Today's show is a collective episode about the Brooklyn Flea, which re-opens for the season this weekend (April 1-2!). Founded 15 years ago, in April 2008 by Jonathan Butler and Eric Demby, Brooklyn Flea has grown into one of New York City's top attractions, operating flea markets that feature hundreds of top vendors of furniture, vintage clothing, collectibles and antiques.
First up, you'll hear from co-founder Eric Demby, and then later on in the episode, three incredible vintage dealers who have been with the flea since its early days.
We'll speak with Francois of Of Leisure who was a fashion photographer for 10 years before he started selling French and American vintage at the Brooklyn Flea in 2013.
Then we'll chat with Travis, the owner of The Hood Haberdasher, who grew up between Brooklyn, Miami and Jamaica, and started his full time vintage passion about 15 years ago - bringing "statements, not staples"home to Brooklyn to the Flea.
And finally we speak to Thea Grant, about the family first jewelry business she and her husband Nico started in Brooklyn, and their extensive range of vintage, antique and handmade jewelry.
It was such a joy to hear from them what being a part of the Brooklyn Flea all these years has meant to them – so let's just dive right in!

Today's show is with Carley Lake, the co-founder of Lucky Sweater. Carely first discovered thrifting when her dad introduced her to the stores on Melrose Ave. in LA, back when she was at the peak of her fast fashion addiction in high school. On this episode, we'll chat through Carley's whole journey that led to Lucky Sweater – how she started a sustainable fashion site called Thoughtful Flamingo, and her experience on the groundfloor at Uber where she co-launched Uber's women safety program and Community Guidelines.
But what led Carley to the Lucky Sweater idea? She missed finding community through clothing! Lucky Sweater is a community app that allows users to connect and trade clothing with like-minded communities. Lucky Sweater's first community trading space was focused on slow and sustainable fashion brands, and the team recently launched a community for makers to trade handmade clothing, accessories, and supplies.
We chat about all this and more on today's episode, so let's just dive right in!

Today's show is with Kati, the founder of Dresscue, a rent-a-rack secondhand store in Los Angeles. Kati is originally from Finland, where the rent-a-rack concept is from – and you get to hear all about its origins on today's show.
Rent-a-rack basically means that anyone can rent a rack from Dresscue and sell their preloved clothing. This rent-a-rack concept is something Kati grew up with and as she knew it was a great way to recycle the clothes you don't wear anymore whilst making some extra money.
So chat about how she decided to bring the concept to Los Angeles, and all sorts of secondhand seller advice, so let's just dive right in!

Today's show is with Danielle Vermeer, recently the co-founder & CEO of a startup called Teleport, and you may also know her online as Goodwill Hunting – which is the name of her newsletter about resale and secondhand fashion.
An avid thrifter of 20+ years, Danielle has long been interested in the impact she could make at the intersections of fashion, tech, and sustainability. She recently took a leap from leading resale & circular fashion at Amazon to join Teleport as Co-founder & CEO. Teleport is an early stage startup where users post no-filter videos of their shoppable, thrifted outfits. Think if TikTok and Depop had a baby.
We chat about Danille's story with secondhand, how she hasn't purchased any new clothes for over 11 years, what she's learned working to bring circular fashion to scale, and how we're moving into a new era of resale. Plus so much more!
This episode is full of insights about the secondhand space, so let's just dive right in!
