Today we're chatting with Gabriella and Janelle — the co-founders of Isle of Monday, the first on-demand rental platform for women's luxury vintage archival clothing. Gabriella is the sourcing powerhouse behind the brand, while Janelle leads marketing and growth — and I'm so excited for you to hear how two friends turned a shared love of vintage into a platform that's redefining how women access designer archival fashion.

Gabriella's path to vintage started young — she's been collecting and reselling, all while working as a model from age 16, which put her in close contact with stylists and sparked her obsession with archival pieces. Janelle came at vintage from a different angle entirely, falling in love with vintage furniture and interior design. The two met at a pop-up at Canal Street Market, where Janelle spotted Gabriella's collection and the rest was history!

After running future pop-ups together and getting certain requests from their customers over and over, they saw the gap rental could fill. They officially became business partners in January 2024, building out a rental platform with bespoke logistics, cleaning, and a proprietary pricing model built specifically for one-of-one archival pieces.

Isle of Monday launched into beta on December 1st of 2025 and officially opened to the public on May 18th — and the growth since has been staggering, from under 2,000 followers pre-launch to nearly 50,000 today, with pieces recently worn by Keke Palmer, Doechii, and Ashley Graham, among others.

On today's episode, we get into all of it — their now-famous Roberto Cavalli dress that went viral on TikTok before they'd even launched, what it's really like fundraising as two female founders in the still-misunderstood fashion tech industry, and why they believe archival vintage is becoming an investment-grade asset class in its own right.

Let's dive right in!

Pre-Loved is back with the second installment of the Resale Report, our monthly segment dedicated to the business of vintage and secondhand — made specifically for the small shop owners, solo sellers, and independent dealers.

Joining me again is Sloane Middleton-Mann, founder of Business of Vintage, the world's only marketing agency specialized for vintage sellers. Sloane brings a rare combination of industry experience and formal business school training — she went back to get her MBA specifically to translate retail and marketing best practices to the one-of-a-kind space of secondhand, and has been helping vintage sellers build smarter businesses ever since.

We start with a debrief on Vintage Store Day, which we covered in our first Resale Report — including the press wins, the local crawls, and the shop owner whose entrepreneurial story landed a full profile in her local paper.

Then we get into the real topic of the day: summer social media strategy. It's flea market and outdoor pop-up season, which means dealers are busier and more exhausted than ever, even as the season hands them some of the richest content of the year. We talk about how to turn that contradiction into your advantage — a repeatable "minimum viable content strategy," what to actually capture at a market without losing your mind, what happens to your account if you go quiet for a real vacation, and how to turn a sourcing trip into a sold-out drop.

Whether you're trying to survive your busiest selling season or just trying to build a more sustainable relationship with your phone, this one's for you.

Let's talk shop!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: * [01:24] A debrief on Vintage Store Day — what happened when shops used the press and social templates from our Vintage Store Day webinar. * [05:00] Setting the scene for summer: pop-up season is the most content-rich time of year, and also the most exhausting * [06:22] Is the "summer slowdown" a self-fulfilling prophecy? Here's a reframe to consider from Holy Thrift. * [09:06] The "minimum viable content strategy": ditching perfectionism for three repeatable post types * [17:37] What actually happens to your account when you take a real break (it's less scary than you think) * [21:28] How much of yourself to share in personal content * [23:47] A hands-full strategy for capturing content at markets * [28:01] Turning a one-time market shopper into a regular customer * [31:42] The latest content trend Sloane's watching * [34:08] Storyboarding a sourcing trip like a movie — more on this in our Pre-Loved episode with handbag seller Fashionica on her Japan sourcing trip * [37:25] Pre-Loved's second annual Secondhand Sellers Income Survey — and what we'll dig into next time

Today we're chatting with Gianna Corvino — the founder of The New York Archive, which has just opened The New York Archive Collective, a brand-new flagship vintage collective in the heart of Chelsea. Gianna is a vintage shoe specialist turned store owner, and I'm so excited for you to hear how she went from playing dress-up in her mom's closet to curating 15 vintage vendors – across the range of the fashion dress up closet – under one roof.

Gianna grew up in New York City, completely enamored with her mother's shoe collection — pink, sparkly heels that felt like the coolest thing in the world to a little girl. That early love of nostalgia, accessories, and on-screen icons from movies like 13 Going on 30 and The Devil Wears Prada eventually became the foundation for The New York Archive, which Gianna started as a portfolio project while applying to fashion school.

Amidst starting the archive, though, her story took a wild turn — after a startup equity deal fell through she felt the push to go all-in on vintage. She landed her first Manhattan Vintage Show spot, started sourcing pieces for celebrity stylists and television shows, and built a devoted online community through sharing radically transparent "building in public" content on social media.

Just one week ago, Gianna opened the doors to The New York Archive Collective — a brick-and-mortar space she built out with her building's handyman, Angel and with help from his son, almost entirely through DIY, donations, and Facebook Marketplace finds.

On today's episode, we get into all of it — why the vintage shoe niche was a space nobody else was filling, the holy grail hunting and sourcing stories – including for pieces worn on the recent Love Story show about Carolyn Besette Kennedy, and what it's like to watch your wildest dream become a physical space you can actually stand in.

Let's dive right in!

Today we're chatting with Kathleen Schaaf — the owner of Meow Vintage, located right in the heart of Retro Row in Long Beach, California. Kathleen is a vintage legend, someone who has been doing it for a long time, and doing it her way, and I'm so excited for you to hear her stories from four decades in the business.

Kathleen grew up thrifting with her mom, raiding her aunt's hand-me-downs in elementary school, and haunting the cheap, treasure-packed shops of downtown Long Beach before anyone was calling it a "vintage scene". She opened Meow Vintage in 1986 — nearly forty years ago — and has been a fixture of vintage ever since.

But Kathleen's story goes so much deeper. She's a dead stock hunter — crisscrossing the country before the internet even existed, cold-calling merchants and slipping into back rooms and dusty attics from New Mexico to Massachusetts, building relationships with dealers and shop owners that have now spanned three generations. And along the way, she built a parallel career outfitting film and television — from Roseanne and Seinfeld all the way to Stranger Things.

On today's episode, we get into all of it, plus what forty years in the business has taught her about people, quality, and the difference between loving vintage and just selling it. All that and more!

