...Sales have stayed about steady at Oona’s even though White is seeing “a lot more competition” from other vintage stores. Her big season is Halloween, when customers come in to snatch up flapper and flower child ensembles, but Oona’s also carries clothing suitable for daily wear. She said that she has seen a marked upswing in everyday men’s clothing, since men’s fashions rarely change over the years...
