This Old Thing? Reused Men's and Womenswear Hits Boston This Weekend
As we wait to see what sorts of re-used umbrella couture our Umbrella Inside Out entrants come up with, we like filling readers in on favorite old-to-new designers. Lucky Bostonians get to see the goods in person in a big way this weekend when Brooklyn-based This Old Thing? masterminds Roy Caires and Tommy Cole take their wares north. Sunday's not-to-miss overflow sale will feature over 500 pieces at prices belying their intricately reconstructed origins. If you've always wanted to see yourself or your boyfriend in one-of-a-kind duds, but balked at the prices, this is your day. “Every designer seems to be imitating vintage in their collections and charging an arm and a leg for it. This is how you get the look for real cheap, and it’s the real deal,” Caires tells the Boston Herald.
According to the Herald, you'll see these sorts of numbers: women's dresses starting at $25, jewelry from $5 to $45, men's Western-style shirts for $25 to $35 and jackets ranging from $35 to $45. Pull out your stealth shopping combat maneuvers and get to Design of Boston between 12 - 8. :: This Old Thing? via the Boston Herald
