BLENDING OLD AND NEW FOR A LOOK THAT’S TOTALLY YOU

Glamour Magazine, Virtual Vintage, and Lucire Online Magazine all cite vintage clothing as a top way for shoppers to create a unique wardrobe that matches their personal style, and each publication gives top marks to Unique Vintage!

The Unique Vintage web store is the brain child of 32 year old mom, Katie Echeverry. While Katie’s young daughter is only 3 months old, Unique Vintage is her five year old first born. Offering unique vintage clothing from the 1920’s thru 1970’s; Unique Vintage has belted up the market for high quality, fashionable vintage clothing from the silver screen, from celebrities and more and delivers to some of the chicest boutiques, clothiers, and shoppers all over the world!

What started out as a hobby among 27 year old friends has become a full-time business for Echeverry.

Providing hip to classic vintage fashions for the top of the head down to the tip of the toes in a stylish, easy to navigate web store takes the hours of legwork out of finding vintage clothing for her customers. Ms. Echeverry selects the finest quality vintage clothing items and then displays them in her storefront windows online for shoppers. The vintage clothing phenomena isn’t really new at all, says Echeverry. “There has always been a loyal following of vintage enthusiasts of all ages. However, it seems that more and more people have learned how to blend vintage pieces into their wardrobe for a great, individual look. The latest trends seem to be 1950’s swing dresses and bohemian chic.”

Katie Echeverry further demystifies sizing dilemmas by translating the outdated vintage sizing into current day sizes for a simple online shopping experience. Accurate descriptions and measurements for every piece of clothing help customers today fit easily into the vintage clothing of yesteryear. Unique-Vintage.com and Echeverry further set themselves above the rest by providing clear, crisp pictures, reasonable shipping rates, an unheard of return policy and a shopping cart that accepts Visa, Mastercard and Paypal. Katie is currently working on her own line of reproduction vintage clothing in the harder to find larger sizes, making Unique-Vintage.com a shopping haven for women of every size.

While younger than many of her vintage clothing purveyor counterparts, Katie brings a fresh approach, friendly shopping experience, and excellent knowledge of the vintage clothing market to her customers. After five years of managing http://www.Unique-Vintage.com online around her life and her full time career, Ms. Echeverry has recently left her full time job to be a full time vintage clothing supplier to savvy shoppers everywhere.
