point of departure is a womenswear brand that curates small collections of vintage and designer clothing.

Point of Departure (POD) is a womenswear brand and vintage clothing shop curating small, intentional collections of vintage and designer fashion. We specialize in collectible, wearable pieces that span eras, with an emphasis on versatility, sustainability, and distinct silhouettes.

POD is rooted in the belief that getting dressed is a universal daily ritual: one that quietly shapes our memories, relationships, and sense of self. Clothing becomes a backdrop to life’s most most salient, memorable, horrifying, glorious, and mundane affairs. Through curated vintage designer clothing, POD encourages curiosity, experimentation, and thoughtful risk-taking in the way we dress. The brand explores how style intersects with lived experience, creativity, and identity rather than trend cycles alone.

Whether deeply engaged in fashion or simply getting dressed each morning, the way we choose clothing helps shape our personal identity. Point of Departure is interested in examining and deconstructing that idea: how fashion, memory, and daily life intersect and offering clothing as a tool for storytelling, connection, and self-discovery.
