Our Story

Surrender Dorothy is a haven for endangered glamour, dreamed into being by lifelong best friends Arabella Aldrich, Leah Hennessey and Ruby McCollister. The store was created as a space for artists, designers, costumers, performers and poets to metamorphose; a place to show up black and white and walk out in technicolor. 

Arabella, Ruby and Leah have been collaborating since high school on films and theater in New York. Arabella is a costume designer and stylist, Ruby is an actress, comedian and producer and Leah is a filmmaker and musician. 

Surrender Dorothy specializes in antique costumes, theatrical new designers, niche perfumes and gorgeous little things.
