Conversations In a Vintage Shop

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1871738/open_sms] I'M BURNED THE F$%& OUT! When I opened my vintage shop back in 2018 I knew that it was going to be a long and tiring road to get my shop to where I wanted it to go. Flash forward to 2024 my shop has changed, but the way I interact with it hasn't. In today's episode, I'll talk about my struggle with burnout after working 6-7 days a week for 5 years, in my vintage shop. The feeling of shame when you have to admit to yourself that you CAN'T do it all and need to step back. This is a mental health issue that faces so many people across all walks of life and industries! Listen in to find out what I've done to help preserve my sanity and my business!

In today's episode, I'll be delving into one of the biggest confusions surrounding my vintage shop: "Are you a thrift store or a vintage store?" What does it mean to be a "vintage store" or a "thrift store"? What's the difference between vintage and thrift, but more importantly, why does it matter? Let's dig in!

To get to this market you had to hunt for the inventory, buy supplies and possibly even travel to be a vendor. Now imagine a celebrity in the music and fashion world comes to this market to find "inspiration" for their next collection. This would be a very exciting thing for any seller to have a celebrity with fashion influence shop your booth! What if that celebrity went into your booth, studied, photographed, analyzed a garment you're selling for a half hour to 45 minutes? What if in that time someone would've bought it, but didn't because this celebrity has a hold on it? What if that celebrity then put the items back and left without purchasing anything from your booth, but obtained valuable resources from you for free? In today's episode, we'll chat about how for some vendors, in London, this became a reality.
