Vintage meets new at the Vinew in Liberty Hill The Vinew in Liberty Hill gives shoppers a chance to diversify their wardrobe while support- ing area nonpro ts. The boutique sells retail and resale clothing. The store o ers new items, like jeans and solid color apparel, that out ts can be built upon with the shop’s selection of unique resale items, said Vinew owner Deanna Ferguson. Two-minute impact Ferguson and a former coworker came up with the name “Vinew” about nine years ago. “It’s where ‘vintage’ and ‘new’ collide, so it’s the two words put together,” Ferguson said. A portion of the revenue from every sale goes to area nonpro ts, Ferguson said. The store is set to work with 11 nonpro ts this year. So far, The Vinew has partnered with Foundation XXLHope, which mentors youth on business and life skills, and Yesterday’s Gone, which supports women getting out of abusive situations, as its yearlong nonpro t partners for 2025. The store will be cycling through other area nonpro ts on a quar- terly basis throughout the year. What to know The shop o ers memberships for $21.99 per month. Members get 10% o all retail and 30% o all resale. Additionally, members get access to a monthly “after hours” sale, where they can get 20% o retail and 50% o resale, Ferguson said. There is also a member lounge in the boutique with seating, drinks and a TV.
