Via Gypset

Great store! I originally went in because of a cool vintage dress they had in the window. It was well out of my price range, but I walked out of the store with a cool shirt and nice dress that I could afford. The staff was incredibly friendly (I think my cashier's name was Isabella, but it says Isabee on my receipt?) and I will definitely return again. Highly recommend!

I lived in DC for a spell and going to VG was a great experience. The selection was awesome, the prices were good, and when I took in to consign, it was a pleasure. I got a check in a timely way and overall, it was the best secondhand designer shop I've been in -- including several spots in my hometown of Chicago. Highly recommended!

Love the assortment of clothes, house-wares, and accessories! Truly contains hidden gems and the selection is not picked over like a lot of what the area has to offer. Friendly staff but not in-your-face annoying. Great café downstairs with a quaint neighborhood feel that is sometimes hard to find in D.C.

I hadn't read the reviews before trying Via Gypset, just spotted it on my walk home one day & thought I'd check it out. After about 30 minutes spent browsing, I can say I agree with a lot of these reviews, both positive & negative. Via Gypset has an incredibly cool selection of clothing, jewelry, & accessories. So many pretty things! The store has a hip, cozy feel to it, like you're exploring your hip grandmother's very well-put-together attic closets. It's decorated colorfully & with a quirky, vintage feel - lace against exposed brick, old clocks & china on the walls, weathered photographs throughout. I loved the intentional decor with the eclectic clothing, all of it in great condition, very clean, well-pressed, etc. This isn't one of those consignment stores that feels like a gross thrift store. If I were a size or two smaller, I think I would've found a ton of gems to choose from. That said, I also agree with the other reviewers who've commented on the staff's attitude. There were four young women about my age sitting in the store when I entered, chatting & looking strangely cliquey for a store. I was a little intimidated off the bat, as they didn't acknowledge me & it almost seemed like I'd walked into someone's private party. They paid me absolutely no attention (which is fine, I was shopping!) as they gossiped about a party & some friend they didn't like - until I asked if there was more upstairs. The girl behind the desk told me she'd need to store my purse - my little purse! - behind the front desk if I wanted to go up. I saw literally NO signs that said that ANYwhere, so I didn't know if it was an actual policy or if I just somehow looked untrustworthy because I was, like, wearing a hoodie?! I guess I'm glad to see that it's not just me, but there should be signs up clearly stating that policy, if they insist upon having it. Frankly, I found the policy obnoxious enough that I nearly left instead of going upstairs. The employee who asked for my bag was just so damn snooty about it that it was really off-putting. When I did go upstairs for a bit, though, I tried on a few things & waffled on a cute Zara dress. Ultimately, though, I left empty-handed because I honestly didn't want to have to interact any further with the staff, so I didn't bother. It's a cute place, but their staff needs an attitude check. I don't think I'll be back.

My favorite vintage shop in the city. I always leave with some interesting new work clothes (business casual) and really fun vintage pieces in great condition.

Enjoyed my time here.

Clothes are gorgeous!
