COMMUNITY is a boutique centered around the concept of sustainability without the sacrifice of style.
Opened in 2010 by Sanni Baumgärtner in Athens, Georgia, COMMUNITY seeks to bring chic clothing to our clients while encouraging them to buy locally and sustainably. All of our pieces are either made by Georgia artisans or they are vintage pieces, each one unique. Sanni methodically picks timeless clothing in order to make the shop a truly curated experience - only the best and most well-made pieces make the cut.
The name COMMUNITY also references another central goal of the boutique - to make our space one of comfort and creativity to everyone who enters the doors. In order to do this, we constantly seek new, local art and designsIn addition to local design, we also have an in-house brand of revamped vintage clothing - COMMUNITY SERVICE. Karen Freed and Sanni Baumgärtner work together to try to take vintage clothing that, while not initially flattering or up-to-date, can still be reused to make beautiful, timeless clothing. Whether that means hemming a dress or completely reworking a romper into a pleated blouse is up to Sanni and Karen, as they constantly try new ways to update and reuse vintage fabrics and clothing, always with current fashion as an inspiration for all revamps - from the bright colors of Prada to last season's '70s aesthetic, we will always try to bring you pieces that are both beautiful and functional.
So, please stay tuned to this blog! We will bring you interviews with our artisans, street fashion from around Athens, vintage pieces from our catalog and anything/everything we see fit to post (and perhaps even an Etsy store so everyone can participate!) Thank you so much for following our efforts!