Let's dive right in!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [5:05] Kathleen grew up thrifting and accumulated a lot of great vintage.
• [6:22] The "aha" moment where Kathleen realized she could be a vintage dealer — buying an entire rack of deadstock 60s pointy flats
• [9:51] She quickly became a deadstock hunter, criss-crossing the country looking for "new old" stock.
• [13:36] Opening Meow Vintage in 1986 on Retro Row in Long Beach,
• [16:06] Crisscrossing the country before the internet even existed, digging for deadstock.
• [20:36] What the vintage landscape looked like when she opened
• [26:52] She built a parallel career outfitting film and television
• [36:26] How the vintage industry has changed over the years
• [43:41] Reflections on Brimfield — what's changed, what hasn't, and the chaos that's part of it.

Today we're chatting with Lexis Zenobia , a full-time artist and vintage dealer, the owner of Ladies of the Loon — which is doing something really unique – this is a vintage brand that has taken a truly singular path in the resale world, one paved entirely in vintage mohair.

A little background, Lexis grew up in Wisconsin, and came of age in Milwaukee's vintage scene. She launched a fashion photography business at 18, and spent several years on the road in an RV, selling vintage out of the back and collecting pieces across the American West.

But it wasn't until she became the steward of a one-of-a-kind vintage mohair collection that everything changed for Lexis. Today, you're going to hear the story of a find beyond her wildest dreams: thousands of vintage and hand-knit mohair pieces, spanning from the 1920s onward, capes, gowns, skirts, sweaters — including a collection of nearly 200 hand-knit Italian cardigans from the 1950s and 60s. This is a collection so significant, it should be shown in a gallery.

On today's episode, we get into all of it: how a sleepless night and a full moon set this whole thing in motion, why Lexi made the bold decision to sell off her entire existing inventory and go all in on mohair, what makes this textile so special to photograph and to wear, and the pieces — that sold in minutes which she still thinks about. All that and more!

Let's dive right in!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [5:16] Early memories of Lexis vintage shopping with her mom, including an antique store in a rural barn.
• [7:50] Her career in vintage actually started with fashion photography.
• [11:04] She originally became a vintage dealer because she needed to do a big closet cleanout, and it accidentally launched a decade-long career.

• [18:16] How she became the steward of a one-of-a-kind vintage mohair collection, spanning from the 1920s onward.
• [26:35] Why vintage mohair is a special textile, nicknamed "the diamond fiber"
• [29:39] The Italian handknit mohair cardigans
• [31:08] On the decision to wholesale her existing collection and focus singularly on vintage mohair.
• [37:44] Her dream to show the mohair collection in a gallery

Today we're chatting with Rachel Koffsky Parker, Senior Vice President and International Head of Department for Handbags and Accessories at Christie's auction house — one of the most recognized voices in the global luxury handbag market and, an auctioneer herself, having taken handbag sales in New York, London, Geneva, and Hong Kong.

After internships at the Met and the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Rachel found her way to Christie's in 2014, just as handbags were becoming a formalized auctionhouse category. Since, she has helped build the handbag category from the ground up, growing into what is now one of the most strategically important departments in the house — responsible for bringing in 12% of all new Christie's clients and selling in excess of forty million dollars in handbags worldwide last year alone.

Over the last decade plus, she's brought the first single-owner handbag collections to market in both Milan and Paris, set world auction records for Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci, and helped transform the way an entire generation of collectors thinks about handbags — not just as accessories, but as objects with history, rarity, provenance, and serious investment value.

On today's episode, we get into all of it: how she built her expertise by cataloging up to a hundred bags a week, what actually drives value at auction, the record-breaking lots that still give her chills, and why a little wear and patina has gone from a liability to a badge of honor in the eyes of today's collectors. All that and more!

Let's dive right in!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [4:00] Rachel grew up obsessed with Lucky Magazine, loving all things fashion and handbags.
• [6:35] How her love of luxury handbags led to a career in the auction house.

• [12:20] Christie's customers began to understand handbags as an asset class.
• [18:06] What drives pre-sale estimates, and what provenance means in the auction world

Today we're chatting with Brooke of Daisy and Stella Vintage — a collector, seller, and curator who has been living and breathing vintage since 1999, and more recently, became the founder of the Twin Cities True Vintage Show.

Brooke grew up in Wisconsin, where her mom sold antique dolls, and she spent a lot of time in auction houses and antique malls and the vintage shops on State Street in Madison. By college, she had a name for her future vintage shop picked out — Daisy and Stella, but it would be some time before she dove fully into her lifelong dream.

Today, Daisy and Stella is a deeply specialized shop focused on Victorian fashion through the 1930s — the era of leg-of-mutton sleeves, hand-beaded gowns, corset covers, and construction so intricate it would cost thousands to replicate today. Brooke has built a reputation as one of the go-to experts in this niche, sourcing pieces through estate sales, online auctions, and a growing network of collectors and friends who know exactly what she's looking for.

In 2023, she took that expertise and turned it into something bigger: the Twin Cities True Vintage Show, a curated, experience-driven vintage event where everything sold on the floor is 50 years old or older, and shoppers dress in vintage – we've covered the incredible street style in Pre-Loved's newsletter this spring!

On today's episode, we get into all of it: how she found her niche and why narrowing down was the best thing she ever did for her business, and what it takes to build a vintage show that draws buyers and dealers from the coasts — and internationally — to the Midwest for one-of-a-kind finds.

Let's dive right in!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [4:35] Brooke grew up in Wisconsin, where her mom sold antique dolls, and she spent a lot of time in auction houses, antique malls and vintage shops.
• [5:23] The vintage landscape of the late 90s and early 2000s
• [8:58] Starting a vintage shop was a lifelong dream for Brooke – one long in the making.

• [17:23] What's most in demand right now from Victorian through 1930s
• [22:47] Brooke has tried many resale platforms over the years – most recently livestreaming on Whatnot.
• [25:08] Educating customers about pieces that are extremely old and rare.
• [28:00] The piece Brooke had in a bin for 10 years before realizing it was a rare, sought-after French label, Boué Soeurs
• [32:28] Why she started the Twin Cities True Vintage show as a production dedicated to vintage fashion older than 50-years-old.
• [38:50] The "live mannequin" feature at the Twin Cities True Vintage show
• [44:00] What draws buyers and dealers from the coasts and internationally to a Midwest show
• [45:00] The most rare and remarkable pieces on the floor at the April Twin Cities True Vintage Show.

Today we're chatting with Amy Leverton, an LA-based denim trend forecaster, and the author of Denim Dudes, and founder of the Denim Dudes consultancy that has become one of the most trusted voices in the global denim industry.

Amy grew up in the West Country of England — but once a year, Glastonbury Festival arrived like a city descending on her doorstep, and that collision of music, personal style, and creative energy lit something in her early on. She made her way to London College of Fashion and then Kingston University, where a project on Levi's quietly revealed what she was actually built for .

