The eponymous Lesley Evers store’s proprietor in Oakland has a recreational vehicle and sells some clothing similar to those worn by the iconic character.
Paradoxically, though, the clothing and items in Evers’ College Avenue store in Oakland’s Rockridge district have nothing to do with the Barbie-crazed all-things-pink movement sweeping the nation now that Hollywood director Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” film is showing now in movie theaters. Or perhaps that’s overstating the case, because Evers’ decision in 2008 to found her dress company was the result of a spark lit by Barbie clothing.
“I remember the detail and the little hangers. It was the first time I was wowed by clothing. They were outrageous, with trim. They were kooky and special, and she made at least a dozen pieces. Who does that? “It took five years to find it, and I’ve had it for five years. I just fell in love with it. The Palm Beach was so advanced for its time. It has a vacuum installed right in the wall. You just plug in the tube and can clean the whole RV. It has a wet bath that’s fiberglass, and the sofa back flips out and turns into a bunk bed that suspends from the ceiling.
What’s not wacky are the little repairs the engine often needs, but for that, Evers counts on the fix-anything skills of her husband.
