was too distracted to check it out myself.
So ditch your H&M habit and go get the original thing!

I cannot take my eyes off the older gentleman with the white hair. He looks great. Like a star from an old movie; and his panache is divine, as well. I adore vintage…the real stuff. I cannot remember the last time I’ve stepped foot in an H&M or Forever21. There’s no comparison when it comes to craftmanship and flair.
Thanks so much for your support, Rachel. It was really nice to meet you. That dress looks amazing on you. -Cath, Listopad
jaja,
Yeah, he rocked. He totally had movie-star swagger, no doubt complimented by the suit he was wearing, unearthed from some fab “leftovers from movie sets” kinda consignment/vintage place in LA.
I love to work with you as a model…
