Our story
Built for the woman who has somewhere to be.
Nine to Wine started with a closet full of beautiful pieces and a question: why is it so hard to find quality workwear that doesn't cost a fortune — or end up in a landfill?
How it started
Nine to Wine was born in Akron, Ohio, out of a very specific frustration. The founder — a working woman with a love of a well-cut blazer and a deep suspicion of fast fashion — kept watching great pieces cycle in and out of her wardrobe with nowhere good to go.
She'd spent years building a professional wardrobe the right way: investing in quality, buying secondhand when she could, and donating what she no longer needed. But the resale market for professional women's clothing felt either too generic or too precious. Nothing felt like it was made for her.
So she built it herself. Nine to Wine is a curated resale boutique for professional women — the kind of shop where you can find a silk blouse that actually fits, a blazer that means business, and a cocktail dress that earns its place in your rotation.
What we believe
Fashion that works as hard as you do.
Sustainability over speed
Every piece we sell is one less piece in a landfill. We believe the most sustainable garment is the one that already exists.
Quality, always
We curate every submission. If it wouldn't earn a second look in a boardroom or at a bar cart, it doesn't make the cut.
Community first
Nine to Wine is a community of women who dress with intention. We donate to women in Akron who are building their professional wardrobes from scratch.
A little attitude
Getting dressed should be fun. We take quality seriously. We don't take ourselves too seriously.
