Ready to Wear: a Vintage Fashion Podcast with Rebekka Laurel

Join me today (for a long one!) as Gwendolyn and I discuss the ethics of reselling and much more! We cover how resellers operate at estate sales, the hoarding of vintage clothes (where does it all go?), the importance of community in the vintage scene and why these conversations are increasingly more crucial as time goes on.

During my first Fireside Chat I meet with Victoria, a twenty something vintage collector who casually sells and knows A LOT about the vintage community. Join us as we discuss poor customer service and seller to customer interactions, "holy grail" items and price gouging, gatekeeping in the vintage community, and how the scene has changed dramatically in the past five years. We also discuss how some resellers are requesting specific items for their collections to sell, almost like "thrift store fashion shows". It's going to be a fun one!

Welcome, friends. I am so excited to announce the very first episode of Other People's Things! In this episode, I give an overview of why I am here, who I am and what I aim to dissect/discuss in the course of this podcast. My sister and I discuss our childhood, where we spent most of our free time at the thrift stores, and how it has led me to loving vintage and becoming an expert in my own right. I also discuss social media and how it brought me to be so passionate about reseller/flipper culture and the exploration of its many manifestations. Thank you for joining us.
