Thank you for 21 beautiful years, Ann Arbor!

First and most importantly, THANK YOU: to every person who has worked for us, to all the artists who trusted us to host you and your creations, and most of all to our loyal customers of the past 21 years - there has been no greater compliment than seeing you out & about in our vintage pieces around town.

Our move from State Street allowed us to build The Getup that we had always dreamed of - and we got to see it all lit up in neon! We feel like it is no surprise anymore when independent local shops can no longer take on the weight of high rent and the cost of operations as a brick and mortar. Coupled with the construction, street closures, and reduced foot traffic we saw as a result, it is with great sadness that we must announce our closing.

To our past and present employees: your creativity, hard work, kindness and real love for The Getup gave us super powers. You made each customer feel at home, while being an extension of us every time you were here - and we are so immensely proud to see everything you all have done!

To the people who have sold to us: we will forever be grateful that you choose our store to have your belongings live on. What an incredible, awesome experience it was every time you opened your homes to us. Oh, the treasures and stories we found within! Wearing and preserving fashion history is so special and really became the most beautiful part of this business. 

We loved being Ann Arbor’s place to explore your fashion persona; a safe place for young and old to reflect on themselves; and be a home to the rockstars, misfits, and wildlings that came through — we won’t forget any of you. There was true magic when you found the unique, perfect vintage garment — and the memories these pieces of clothing contained made it all the more special. Truly, we remember every cool thing we have sold to every person who was so thrilled to find it. We can’t say it enough, THANK YOU for coming in time after time to see what fun things we had found for you and trusting us with those personal moments you share with us. 

The Getup Vintage is honored to have been a weird little vintage store in Ann Arbor for the past 21 years, and we’ve loved every minute of it. You’ll remember us when <3

Love, 
Lindsey and Kaylan
