Vintage Boutique Expands Just in Time for March 12 Event Shoppers will find more vendors, clothing from a broader range of time and even vintage ephemera. CULVER CITY — February 27, 2011 — The next Helms Design District Vintage Boutique offers enthusiasts more than ever before on March 12, 2011 with the addition of five new vendors and a wider selection of unique finds. Classic, designer and repurposed women’s vintage clothing, hard-to-find men’s vintage wears, vintage jewelry and other accessories from individually selected top-tier dealers and designers were offered in 2010. With the 2011 expansion, shoppers will see a broader range of decades represented — even collections from the Victorian and Civil War eras. Those who attend the Vintage Boutique will also find vintage ephemera such as fashion magazines and vintage sewing patterns from the past. Shoppers will discover everything they need for their vintage wardrobe including beautiful handbags from the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s. And even more designers will present one-of-a-kind repurposed vintage clothing. New vendors at the March 12 event include Patty Hubbard, Lori Marsha, Ellen Weiner, Checkered Apron and Dorothy Tilley. These new vendors will accompany Timeless Vixen, Elizabeth G, Miss Kory Lynn, Vintage Blue Moon, Susan de Tresor, Little Treasures, Jermel Nakia, Rockstar Vintage Couture, Maxine Goldberg, Reneé Vintage Designs and Clever Vintage Clothing among others.

ABOUT CLEVER VINTAGE CLOTHING Clever Vintage Clothing launched in 1991 after its owner Dave C. Temple spent a lifetime inspired by vintage apparel and collected a garage full of great finds from across the United States. Temple eventually set up a showroom in downtown Los Angeles where customers of all kinds — designers, stylists, buyers, store owners, and vintage clothing collectors and enthusiasts — could find the vintage clothing they either personally wanted or needed for their business practices at a fair price with less hassle. It was a clever endeavor that has grown for over a decade and remains in its original downtown Los Angeles location.
