Were the same squad Break Away grows from vintage on the street to a shop on Capitol Hill
Break Away Vintage Market recently celebrated its grand opening on Capitol Hill, transitioning from its roots as a vendor at Late Night Vintage. Co-owner Eddie Duran emphasizes that their name reflects their heritage, not a separation from their former business partner, and invites locals to visit the newly established shop. The store boasts an extensive collection of vintage clothing and a lively atmosphere, complete with negotiable prices. Duran, along with fellow owners Nevin Poyneer and Tanner Callies, shares their journey from high school thrift enthusiasts to retail entrepreneurs. They have created a unique shopping experience that blends fashion with entertainment, including music and games.
Having built a strong following while operating at Cal Anderson Park, the team is keen to maintain their connection with the community. Duran envisions Break Away becoming a household name in vintage fashion, akin to major brands like Nike. Their commitment to quality and customer engagement sets them apart in the vibrant Capitol Hill retail landscape.
