Voting is for Lovers

Its that time again...the air is warmer, the birds sing louder, and Orlando Weekly has their "Best Of" poll where you can vote on all the things you love about the charming city of Orlando. Being awarded the "Best Of" is a great honor, and helps many businesses/people reach out to the community even more.

Here are three great reasons you should vote FOUND (A Vintage Shop) in the Best Vintage Shop category.

#1-Product: We constantly research current fashion trends and familiarize ourselves with vintage designers to ensure you are getting an authentic vintage item that you can actually work into your wardrobe without making you look overly dated. Buying vintage says a lot about a person. It shows you are interested in a unique piece no one else with have, and you are conscious of the positive impact buying vintage has on the environment. We also take those facts into consideration when choosing items to sell.

#2-Events: We host and participate in events to build better relationships with the community. We have hosted Fashion Shows, Pin-Up and holiday parties, and have partnered with other local green vendors for an Earth Day event. We have worked closely with other brilliant small businesses like Tatame Sake Lounge, Twist Hair Salon, Know They're Looking Pin-Up Photography, Mixed Media Baked Goods, and Mama's Sauce Print Shop. A partnership between other local businesses helps to identify these treasures to the public, and encourages the community to shop locally.

#3-Price: Like I mentioned above, we put a lot of thought into our items to ensure they work with today's fickle fashion fads. Most current designers use silhouettes, patterns and fabrics from past decades then reconstruct them to make them appear updated. Why spend $795 on a mass produced designer shirtdress when you can get the original inspiration of that dress for $40?
We encourage you to log into http://www.orlandoweekly.com/boo2009/poll.asp and vote for all the things that you love in Orlando. Thank you for all the support! -Love, FOUND
