Shoppers can get their vintage and their repairs in one swoop at Manhattan Vintage Show this weekend.
Some of the arguments against shopping secondhand come in the form of wrong sizing or minor mends — but bringing repair to the doorstep of one of the largest vintage accessory, apparel and textile shows gives the advantage to customers.
The event is open to the public at $15 a ticket and returns to the Metropolitan Pavilion at 125 West 18th Street. During the show, shoppers can visit the Alternew table, located next to the fitting rooms to alter and repair their new vintage finds. Well-worn or unfitted garments get the star treatment with prices varying, depending on the need. Alternew aims to keep things affordable by replacing buttons for $3.
Nancy Rhodes, founder and chief executive officer of Alternew, said the partnership gives the start-up a runway for new growth acting as the “ultimate value proposition” by supporting repair, fit and customization on-site. One of the companies in residence at women-led networking hub Luminary, Rhodes said the partnership is the first of many in store for this year. A pilot program with trend-forward minimalist fashion house Reiss is set to launch later this month.