After working as a denim and casualwear designer, she landed at WGSN, the world's largest trend forecasting agency, in 2007. She spent years building out their denim department, traveling to Coachella and Tokyo to photograph street style, chasing cool kids through markets and down city blocks, and connecting the cultural dots that tell brands what's coming before it arrives. She eventually went independent, and Denim Dudes — which began as a street style book published in 2015 — has since grown into a full consultancy with all the major denim clients you can think of: Levi's, Wrangler, Gap, Guess, Old Navy – you name it.

Denim Dudes publishes a seasonal forecast subscription sharing where denim — and the broader culture around it — is headed next. On today's episode, we get into all of it: how vintage styles inform her forecasting, why she thinks the entire fashion industry needs to be paying attention to what's happening in the vintage market, the state of silhouette in an anything-goes era, and the vintage pieces she can't stop thinking about!

Let's dive right in!

This month on Pre-Loved, we're launching something new: the Resale Report, a monthly special podcast segment dedicated to the business of vintage and secondhand — made specifically for the small shop owners, solo sellers, and independent dealers.

Joining me is Sloan Middleton-Mann, founder of Business of Vintage, the world's only marketing agency specialized for vintage sellers. Sloan brings a rare combination of industry experience and formal business school training — she went back to get her MBA specifically to translate retail and marketing best practices to the one-of-a-kind space of secondhand, and has been helping vintage sellers build smarter businesses ever since.

In our first conversation, we dig into the momentum behind Vintage Store Day — this year on May 16! — the retail holiday founded by Lost Girls Vintage and Rare Form in Chicago, now in its second year with over 1,100 shops participating.

We discuss marketing a special event like this one: how to think about social media in a way that actually makes sense for a small vintage business, and what to do after a great event to turn new foot traffic into loyal regulars.

Whether you're planning something for May 16th or just trying to build a more sustainable business around the thing you love, this one's for you.

Let's talk shop.

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: * WEBINAR: Vintage Store Day: Social Media & Press Strategy That Works * [6:10] The resale market is growing four times faster than traditional retail — what that means for independent sellers right now * [7:35] How social media has made vintage shopping more exciting and more challenging at the same time * [10:53] How to make Vintage Store Day a special day, beyond any other Saturday your open your store. * [13:13] How to market a special event beyond the flyer * [16:55] 46% of resale shoppers now start their secondhand shopping discovery on social media — and what it means for how you think about your content * [23:29] Storytelling ideas for Vintage Store Day and other special events * [27:15] What to do after the event, and how to turn one great day into lasting momentum * [34:13] Why authenticity is what's actually working on social media right now * [37:08] How shops can use Vintage Store Day to land local press

Thanks for listening to Pre-Loved! You can find me across the internet on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn! 💛 - Emily

Today, we're chatting with Nica, the founder behind FashioNica — a live-streamed marketplace for curated pre-loved designer handbags, jewelry, and watches that has built one of the most devoted communities in the luxury resale space.

Every Thursday at 7 p.m. Pacific, Nica drops a new collection, but the real magic happens in the thirty minutes before that, when she goes live on Instagram to show off what she found that week — it's basically a FaceTime call with a few thousand of your most handbag-obsessed girlfriends to see what Nica found this week. Each drop, her bags routinely sell out in under two minutes.

Nica grew up thrifting, scanning the racks at Goodwill and Salvation Army for the trends she'd clock at Forever 21, where she worked after school. She developed a sharp eye early — and, as it turned out, an even sharper instinct for which pieces were worth holding onto. A Nordstrom employee discount and a Chloé backpack were her gateway into designer pieces. After that, there was no going back — though she's never really considered buying new when pre-loved exists.

What started as a passion project filmed on an iPhone, with bags laid out all over her apartment, has grown into a full operation with a team, a warehouse, international sourcing trips, and a major pop-up event — FashioNica Fest — that drew hundreds of community members to a studio full of bags she'd personally sourced in Japan.

On today's episode, we get into all of it — how Nica sources the pieces that end up in your cart, the art of the Thursday night drop, and why she believes a bag with a little wear is always going to be more interesting than one that's never left the store.

Let's dive right in!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

Today, we're chatting with Maddy Brannon, a DC-based creator and stand-up comic who has become one of the most trusted and entertaining voices in the estate sale world. Maddy visits somewhere between three and five estate sales a week, and sometimes she even works with local estate sale companies to preview the sale before the doors open. Then she puts out a weekly roundup telling her followers exactly which sales are worth getting out of bed for.

If you've ever walked past a house with a lawn full of strangers and wondered what on earth was happening inside, Maddy is the person who will not only explain it to you — she'll have you driving there by the weekend.

She got into estate sales when she bought her first house and couldn't work out how anyone her age could afford to fill one with actual furniture— not with furniture from a dorm room clearance. A chance visit to an estate sale in Dupont Circle sorted that out for her – the house had five floors, original hardwood, and barely a thing touched. She was hooked, and estate sales turned into a full-blown obsession.

She began sharing what she found on social media, and it turns out she wasn't alone in feeling like estate sales were something of a mystery. People started stopping her in the wild, asking how to find sales, how to navigate them, and how she always seemed to know which ones were worth the trip. So she started sharing!

Maddy's not a vintage dealer— she's just someone who genuinely loves the experience of estate sales, walking into a stranger's home and discovering the life lived inside it. DC, it turns out, is an extraordinary place for this and Maddy has visited the estate sales of State Department employees who've furnished embassies around the world to Smithsonian staffers with artifact-adjacent bookshelves.

On today's episode, we get into all of it – how to navigate estate sales without making a rookie mistake, the etiquette around negotiating, what's popular right now on the estate sale circuit — and why pricing in this space is, as Maddy puts it, an extremely "hot topic."

Let's dive right in.

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [1:27] How Maddy Brannon — DC stand-up comic – became an estate sale obsessive.
• [6:08] Why D.C. has a particularly great estate sale scene.
• [8:12] Maddy has visited the estate sales of State Department employees and Smithsonian staffers.
• [14:29] Why Maddy started making videos about the estate sale experience.
• [18:28] Why estate sale content is so compelling on social media
• [22:15] How Maddy vets which sales are worth going to
• [25:42] Estate sales are not necessarily intuitive – here's how to avoid rookie mistakes!
• [29:19] Why the last hour before closing is the best time to shop
• [35:24] What's popular right now on the estate sale circuit
• [38:17] The etiquette around negotiating

Today, we're chatting with Cathy Moscardini, Depop's Head of Sustainability. Listeners of this show, you of course know Depope – it's one of the most culturally influential resale platforms in the world. Founded in 2011 with a mission to make fashion circular, the community-powered marketplace has grown to 56 million registered users, with over 136 million items given a second life through its platform.

