Bring Sophie's Unique Store to Life in Richmond

Help Me Bring My Dream (and the Coolest Store in Richmond) to Life!

Hey homies!

I’m about to take a huge leap, and I need your help to make it happen. Picture this: a cozy, quirky little storefront in Carytown, Richmond VA where every corner is filled with a curated mix of new and vintage clothing, alternative style fashion, vintage furniture, and artisan goods from across the country. Yep, you read that right—everything you didn’t know you needed but now can’t live without. +cats of course. There will be many cats.

I’ve always dreamed of creating a place that’s part fashion haven, part thrift-store treasure hunt, part artistic oasis. A space where every piece tells a story, where you can find the perfect vintage leather jacket to pair with some funky jewelry from a local artisan, or snag that mid-century modern lamp that will make your living room look like it belongs in a magazine (we all deserve that, right?).

But here's the thing: making this dream a reality costs a lot, and my cats don’t carry their weight around here tbh!! I need your support to help me secure a space, stock up on some seriously cool inventory, and create an unforgettable shopping experience that’s totally unique to Richmond.

Whether you’re helping me pay for rent, buying inventory from across the country (there’s a lot of thrifting and sourcing involved!), or just contributing to building the dream from the ground up, any donation will bring me closer to opening the doors of the coolest store in Carytown.

I promise this won’t be just another shop—it will be a community hub for all things style, art, and self-expression. And you’ll be a part of making that happen. If you’ve ever loved finding a hidden gem in a vintage store, have an eye for funky, or just want to support a local eccentric, this is your chance to make a difference.

What do I need?

* Funds to secure the storefront (you know how rent works, right?)

* Inventory and supplies (shoutout to all the amazing small businesses and creators I’ll be working with)

* A marketing budget so that everyone in Richmond knows where to find the good stuff

Even if you can’t donate, sharing this campaign with your friends is an epic W! So, let’s make this store a reality—together!

Thank you so much for any help, love, or good vibes you can send my way. You’ll get to say, “I was part of that!” when you see my store buzzing with happy ppl and quirky finds.

With gratitude (and excitement!),

-Sophie
