Vintage Gratitude Never Gets Old
Annie Potasznik
After twenty years, Gratitude has moved to its new location a couple blocks down Fairmount St.
Opening Gratitude 20 years ago was the first of two life-changing decisions for owners Marion Weger and Don Dent. The second was their choice to live a sober life. Both decisions have paid off for the couple.
Their eclectic vintage boutique is one of the best places to find one-of-a-kind fashions in Dallas. Well-coifed stylistas aren’t the only people keeping Gratitude on their fashion radars.
In the short time we were there, a man walked in looking for an old perfume bottle atomizer. Only moments later a mom walked in and asked where she could find a outfit for her daughter who is starring in her high school musical. One customer of 15 years admitted that she purposely never told friends about it because she wanted to keep all its great finds to herself -- that's just not right, so we had to tell you about Gratitude. Sorry, lady.
Here’s a list of some of the more notable style mavens (and what they bought) who have shopped at Gratitude.
- Zac Posen bought a lot of hats.
- Mena Suvari bought a belt.
- Bette Midler bought a white fox stole.
- Nanette LaPour bought some dresses.
- Boy George bought some military jackets and club wear.
- Buyers for Gucci stocked up on various items.
- Buyers for Jimmy Choo bought hats and clothes.