Part vintage marketplace, part social community, as well as being a launchpad for many young entrepreneurs, Depop has helped reshape what it means to shop, sell, and style yourself in the digital age.

Cathy's path here was anything but linear. A languages graduate who spent time in Chinese factories and volunteering in Nicaragua, she saw firsthand the vast distance between where fashion is made and where its consequences are felt. That experience lit a fire that took her into sustainability strategy eventually at Depop, where she's been focused on one of the most important questions in the circular economy: is resale actually reducing consumption, or just reshaping it?

During her time at Depop, Cathy has led the work of quantifying and communicating the real impact of resale — which has included developing industry-aligned methodologies in partnership with organizations like WRAP as well as other resale platforms, and proving with data that buying secondhand is not just a trend, but a meaningful lever for changing fashion's environmental footprint. She's also the person making sure that sustainability isn't siloed in one corner of Depop's business, but woven into every product decision, every marketing campaign, and every feature designed to make it easier and more exciting to choose pre-loved.

Those tapped into the universe of Pre-Loved will be aware that last month eBay has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Depop from Etsy, who purchased Depop in 2021, for approximately a $1.2 billion cash deal – we've covered this news as it unfolded. At this time, there's not much more to add, because while eBay and Etsy's Board of Directors unanimously approved the deal, it will not close until the second quarter of this year, subject to closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Instead, on today's episode, we talk about what it actually takes to shift consumer behavior at scale, why emotional connection to our clothing is in fact a sustainability strategy, and what the data really says about whether secondhand shopping is displacing new production. We also get into the culture of resale — how it's moved from the margins to the mainstream — and what Cathy believes needs to happen next to truly make fashion circular.

Let's dive right in.

Today, we're sitting down with two of the many people behind one of New York City's most beloved thrift institutions — Housing Works.

Housing Works is a mission-based organization born from the AIDS crisis, fighting for inclusive care, social justice, and an end to homelessness and the AIDS epidemic. Their thrift shops — nine locations across New York City, plus a bookstore café and online ecommerce shop — aren't just places to find incredible secondhand treasures. They're also the engine that funds life-saving services for New Yorkers, rooted in the belief that housing is healthcare.

Daniel Rodriguez has been with Housing Works for nearly two decades. As Director of Operations, he has helped shape the organization's thrift enterprise, and oversees its operation from the shop floors to the annual events to the online auction site, developing the way Housing Works prices, merchandises, and tells the story of the pieces that come through its doors.

Emily McKay is the Processing & Curation Manager which means she leads the Housing Works Processing and Distribution Center out in Long Island City — the behind-the-scenes warehouse hub where the majority of the organizations donations are sorted, curated, and transformed into the beautiful collections that stock the many city shops and headline the annual events. A former luxury consignment boutique owner who has earned her master's in fashion management at Parsons since her last time on this show, Emily brings a rare blend of expertise to the work of curating collections at scale.

On today's episode, we get to explore the magic of what it actually takes to run a thrift enterprise of this size — the stories that come through the donation bags, the philosophy behind their curation, the unique role Housing Works plays in the iconic NYC vintage scene, and the annual 'Best of Spring' event that's happening right now across Housing Works locations.

This one is for all of us who've ever believed that a great piece deserves another chapter.

Let's dive right in.

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [5:15] Daniel has been a part of the vintage and secondhand scene in New York since the late 90s — shopping at iconic spots like Screaming Mimi's, Cheap Jacks, Andy's Cheapies, Starstruck, and Rags-A-Go-Go.
• [8:25] He started at Housing Works as a manager of several of the thrift stores, eventually becoming senior merchandising manager and developing the organization's pricing philosophy and visual merchandising.
• [12:15] How Housing Works has grown since it was founded in response to the AIDS crisis — from a carriage house on 18th Street in 1992 to nine shops, a bookstore café, annual events, and an online shop.
• [17:00] How the resale boom changed how Housing Works approaches donations and sales strategy.
• [20:00] Emily McKaydescribes what it's like to walk into the PDC — the Processing and Distribution Center in Long Island City — and what her team does every day.
• [24:30] What it's like to curate donations at scale — developing material knowledge, sorting by gut instinct, and routing pieces to the right stores and events.
• [30:17] What shoppers can expect at Best of Spring this month.
• [36:20] Some of the most unique and historically significant collections that have come through Housing Works — including a Patti Smith art auction, an Andy Cohen Clubhouse event.
• [37:40] Emily reflects on how universally adored Housing Works is in New York City
• [42:30] Daniel and Emily share their personal favorite Housing Works finds.

Today, we're chatting with Dana Andrews — the creator and maker behind Sunworn Vintage, an upcycled clothing and accessory brand, built on the art of reuse and reimagination.

Dana grew up on the Central Coast of California in Santa Maria where she fell in love with fashion early, raiding her older sisters' closets and getting voted best dressed in high school. She learned to sew in a clothing and fashion elective she took all four years of high school, and she loved it so much she'd stay in the classroom through lunch just to keep working.

Always creative with a couple of side hustles, Dana found her way back to sewing amidst the pandemic. She bought a pre-loved sewing machine of KSL, and Sunworn Vintage was born.

Now, it's her full-time dream job. She creates one-of-a-kind pieces from vintage and thrifted textiles, offers custom orders, runs monthly website restocks, and has stepped into something she never expected: designing digital sewing patterns so others can make their own Sunworn creations at home.

Her first pattern was for a bag made entirely from neckties —and we get into the whole story on today's show. This one is truly for the makers, the thrifters, and everyone who's ever looked at a pile of men's ties at Goodwill and thought — wait, what if? And keep your eyes peeled, because Sunworn's next pattern is coming very soon – sneak peek on today's show.

Let's dive in!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [5:57] How Dana got into thrifting as a teen.
• [9:26] Her love of estates sales — and why she'd go even if she found nothing
• [11:25] Learning to sew in high school
• [18:27] How Dana found her way back to sewing amidst the pandemic when she bought a secondhand sewing machine.
• [22:24] The early days of the upcycling business, and how it has changed in the last six years.
• [27:35] She never expected to be designing digital sewing patterns for others to create at home.
• [29:28] The thrift store inspired the idea of the Tie Bag
• [37:48] The response to the Tie Bag pattern — and how passive income changed her business

Today, we're chatting with Margy McCarthy, a 29-year-old who did something most of us only dream about — she walked away from a corporate career to take over her grandmother's 57-year-old resale business, Elite Repeat.

