The Killer Clothing Collective (TKCC) is a vintage clothing shop and experimental fashion studio located at 519 Thain Rd., Suite A, in Lewiston. It is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 6:30 p.m.
The business, run by Patrick Brown-Hayes, buys vintage clothing from the pre-2000s, and they up-cycle old garments. Their mission is to preserve trendy, vintage or retro clothing that usually gets thrown away. It is a great place to go for genuine vintage clothing that’s reasonably priced.
A new offering at the shop is called the $30 Mystery Locker. Shoppers can pick small, medium, large and extra large sizes. The three-item mystery locker contains one vintage shirt, one Y2K shirt, and one Harley shirt. Customers can purchase lockers on the store’s website, then receive an email containing a locker number. The locker and code will be available for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the purchase will be available to pick up during business hours at the front of the building. The shirts may contain rips, tears, holes, stains, or other marks one may find on vintage clothing.
