Interested? Here’s our schedule…
Sunday October 2. 2 to 8 pm.
We’ll be on the patio at Science Club. Come and hang out with us. We’ll be listening to some cool melodies and enjoying fine drinks. Bring some clothes you would like to consign. We’ll approve what works for us, work with you to price it and put it in our inventory. Start thinking about your Tweed Ride ensemble. Need a brush up on the era? We’ve got a special treat. Join us for a special screening of clips of Prohibition, the new film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. A co-production of Florentine Films and WETA. The film explores the Prohibition movement in historical context and spotlights the monumental social and cultural change wrought by the Eighteenth Amendment and its ineffectual enforcement. Tune in to WETA TV 26 or WETA HD later that night to catch the film’s 8 p.m. premiere.
Sunday October 16. 2 to 8 pm.
On this Sunday, well be set up to begin selling what we’ve collected. You can continue to bring in clothes and we will work quickly to get approved pieces priced, inventoried and on display. If you don’t have anything to sell but want to see what’s available, that’s fine! If you want to simply join us for drinks and grab a bite, stop by and spend some time with us as discuss clothes, style, leisure and more.
Sunday October 30. 2 to 8 pm
Our final day of buying and selling before the Tweed Ride. We plan to include select vendors as a part of the experience to help you get outfitted for the upcoming November Tweed Ride.