Grandma, Betty started Elite Repeat in 1969 in the Chicago suburbs as a consignment business. For over 50 years, she ran her shop with no website, no social media – just word of mouth, a gift for connection, and an eye for craftsmanship and quality in vintage pieces. All these years later, the regulars who came in with their moms are now coming in with their daughters.

Our guest today, Margy, grew up with a front row seat to all of it — doing her homework on a vintage sofa in the consignment room, watching her grandmother and learning early that the real business wasn't the clothes. It was the relationships.

On today's show, she'll share how she found her way back to Elite Repeat, as the pull of the business became impossible to ignore.

In 2024, she sat down with her grandmother, who is now 92, and made it official. Since then, she's built Elite Repeat's first ever website, grown their audience on TikTok and Instagram, and attracted consignors flying in from the East Coast after finding Elite Repeat through her videos.

Margy shares the story of how Betty built Elite Repeat from a single gown to a destination for St. John knits and vintage furs, and – speaking of – we'll get into the craft of vintage fur: how to choose it, how to care for it, and why Margy thinks the renewed interest comes with a real responsibility. And we talk about what it means to carry forward something your grandmother built, brick by brick, for nearly six decades.

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [4:41] After leaving competitive diving, Margy found her interest in fashion rising.
• [5:06] Margy's early memories of being at Elite Repeat with her grandma.
• [6:47] How Betty started Elite Repeat in 1969, and grew the business entirely through word of mouth
• [10:48] How secondhand shopping has shifted over the decades
• [16:02] Taking the leap to leave her corporate job and take over Elite Repeat
• [17:24] What Betty taught Margy about running the business
• [19:22] The relationships at the heart of Elite Repeat
• [23:24] Expanding Elite Repeat's reach beyond the local community.
• [26:31] Facing the challenges of taking over — like building the website, learning photography, and navigating people and emotions.
• [29:10] St. John knits are one of the shop's specialties.
• [31:16] Elite Repeat has always specialized in vintage furs, and the responsibility behind recirculating vintage furs
• [34:46] How to pick out an investment vintage fur coat — what to look for
• [36:04] How to take care of a vintage fur coat.
• [41:43] Margy's personal style philosophy includes tailoring, and dressing with intention
• [44:37] Special pieces and memorable finds.

Today, we're chatting with Monica and Scotti, a mother-daughter team behind CS80 Vintage who are rediscovering the 80s in a way neither of them expected.

Monica, who once worked in sporting goods and later built a career in photography and organizing – helping people deal with large-scale hoards and inventories, stumbled into a massive vintage collection during the pandemic. When the original owner, Franz, passed after years of illness, the inventory — tucked into basements, an attic, gazebos, and storage pods — just sat. Nobody knew what to do with it.

Her daughter, Scotti, now 23, grew up thrifting and has always loved vintage – now she's helping mom preserve an incredible archive of true 1980s deadstock sportswear.

Neither Monica or Scotti set out to be vintage dealers. They've learned from conversations with experts and mentors and midnight eBay searches, like we all do.

They have uncovered what turns out to be — by the account of multiple experts — one of the largest deadstock vintage sportswear collections ever found: 10,000 pairs of sneakers, thousands of hats, blanks, jerseys, satin jackets, and more. Every single piece true deadstock, never worn, straight from the warehouse.

On today's show, they'll share how they did it. All the sales strategies, collaborations and pop-ups. Scotty came home, built a website from scratch, launched their Instagram in December, and within two weeks had gained 28,000 followers. How their drops sell out reaching collectors from Paris to Japan. A pair of boxing shoes sold to a film produced by Sylvester Stallone. Their clothes filled the set of a Target x Stranger Things commercial.

But more than any of that, this is a story about honoring Franz's life work, about a mother and daughter collaboration, and about what it means to be the unexpected stewards of something rare. It's a really really good one — let's dive in.

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [5:57] How Monica and Scotti came into the largest deadstock vintage sportswear collections known to exist.
• [12:21] How they started to discover the value of this collection.
• [14:14] A mentor warned Monica she could "destroy the vintage market" — and the responsibility to sell slowly.
• [15:12] Their first major sale was a buyer from Japan at the Alameda Flea Market — the moment Monica and her husband realized what they really had.
• [19:00] Scotti came home, launched a website for CS80 and started Instagram sales.
• [21:49] How pricing works differently depending on geography, buyer, and context — and why the story behind CS80 commands higher prices than comparable pieces.
• [24:07] Honoring Franz's life work and what it means to be the unexpected stewards of something so rare.
• [30:32] Most surprising finds and holy grail collector moments
• [33:56] What they've learned about vintage labels and how a single label difference can change value by hundreds of dollars.
• [39:53] What happens when CS80 sells the last deadstock piece?
• [47:43] Favorite personal pieces they've kept, and what comes next.

On today's show, we're chatting with Sue Poole, the founder of At Source Vintage. Sue's love for fashion started young – she remembers many bold fashion moments from her teens – wearing a turquoise pencil skirt with rainbow leggings, buying her first designer piece, shopping the charity shops in London.

In 2020, Sue made a decision that changed everything: she stopped buying new clothes completely. What started as participating in Oxfam's Secondhand September challenge – where she committed to only wearing the secondhand pieces already in her wardrobe – turned into a permanent lifestyle shift. Four years later, she hasn't bought a single new item.

This commitment didn't just change how Sue shops – it revolutionized her entire relationship with fashion. She went from following trends and scrolling through brand algorithms to becoming a vintage expert who tracks down 1970s YSL toweling caftans, collects Celine blouses, and once scored an '80s Hermès velour lounge suit on eBay for £18. In 2022, she launched her own curated vintage business, At Source Vintage, and since Sue's been featured in British Vogue, she showcases at London vintage fairs, and her Instagram is a masterclass in styling vintage pieces in ways that make them feel completely contemporary.

We talk about the styling challenge that started it all for her, and how secondhand shopping is actually about right-sizing our relationship with clothing – finding your style through vintage, breaking free from consumption cycles, and proving that you don't need to buy new clothes to dress incredibly well. It's a fun one, so let's dive right in!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [3:27] Sue's always been a fashion-lover, and shares her early style memories.
• [6:38] Her earliest secondhand experiences and London's vintage scene
• [9:46] Why she took Oxfam's Secondhand September Challenge in 2020.

