Danielle Verrilli is a firecracker in human form. And after 12 years of bringing her seemingly endless energy and passion to Audrey Road on Bailey Avenue, she has built herself a community within the community. Whether it’s due to her ever-changing inventory of lively and unique fashions, or the kind atmosphere she has cultivated, her loyal client base keeps coming back for more.
“Someone is always coming in to shop here first,” she says. “I know everybody has to go to the mall and they have to go to Amazon for certain things - that’s part of life - but to know that they try here first - that really means a lot.” Her philosophy has everything to do with how people feel, with the experience just as important as finding the right piece for the right person. Bubbly and enthusiastic, Verrilli describes herself as "Hurricane Danielle" when working with clients.
She says, “As long as I make people feel good when they’re here, and give them a good product that they can afford, they can keep coming back.” And the result? They do.
Audrey Road began 12 years ago in just one room stocked with vintage wares. “I’m bringing back the vintage,” Verrilli tells us. In one room of the store, customers will find everything from vintage high-end fashion labels to t-shirts, handbags, and jewelry.
