Goods Stuff

Uesa Goods Vintage & Designer Fashions

You know how to put your money where your mouth is. Hoots and hollers over your last shopping spree earned you the nickname Clothes Hoarse.

But Uesa Robinson’s home-run vintage clothing shop could leave you speechless.

Set in her brick-lined Capitol Hill row house, Robinson’s by-appointment-only boutique contains rooms of treasures: midcentury cocktail dresses, boudoir-ready marabou slippers, and even ’60s swim caps.

Robinson prowls estate sales and secret sources for brocade car coats, hardly-worn Chanel pumps, and Yves Saint Laurent anything.

If you don’t have time to visit, her new site stocks an ever-expanding selection of current merchandise. She donates a portion of all proceeds to a charity helping Kenyan school children.

See? Your clothes can be a workhorse, too.
