Introducing: OUROBOROS

kata — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:52:37 +0000

The infinite cycle of cultural creation includes a foundation of recycling and re-inspiration. Ouroboros came out of a desire to create something new rooted in the past. We’ve designed a series of essential pieces to complete your wardrobe and elevate your style to timeless chic. Each piece is hand-made in DC, following original designs that came out of both a need for simple, basic, elegant clothes and the antique metier. The Ouroboros is a symbol of recreation and rebirth, so at Treasury we’ve taken the essence of vintage craftsmanship and instilled it into our modern basics. Using eco friendly textile sources including vintage deadstock, and made to our rigorous specifications, these are pieces you can treasure forever. Available in limited numbers in store now!

Check out this great addition to the D.C. blogosphere – Shine DC, started by Sue Kyung Kim. Sue was kind enough to include us in the premier, along with our favorite fashion magazine Worn. The goal of Shine is to provide a directory of artistic events, places, and great boutiques. We love the look of it and we can’t wait to see how the site fills up. Keep doing it, Sue!

Customer Service

A couple of days ago, Helena Christensen’s mom (who looks a lot like her) helped me try on a pair of Alaia hot shorts in her vintage store. Needless to say, they didn’t fit me (they used to belong to Helena). But I was drawn to the store itself because I knew it was full of Helena’s castoffs and her mom helping me only sweetened the deal. Vintage is so wonderful because each piece has a story and when you know the story behind what you are wearing, it can give you a special allure of confidence. A lot of Treasury clients always ask if we know the story behind the pieces we sell, and most times we do because Cathy and I do all the buying for the store and can often trace it to its original source. This is a long way of saying THANK YOU to you all because Treasury has officially been open a year and we are looking forward to spending many more helping you into those Alaia shorts or whatever and telling you all about the pieces we’ve collected for you!
