5 /5 Lindsey Pugh: I met Laura at a vintage market in New York City. I was recently engaged and not necessarily looking for any bridal pieces just yet. However, the RERACKED booth immediately caught my eye because of a small but gorgeous selection of bridal gowns on display. Each one was more beautiful than the last and I picked a few to try on. Despite how crowded and hectic the market was and how busy Laura was with customers, she provided one on one assistance to me and my mom. I only ended up trying on one dress because I put it on and immediately knew it was the one! Laura couldn’t have been more excited for me.
One year later, I was looking for a reception dress and knew immediately I wanted to first reach out to Laura before looking anywhere else. Her kindness, expert eye, and genuine excitement stuck with me for the entire year and I wanted to reconnect. We immediately set up a time for me and my mom to visit her store in Kingston. The store is a dream come true. Everywhere you look there are stunning vintage pieces in pristine condition. The appointment could not have been more magical. I had never had a typical wedding dress try on because the first dress I tried I bought! Laura went above and beyond to make the entire day magical. I did not have a specific vision for what I was looking for so she pulled so many different and unique pieces for me to try on. I gasped each time she zipped me into a new look. I tried on dresses from Fendi, Dior, Vera Wang, Halston to name a few. My mom and I spent hours in the store twirling, taking photos, laughing and making memories we will never forget. On top of all of that - I found exactly what I was looking for and walked out with my reception dress! I now have three stunning and unique dresses from RERACKED I will be wearing for my wedding and surrounding events.
I absolutely can’t wait for my next visit to the store. All (not just bridal) vintage lovers should run to RERACKED because there are so many beautiful pieces to be found and loved. Laura is an artist in curation. She knows it is more than clothing, it is stories and lives lived, it is emotions of important days, it is the past joining the future.