On today's show, we're chatting with Hannah Englehart, a vintage dealer in Minneapolis at Olio Vintage, and the creator and designer of a new upcycled clothing line, Soft Jaws, which she just launched.

Hannah's journey into vintage started with thrifting with her grandma in Ohio, and hunting for treasures in Amish country antique stores. After working at Plato's Closet as a teen, and selling vintage on Depop part-time for three years while grinding through corporate jobs, Hannah took a leap– she saved up six months of living expenses and moved to Minneapolis to sell vintage full-time.

Within 72 hours of arriving in town, she was set up at the Minneapolis Vintage Market, meeting the community that would become her creative collaborators and her vintage people.

Now she's part of the Olio Vintage collective, where she's found the stability and support to expand into styling and design. She worked as wardrobe stylist on indie films, and – after teaching herself to sew on YouTube – she's just launched Soft Jaws – a clothing line featuring reversible tie-front blouses made from vintage linens and reclaimed textiles.

We talk about the collective model that allows vintage dealers to support each other, her holy grail finds, and why she's auctioning a rare Bonnie Cashin bag to support Immigrant Law Center Minnesota. This conversation is all about finding your people, building community, and creating something meaningful, and I think you'll really enjoy it – so let's dive right in!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [5:01] Thrifting with her grandma in middle school in the suburbs of Ohio.
• [7:53] Working at Plato's Closet as a teenager
• [10:07] When Hannah knew she wanted to work in vintage, styling for her friend's photography projects validated that path
• [12:31] Meeting the founders of Olio Vintage at a local market and becoming one of their first guest vendors
• [13:47] Why Hannah is a big believer in the vintage collective model and how transparency benefits everyone
• [15:23] How she knew it was the right time to dive into selling vintage full-time after squirreling away six months of living expenses
• [19:05] What makes the Minneapolis vintage scene so special
• [22:02] How Minneapolis vintage dealers are responding to the ICE occupation
• [25:22] Burning out in her second year of selling full-time and how she restructured her time to make space for styling and design
• [28:34] Teaching herself to sew on YouTube and spending a year perfecting her first pattern for Soft Jaws

On today's show, we're chatting with Tacee Webb, the original founder of Red Light Vintage in Seattle – a store she first opened in her early 20s in 1996 and is now buying back from its current owners 30 years later! Full circle story! Red Light has been a Seattle institution since the grunge era, known for its eclectic mix of vintage finds from the 1930s through the 1990s, its vibrant community spirit, and oh yes – its legendary naked shopping sprees.

In this episode, Tacee takes us on a journey that starts on a tiny island near the Canadian border, where she grew up surrounded by her family's belongings dating back to the 1860s – from her Native American grandmother's furniture to Victorian dresses in the old log cabin. She shares how selling rusty anchors and clay pinch pots on the beach as a kid planted the seeds for a career in retail, and how an encounter with a glamorous vintage dealer in her teens changed everything for her.

We dive into the wild days of Red Light in the '90s – when MTV was filming there, Courtney Love was tearing through the store, and Tacee became one of the biggest sneaker resellers in the business – at the time she was featured in the Wall Street Journal, Vogue, NPR, People, CNN, and tons of magazines in Japan.

"We would get 100 voice mails a day – people calling me to sell their sneakers from all over the country, it was WILD!" Tacee wrote me.

She shares stories about styling Alice in Chains for Rolling Stone, hosting bands like Modest Mouse in the store's cafe, and why she old Red Light in 1999, the bittersweet reality of watching Seattle boom and price out the creative class.

Late last year, when she saw the Vanishing Seattle post announcing the original store's potential closure, she knew she wanted it back. Now, partnering with her daughter – who's been part of the Red Light story since she was a baby – Tacee is bringing back the beloved traditions while reimagining vintage retail for a new generation.

It's a conversation spanning decades of vintage fashion history from someone who's lived it all. This episode is SUCH a fun one, so let's dive right in!

What I love about Hilliary's approach is that she's building a vintage-filled life through relationships and community – she's built connections with vendors at markets like Brimfield who remember her, save pieces for her, and have become genuine friends.

On today's show, we're chatting with Janelle Abbott, the artist and designer behind JRAT. Raised in her parents' Seattle clothing factory, Janelle grew up with an early respect for the labor that goes into making clothing.

After graduating from Parsons, she rejected corporate fashion, choosing a radically sustainable, zero-waste path.

In this conversation, we're diving into Janelle's journey from growing up surrounded by sewing machines to her own craft in zero-waste design. We'll talk about how her design education shaped her view of the fashion industry, her creative process for sourcing and transforming discarded textiles, and what it really means to practice zero-waste pattern making.

Plus, Janelle shares stories about her favorite finds, and why she wants people to be in love with clothes that already exist.

On today’s show, we’re chatting with Lureena Thompson, a comedian, actor and artist in Los Angeles, who opened the Cheerio Collective in Highland Park this spring. It’s a vintage store by day – utilizing a curated “rent-a-rack” collective concept, and a live event space by night – and Lureena self-admits she’s doing SO MUCH, and that you should stop by to tell her in-person to stop and drink some water.

This is a really honest and authentic chat about what it takes to bring a store and event venue to life.

Creating it was a labor of love, that underscored Lureena’s commitment to using sustainable practices and recycled materials in her business.

The creation of the mosaic floor created a significant buzz, both within the Highland Park neighborhood, and online. The documentation of the entire renovation captivated a wide audience and amassed millions of social media views that created a huge anticipation for Cheerio to open.

On today's show, we're chatting with Julia O'Mara, the co-founder of Pickle, the peer-to-peer fashion rental marketplace. Pickle's goal is making it easier and more affordable to rent high-quality clothing within communities – on today's episode, Julia will tell you about how she was working in business and product engineering when she had this idea: a gap in the fashion market.

And it led her to build Pickle, a first-of-its kind platform, which – in less than a year – has boomed onto the scene, recirculating 100,000 items, top lenders paying their NYC rent with their Pickle earnings! – and the company raising over 12 million in Series A funding. In Manhattan alone, 1 in 4 females aged 18-35 have used Pickle.

But Pickle had scrappy beginnings, Julia literally ran around NYC doing photoshoots with micro-influencers to get the first closets uploaded.

