On today's show, we're chatting with Meg Barnes, the founder of Eclectic Inventory. Meg is a New York-based interior designer turned vintage dealer, who started an Etsy shop in 2012. Her side-hustle has grown and evolved – Eclectic Inventory has just opened a new studio space in Williamsburg!
On this episode we talk about how Meg's interior design background shaped her expert eye for quality and character in everything from vintage Coach bags to rare timepieces. You'll hear about her fascinating entry into the watch world (including the story behind that vintage watch choker I'm often wearing!), her experience shopping at Betsey Johnson's actual yard sale, and how she transformed her side hustle into a thriving vintage business.
Meg offers thoughtful insights on vintage market trends, reveals which designer bags are currently surging in popularity, and shares her philosophy on creating beautiful moments in everyday life through special household objects.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or casual thrifter, you'll be inspired by Meg's passion for giving timeless pieces new life. It's a really fun one and I think you're gonna love it – let's dive right in!
