Ropa Vintage x Euphoria Market
Diana Quezada’s journey into vintage fashion didn’t begin with a business plan. It started with necessity.
As a single mom in 2018, she was thrifting for herself and her son, searching for quality clothes at affordable prices. But over time, her collection grew larger than she had ever anticipated. “Before I knew it, my whole car was full of clothes—my trunk, the backseat. My son was lucky if he had enough space back there,” she recalls. What began as a practical habit soon turned into an unexpected passion.
Her turning point came when a friend invited her to sell at a local vintage pop-up at a bar in Washington, D.C. Without a shop name or an Instagram page, Quezada took a leap of faith, bought some clothing racks, and set up her first pop-up booth. To her surprise, the event was a success, and the idea of turning her love for thrifting into something bigger started to take shape. She soon launched Ropa Vintage, leveraging her father’s warehouse to store inventory and host events.
Wanting to expand her reach, Quezada connected with creatives, such as the Founder and CEO of Euphoria Market, Fabrico Gammara, who recognized the potential in her space. They partnered to host multiple pop-ups, helping her build a loyal clientele and refine her brand. Now, as Ropa Vintage evolves into more of a passion project, Quezada focuses on women’s clothing and works with Euphoria Market to create a dedicated space for women vendors and shoppers.
“I’ve followed my instincts up until this point, and it’s led me to incredible opportunities,” she says. Her advice to aspiring entrepreneurs? “Take risks, connect with others, and embrace trial and error. That’s how you grow.”
Now, Quezada and Euphoria Market are gearing up to host the DMV Women's Market on Saturday, February 8, creating a vibrant space for women vendors and shoppers to connect, celebrate, and support one another.
