The Vault by Volpe Beringer is an online designer luxury resale store founded by Philly designer and Project Runway’s Season 18 runner-up Nancy Volpe Beringer.  At age 64, Nancy made history as the oldest ever designer on the show and paved her way to the Project Runway finale through her creativity, determination, and quest for melding sustainability and inclusivity. She presented the first-ever zero-waste NYFW Project Runway finale with models of all sizes, races, gender identities, and abilities.

Nancy’s Project Runway experience strengthened her determination to promote more diversity, sustainability, and inclusivity in the fashion industry. Her first step began with herself. Having worked in a corporate-type setting for years, Nancy collected many designer pieces, handpicked from consignment stores throughout the world. After years of compiling an impressive collection, Nancy decided to create her own online consignment store, with clothes from her personal closet and those of special friends made along her journey, but with an innovative twist by featuring the first-ever adaptable design resale shop.

The Vault by Volpe Beringer, which is filled with luxury designer resale clothing and accessories, caters to people with or without a disability. The online shop features a unique drop-down menu of adaptive options available. The site also offers a virtual consultation upon request to ensure that the client’s unique needs are met. Nancy feels it is imperative that all of these services will be offered at no additional costs.

The Vault by Volpe Beringer represents the new lifestyle calling for sustainability. We believe that clothes and accessories can be immortal if it is loved, used, and preserved properly. Our brand’s mission is to help alter the fashion industry by promoting more inclusivity and adaptable design while continuing to be a sustainable marketplace for everyone by adding pre-owned luxury items to their wardrobes. Volpe Beringer vows to keep the integrity and look of the original design while offering customizable features to make the garment more accessible.
