I went to the CODOGIRL fashion haven in Greenwich, CT for the first time 2 days ago. I knew from the moment I walked in that I was somewhere very special. I had spoken with Anna over the phone prior to going and when she greeted me I felt an immediate connection. She was welcoming in a way that is rare these days in retail, and in life. She exuded a warmth beyond words, and clearly adores what she does and is extremely knowledgeable, treating every piece in the store like the treasure that it is. I brought several pieces to consign, two of which she chose, with a delight in their beauty and quality. For the things she did not choose, she explained exactly why, what type of fashion Codogirl looks for to add to their magnificent collection. She had a deep respect for me as a first-time seller, never giving me the impression that what I had brought was inferior in any way.
Ii spoke with Yulia Omelich, the co-founder of Codogirl, yesterday over the phone to rave about my experience. She is so humble and proud of what she has built. I felt honored to speak with her and I look forward to getting to know her better and meeting her devoted staff. I am neither young nor fashion savvy in a way that so many people are, but my interactions awakened in me my love of beautiful things, made with love and things meant to endure the ravages of time. Looking at vintage fashion brought back many memories of childhood, browsing the store windows of Manhattan, wishing I could own something lovely. With Codogirl I know that my dream will come true. No matter how much I can or cannot afford I feel that I will someday I, too, will be able to own a piece of history.
