Vintage clothing shop Bandit MKE opening on Brady Street June 1
Bandit MKE at 1224 E. Brady St. will open June 1.
Bandit will stock vintage clothing and accessories spanning from the 1950s through the turn of the millennium. Customers can expect to find 50s fit and flare dresses, 60s mod, 70s boho and 80s sequins. Bandit also has jewelry, hats, belts, shoes and sunglasses.
Co-owners Nichole Larson, Liz Kiesling and Michelle Eigenberger said the idea is to be inclusive with clothing stocked without size or gender labels. The owners want to sell clothes for everybody and every body. Most items are between $10 and $40.
Elizabeth Kiesling have been involved in the world of vintage clothing. They’ve scouted pieces all over the country, even the world. They’ve bought and sold plenty.
The trio had been holding pop-up sales and going to vintage markets for years. Then the pandemic hit, and like so many things, these markets for vintage clothing were closed or cancelled.
“So we thought, ‘let’s throw some sales in our backyard’,” Larson told Urban Milwaukee.
They made sure people wore masks and they limited the entrants, they said, and it was hugely popular. So they held them throughout the summer. They were making so much money, they decided to take their business to the next level.