And, in this episode, you'll hear about the entrepreneurial hustle of this fashion tech founder to watch, and the cultural impact Pickle is having on how young women think about clothing consumption. I think you're gonna love it, so – let's dive right in!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [10:39] When Julia knew it was the right time for her career to go the entrepreneurial route.
• [12:47] The insight that led to Pickle’s biggest pivot, in spring 2022.
• [14:42] Pickle’s big differentiator is that it’s a peer-to-peer rental marketplace, similar to Uber and AirBnb within the sharing economy.
• [17:44] When you’re building this kind of marketplace, you have to figure out how to attract both lenders and renters.
• [25:24] How Pickle works as a side hustle for your closet.
• [35:11] Insights from Pickle’s Series A fundraising round, where they raised $12 million and were called the AirBnb of fashion.

On today’s show, we’re chatting with Anne and Nashalae. Anne Whiting is an upcycled fashion designer, sustainable fashion activist, and writer. She is also a longtime volunteer and mentor for young people with Free Arts NYC, an organization that provides arts programming for youth – including arts internship placements. Through Free Arts NYC and her upcycled brand, Anne James New York, Anne has worked with several high school and college-aged interns teaching them about the pillars of sustainable fashion and upcycling. She loves helping her interns create their own capsule collections using NYC secondhand shops like Goodwill and BigReuse as their source materials.

So, she reached out to do an episode with one of her former interns, Nashalae Martin, and suggested we could chat about how Gen-Z and the next generations learn about sustainable fashion.

On today’s show, we’re chatting with Meagan Svendsen, a Vintage Coach Bag Restorer & Collector. Meagan learned the love of vintage hunting and restoration from her mom who taught her every technique in the book.

On this episode, we dive into the rich history of the Coach brand, including some background on Bonnie Cashin, the bags she designed, and the legacy that still holds today.

Today’s episode is with Madelyn of Black Rabbit Vintage, based out of Benton Park in St. Louis. Madelyn has long been a vintage lover – she loves restoring old things to their former glory and passing on stories associated with vintage garments.

She says she’s been sewing for as long as she was allowed to touch a machine, and since high school she knew she wanted to own her own space – maybe vintage, maybe vinyl, maybe old books? But now, 15 years later she does it all! We hear her whole story with opening Black Rabbit Vintage on today’s show.

Tragically, in late June, around when we filmed this, Madelyn learned that Sk8 Libourious, an indoor skate park and community center in North City was on fire – the destruction of this space was devastating in its own right, but it was also where Madelyn stored a large amount of Black Rabbit Vintage’s back store. Luckily, her storage room did not fully burn in the fire and she was able to get a majority of my things out of the building, but it has been a long restoration and recovery journey.

A journey which we talk about on today’s show – I also want to flag that there is a GoFundMe page for Black Rabbit’s recovery efforts linked in the shownotes, if you’re inclined to help out another vintage-lover.

All this and more in today’s episode, so let’s just dive right in!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [7:19] Madelyn grew up with a love of old things and church basement rummage sales, and we discuss her journey to owning a vintage store.
• [12:51] Taking part in pop-ups and markets across St. Louis.

Today’s episode is with Jaclyn, Goldberg, the founder of Jac’s Gold based in Brooklyn New York. Jaclyn was born into the fashion industry – her father owned 13 clothing stores and fashion was always a large part of her life. She’s been collecting vintage since she was a teengager, and worked in the garment industry in production for 18 years.

During the pandemic, she started classes in sustainability at FIT while she was furloughed, and also started selling tie-dyed vintage t-shirts on her Instagram. In the end, she decided not to go back to production work – turning to vintage clothing full time, which we discuss on the show.

These days you can find her at the Brooklyn Flea every weekend, as well as shows like Manhattan Vintage. She says her favorite part of vintage is digging for the gold – sifting through so many garments to find special treasure, and the smile on a customers face when they find a special piece they love. That’s golden.

All this and more in today’s episode, so let’s just dive right in!

Today’s episode is with Rosie Carroll, founder for Nifty – a consignment clothing store and flea market in Christchurch, New Zealand. Rosie first started Nifty in 2018 when she was looking for a place to sell curated pre-loved clothing. It was a time when fast fashion giants were popping up around the city, and she wanted to sell pre-loved clothing in an effort to combat the fast fashion culture that was gaining popularity around her.

The flea market has been hosting second hand clothing sellers and local makers ever since.

After four years of running the markets regularly, and bouncing around different venues in the city, she felt it was time to leave her full-time office job to open a brick and mortar space.

Last October she leased a space, convinced the owner of the building to paint it bubblegum pink, and is now proud to call the big pink building a destination for vintage clothing lovers, running a consignment clothing store as well as the flea markets out of the big pink building.

And we get to hear the whole story on today’s show, so let’s just dive right in!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [3:20] Growing up in New Zealand, Rosie would get to go to her local op shops to pick out an outfit when she had a mufti day at school.
• [5:43] How the small business community was impacted, and rebounded, from the Christchurch earthquake.
• [8:46] Rosie started hosting her own flea markets back in 2018, after identifying a need she could fill in the local community.
• [20:48] Tips for sellers who are doing their first market this summer.
• [23:18] Getting clear about wanting to open her own permanent venue and store.
• [27:14] The transition into having a full-time permanent store.
• [30:03] How to make good decisions on what to consign.
• [36:24] Her love of 90s style and vintage Levi’s.

Today’s episode is with Denise Wingate, the costume designer behind Daisy Jones & the Six! If you haven’t seen it yet – run don’t walk, the costuming is fabulous – Daisy Jones & the Six is about the rise and fall of a fictional 1970s rock band, based on the novel, written in rock documentary style, by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

A Los Angeles native, Denise began her career designing costumes and touring with none other than The Bangles, before segueing into television costuming. Throughout her career, she’s always prioritized working with vintage – and because of her true love for vintage fashion and music history, it’s really clear that this project was an ultimate dream role for her.

