The Art of Bringing Clothes Back to Life

Host: Maggie Blaha

Theme music: "Thanks for the Memory" written by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger, performed by Bob Hope and Shirley Ross in the 1938 film of the same name 

In Brooklyn, most people don't have yards—but they do have stoops, so you'll often see stoop sales being hosted around the city. For Jess Master, stoop sales act as a physical storefront for her vintage clothing business, Miss Master's Closet. And she hosts them right outside her apartment in Bedford-Stuyvesant. 

Maggie talks to Jess about the ups and downs of selling vintage clothes online, and why it's so hard to manage a brick-and-mortar store in New York City.
