A swanky Georgetown lair where aspiring fashionistas and celebrities alike go for the tried and true, coolest of the cool vintage. Annie Creamcheese has the names you know (Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Hanae Mori, Missoni) some you may not, but the bet as that you haven't seen it before, and won't see it anywhere else in DC. Believe me, the owners capitalize on this fact. The basement boutique is full of personality; makeshift "suites" separate the moderately priced from the big ticket designer collections. The place is decorated with a unique hodgepodge of vintage knick- knacks- old glass cabinets stocked full of colorful lucite bangles, excessively layered chains and pearls, or big brass heart shaped CHANEL earrings! (real, but it's going to cost you). I love the place (though I can't afford most of it). Perk: You can sell your vintage or contemporary designer duds by appointment, getting 35% in cash or 50% in store credit (no split though). Great place to go to get outfitted for theme parties, costume shopping, or for authentic quality vintage pieces.
The store in Vegas is gorgeous! Even more of an experience! That's where Annie takes her best stuff from all the estate sales and private auctions that she goes to get the her merchandise.