We talk about all this, and the incredible vintage looks in Daisy Jones & the Six, on today’s show – let’s just dive right in!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [3:09] Denise moved to Hollywood at 16 and grew up attending new wave shows.
• [4:28] Denise goes on a world tour with the Bangles, working as their stylist.
• [8:51] Costume design is about developing a character through clothing, and Denise’s process for Daisy Jones & the Six.
• [13:57] The inspiration for young Daisy Jones was a young Joni Mitchell, young Linda Ronstadt – and then she morphed into Janis Joplin and Stevie Nicks when she becomes a rock star.
• [14:40] The inspiration for Camila Dunne was a young Ali MacGraw, and then she grows into Bianca Jagger in her rockstar wife era.
• [14:50] Suki Waterhouse’s character, cool-girl keyboardist Karen, was inspired by Patti Smith, Joan Jett, and Suzie Quatro.
• [15:52] Staying true to fashion moments mentioned in the book, like Daisy’s first recording session outfit, or the beaded kaftan she wears in the pool.
• [18:45] Denise estimates she had to pull about 1,500 looks for this show!
• [20:15] Her sourcing process for finding special vintage pieces for the show.
• [23:40] Daisy Jones’ coat collection – that choice for the character, and Denise’s favorites, including this one that she sourced in Paris.
• [26:11] Camilla’s transformation into Bianca Jagger would not be complete without this leopard print dress from Pickwick Vintage Market.
• [28:32] Denise found a patchwork leather jacket from Gandalf the Wizard in Long Beach, which she used for Graham Dunne.
• [30:27] Denise found a North Beach leather whipstitch white suit that Karen wore for the Aurora cover shoot.
• [31:44] A lot of the jewelry on the show originally belonged to Denise’s grandparents, including Daisy’s squash blossom necklaces.
• [32:45] In the 70s, rockstars would have been wearing vintage from the 30s, 40s, and older, so Denise used those kinds of pieces in the show, too.
• [35:27] Daisy Jones’ on-stage persona, and how they used costuming to bring that out.
• [36:50] The final on-stage look for Daisy Jones was a gold vintage Halston dress that they turned into a cape, and a 1930s crochet metallic dress underneath.
• [44:55] The beauty and creativity in re-use.
• [49:17] Shopping estate sales with her son, also a vintage shopper, in New Orleans.

Today’s show is a special one because it’s a LIVE episode from a panel I did in New York a couple of weeks ago.

As many of you know, or will come to learn through this discussion, for far to long American garment workers have faced unsafe working conditions, wage theft, and piecework pay, which often prioritizes fast fashion over worker safety.

The proposed federal FABRIC Act, introduces groundbreaking new workplace protections and manufacturing incentives to cement the US as the global leader in responsible apparel production.

This policy would protect nearly 100,000 American garment workers and revitalize the garment industry in the United States by improving working conditions, reforming the piece-rate pay scale and investing in domestic apparel production.

Together, by championing the FABRIC Act, we are reweaving the very fabric of the future US garment industry. On this week’s episode, I talk with three other sustainable fashion changemakers about how they’re advocating for progress in the fashion industry through the FABRIC Act.

Let’s just dive right in!

DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE:

• [8:07] What were the lightbulb moments that turned our panelists into fashion changemakers?
• [20:45] Why living wages are essential to sustainable fashion.
• [27:30] How to think about cost and accessibility in the sustainable fashion conversation.

Today’s show is with Danielle Vermeer, recently the co-founder & CEO of a startup called Teleport, and you may also know her online as Goodwill Hunting – which is the name of her newsletter about resale and secondhand fashion.

An avid thrifter of 20+ years, Danielle has long been interested in the impact she could make at the intersections of fashion, tech, and sustainability. She recently took a leap from leading resale & circular fashion at Amazon to join Teleport as Co-founder & CEO. Teleport is an early stage startup where users post no-filter videos of their shoppable, thrifted outfits. Think if TikTok and Depop had a baby.

We chat about Danille’s story with secondhand, how she hasn’t purchased any new clothes for over 11 years, what she’s learned working to bring circular fashion to scale, and how we’re moving into a new era of resale. Plus so much more!

• [38:17] How we educate younger consumers about choosing quality fashion and the role of personal style, when all they have known is fast fashion.
• [44:39] Prediction for this year: clothing swaps will be in and fashion hauls will be out!

In this episode, I’m chatting with Matt Smith, founder of D. Matt Smith vintage & archive. Matt’s love of vintage started in his eastern Kentucky hometown and he was inspired to pursue a degree in apparel merchandising.

Today, he splits his time between his archive, and curating the Newburgh Vintage Emporium, which is a vintage and antiques collective that he owns with his partner. Since taking over the Newburgh Vintage Emporium in 2019, he’s worked to turn it into a destination in the Hudson Valley and greater New York area – an achievement which was recently recognized by the New York Times!

Pre-Loved Podcast: Manhattan Vintage Show

This episode takes place at the Manhattan Vintage Show, New York’s most iconic vintage show showcasing 90+ vintage dealers – some of the best in the world.

We’re starting off this episode chatting with the show’s current owners, Amy Abrams and Ronen Glimer — for more about their story, check out the Pre-Loved Podcast episode I did with Amy earlier this year, upon the announcement that the duo was taking over ownership and production of the Manhattan Vintage Show.

We share a little bit about what you can expect at the show, and a little insight into the new strategic direction they envision for Manhattan Vintage. After we chat, then we head into the show to talk with some vintage dealers – who shared with me their stories in vintage fashion, what’s hot and happening in vintage right now – check out the article I wrote for Refinery29 on this subject – and special stories behind some of their favorite pieces they brought to the show.

Let’s dive right in!

Pre-Loved Podcast is a weekly interview show about rad vintage style with guests you’ll want to go thrifting with. Find the show at @emilymstochl on Instagram and @PreLovedPod on Twitter.

Pre-Loved Podcast: Rosella Vintage & Minneapolis Vintage

Jahna Peloquin is a Minneapolis-based style writer, stylist and style expert with a passion for local fashion, community, sustainability, the arts, and all things vintage. Her writing and styling has been published in Minneapolis Star Tribune, Mpls.St.Paul Magazine and Midwest Home, and she served as the Style Editor of Minnesota Monthly and the Fashion Director of Rosedale Center. Building on 15 years in the local fashion community as a stylist and fashion reporter, Jahna co-founded Fashion Week MN in 2015 as a vehicle to support the local fashion community.

Most recently, she founded her own vintage fashion brand, Rosella Vintage,and is a regular vendor at the Minneapolis Vintage Market, and at other pop-ups around the Twin Cities area.

Coming soon – late September — you’ll be able to find Rosella Vintage at a collective vintage shop called Olio Vintage, so you’ll have more opportunities to shop in-person! She’s also planning to launch her own website around this time.

In this episode, we talk about the Minneapolis fashion scene she grew up in, being a part of local fashion shows, working as a fashion writer, the start of her vintage shop, and her favorite style moments!

When I chat with her, it really brings to light the importance of community in creating a great local vintage scene, and I think that leads us in to the secondhand half of our show really well! For the second half of the show, we’re headed to a Minneapolis Vintage Market event. Now, the market rotates through the Twin Cities every month (super cool!) but this particular market was actually at the Triple-A baseball stadium, home of the St. Paul Saints, a Minneapolis Twins affiliate!

This was such a fun environment for a vintage market, and I had an absolute blast strolling around with my concessions and a beer chatting with the local Minneapolis vintage vendors.

Let’s head in and hear their stories!
