Today’s show is with Tammy and Kay, founders of Assassin Vintage in St. Louis. They met over 12 years ago while working for Anthropologie, and became fast friends over a shared love of vintage clothing and music. 

Eventually, the duo decided to start a vintage business together, which began as an Etsy shop and doing local markets. They opened their brick-and-mortar shop on Cherokee Street in November of 2021, and now they do vintage markets all over the country including: Threadbare Show, Brimfield, The Sturbridge Show, Manhattan Vintage Show, and Randolph Street Market to name just a few.

We chat about all this and more on today’s show! It’s a really fun one, so  let’s just dive right in!
