YOU’RE A HANGER

Specialties

YOU’RE A HANGER is a women and men’s vintage and consignment boutique.

History

Established in 2012.

You’re a Hanger, a vintage dress store in Emory Village, is giving a new meaning to the familiar trope «Affordable Fashion.» Just past Saba, this little-​known treasure trove offers unique outfits for as little as three dollars — perfect for college students shopping on a budget. It is a place for free-​thinkers looking to express their inner goddess.

The name «You’re a Hanger» comes from the idea that «everything looks good on you. You wear the dress; don’t let the dress wear you.» True beauty exudes from a strong woman, and the clothes you wear are merely an extension of your personality. It is not the dress itself, but the woman within which makes it pretty — something to show off. Kasita herself is a woman beautiful in her own right, an inspiration for women to follow their dreams even when they seem out of reach.

Business Owner

Kasita McCloud, a young public school teacher in Atlanta, founded You’re a Hanger in an effort to provide pretty dresses to beautiful people at a low price. Kasita doesn’t ever buy anything she can’t envision on someone else. She makes an effort to provide something for everyone in this new venture.

As a high school math teacher, Kasita did not necessarily have the income to establish her own business. She got the idea when she received an offer from a used dress sale of a whole truckload of dresses for less than three hundred dollars. Thinking she couldn’t pass up such a great deal, she took them and opened up a room in her house for her students and friends to come pick out things they like. When a friend suggested she start her own store, she said she wouldn’t have the venue for it. Then a wealthy friend offered the key to a room in Emory Village next to Saba. She points to her faith when telling how everything happened just as it needed to for her to create her own business.
