Help Us Build Our Worker-Owned Vintage and Maker Cooperative

We’re thrilled to share that Gold Star Vintage has secured a location in the beautiful Brookland Park neighborhood! We plan to open in ★ Spring 2027 ★

Now, we’re asking for the community’s support to help us transform this space into the welcoming, worker-owned vintage and maker cooperative we’ve been dreaming of.

Imagine a place where every item tells a story, every purchase supports a local entrepreneur, and every dollar stays in our community. That's the vision behind Gold Star Vintage.

Gold Star Vintage will be Richmond's first worker-owned vintage and maker retail cooperative. A permanent marketplace where dozens of local vendors can build sustainable businesses together instead of competing alone.

Our shop will be more than a vintage store. It will be a community space where you can discover affordable vintage clothing, antiques, handmade goods, original art, and one-of-a-kind treasures. It will host community markets and neighborhood events that bring people together around creativity and sustainability.

Your donation will help us secure our first permanent home by funding:

• The retail space build-out

• Display fixtures and shelving

• Point-of-sale equipment

• Insurance and startup costs

Every contribution, whether it's $10 or $1,000, brings us one step closer to opening our doors.

Donate if you can. Share our campaign. Tell your friends.

Together, we can build something that belongs to all of us.

Thank you for believing in Gold Star Vintage! We can't wait to welcome you through our doors!

Please save your GoFundMe receipt, if you are able to donate, for 10% off your first purchase at the Gold Star Vintage shop (exclusions may apply).
