As of late, vintage has definitely been in vogue in the Orthodox community. This reality has also motivated women to start their own home-based shops. “Orthodox women are realizing they can be very successful entrepreneurs. We have a lot of friends in this business and we’re supportive of them. It’s inspiring to see women do this and there’s a need for it,” says Chaya. There is undoubtedly a need for modest, affordable, fashionable clothes in the community, and fortunately for us, these four Brooklyn vintage shops are trying their best to close that gap. “You’re just happy when you wear vintage,” concludes Shevy simply. And, truthfully, who can argue with that statement? Vintage will always offer an intriguing story, a distinctive allure, and best of all, a creative outlet for Brooklyn’s budding fashionistas.
