Cairo is not for shoppers who want to rummage through lots of racks and shelves. The thoughtful selection of vintage clothing and wares at this little gem in a quieter corner of Capitol Hill invites one to relax and reminisce instead. Among the treasures, you’ll find jewelry from local designers that match the clothing; vintage-inspired silk-screened shirts by local artists; and maybe a poster for one of Cairo’s next parties, often held in the store. What’s old is made fresh again with sophistication, youthful energy, and a sharp eye that knows that some things never go out of style. 507 E. Mercer St., templeofcairo.com
