History
Established in 2021.
Vers is a multi-designer boutique and community hub of local designers who make their own designs & people who find joy in self-expression.
The designers & makers of Vers have been connected through pop up shops, events and spaces in the queer realms of Brooklyn for more than a decade.
Each designer has their own metric for sustainability; upcycling, zero waste design, sourcing eco-effective materials, buying local deadstock fabric… the list goes on. The connective thread is that everyone makes their pieces by hand, in house, in community. We are dressing our neighbors.
Personal style and finding clothing that makes you feel powerful and actualized in your body is important! Some of our most fulfilling work is connecting people who often have a difficult time finding clothes that fit them - whether size-wise, gender-based or aesthetic-driven - with pieces that fit the body and speak to the soul! That’s why so many of Vers designers will make custom sizes!
Meet the Business Owner: Tilly J.
I started VERS as a way for people to connect with local clothing creators and find fashion that is handmade with love by the designers themselves. My transformable, gender-inclusive designs called Tillium flip upsidown, inside out and backwards to become dozens of garments in one! This inspired the versatility of the storefront space - it is a boutique, a sewing workshop, an intimate performance venue and so much more.
As a queer, non-binary person, I love helping people find clothing that truly speaks to their individual spirit. Come see me in the shop and find the outfits of your dreams!
