Why Buy Vintage?

1. •It is environmentally sound. The quality garments and accessories at Karen’s Vintage Couture can have second and third lives in the wardrobes of women who embrace a green lifestyle and seek out quality.
   

2. •It saves money. Gently used couture and designer clothing are available at Karen’s Vintage Couture for a fraction of their original price. These stunning, high quality items have been well cared for, dry-cleaned by a “green” dry cleaner, and can be tailored on-site.
   

3. •It adds distinction to any wardrobe. Including vintage items with newer clothing helps women create unique outfits that set them apart. It spurs creativity to re-think and re-use a classic item in a new way.
   

4. •It helps worthy organizations that serve people, the environment and animals. When you donate your clothing, Karen’s Vintage Couture pays its nonprofit partners directly to support their work. By shopping and donating at Karen’s Vintage Couture, you get a great deal and support national and local non profits.
   

Karen’s Vintage Couture is the marriage of two passions – fashion and philanthropy. Karen Mayers Gamoran has spent the past 25 years raising more than $150 million for social, charitable and political organizations – while raising a family and growing a closet packed with designer treasures.

Today, as non profits struggle to meet their budgets and fashion lovers seek out green, quality and low-waste choices, Karen’s Vintage Couture serves both. A selected group of non profits share in a steady stream of funds, couture buyers can find new homes for their treasures and fashionistas and budget-conscious clothing lovers can enhance their wardrobes with one-of-a kind looks of top quality.
