Press Release Author: Some Like it Vintage

Industry: Apparel & Fashion

Press Release Summary: An eco-friendly online vintage clothing store, a portion of
all sales are donated to local Canadian shelters and programs to help end violence
against women.


Press Release Body: Vintage by default is eco-friendly as it is used clothing.
Helping the environment, vintage clothing is a recycling process using little or no
energy resources.

In 2007, Some Like it Vintage expanded into a private line of clothing simply called
'Creative Vintage'. Re-designing and re-constructing vintage garments extends them a
second life. Putting an urban and modern feel to a vintage garment while maintaining
its history is another way to reduce waste. Where possible, bio-degradable products
are also incorporated into cleaning procedures.

Items are carefully chosen to incorporate function, practicality, wearability -- and
of course high style. The quality of vintage clothing often surpasses anything made
today and not only is it environmentally friendly, it is a fun and unique way to
shop.

Helping to educate and stop domestic violence against women and their children, 10%
of all sales are donated to local women\'s shelters . 1 in 3 women at some point in
their lives, will be abused by someone they know. Women in all positions of life are
abused and yet most are too embarassed or fightened to speak about it.

Owner Veronica Cizmar has courageously recovered from a severe abusive relationship
with her former fiancé. Held hostage by him for 18 months, he is now serving an 11
year sentence. Since launching in 2006, Ms. Cizmar currently fills her time with
running Some Like it Vintage.com, donating to women\'s shelters and studying martial
arts.

Upcoming events at Some Like it Vintage include free shipping days November 17-18th,
another $500 shopping spree contest October 15-November 15, and participation in the
winter Clothing Show held in Toronto during December.
