Julia, let's start with you. Can 34 00:01:56,545 --> 00:01:58,745 Speaker 1: you describe your style in three words? 35 00:01:59,145 --> 00:01:59,345 Speaker 2: Yeah? 36 00:01:59,425 --> 00:02:03,745 Speaker 3: So I would think I'm pretty classic, timeless, but I 37 00:02:03,865 --> 00:02:07,065 Speaker 3: like to have a little bit of edge with my accessories. 38 00:02:07,385 --> 00:02:09,265 Speaker 2: I copy Materia a lot, to be honest. 39 00:02:09,665 --> 00:02:12,225 Speaker 3: You know, I'm the older sister, so whatever she's doing 40 00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:13,425 Speaker 3: I try to do. 41 00:02:13,625 --> 00:02:15,825 Speaker 1: You're the older, so you're trying to be younger and cooler. 42 00:02:16,105 --> 00:02:19,305 Speaker 3: It'd be cooler, but then you know, I always go 43 00:02:19,345 --> 00:02:21,185 Speaker 3: back to being pretty classic in time. 44 00:02:21,385 --> 00:02:24,185 Speaker 1: Okay, Julia, what's your vibe? What are your three words. 45 00:02:24,425 --> 00:02:27,305 Speaker 4: We dress quite similar.

Materia has a 115 00:05:14,185 --> 00:05:18,185 Speaker 3: great contact and then it just really through organically and 116 00:05:18,265 --> 00:05:21,145 Speaker 3: now we're shipping all over Australia. We've got a website. 117 00:05:21,385 --> 00:05:24,225 Speaker 3: We just are moving. We've been in the same spot 118 00:05:24,265 --> 00:05:27,825 Speaker 3: for four years. We're moving into a house in Wrapdown Village, 119 00:05:27,825 --> 00:05:29,865 Speaker 3: so the whole home will be love and longer. 120 00:05:30,545 --> 00:05:30,785 Speaker 2: Yeah. 121 00:05:30,825 --> 00:05:33,585 Speaker 4: And it's kind of branded as the House of Circular Fashions, 122 00:05:33,665 --> 00:05:37,745 Speaker 4: so it's just growingly, really organically and quickly, and we 123 00:05:37,905 --> 00:05:39,185 Speaker 4: really we're happy. 124 00:05:39,465 --> 00:05:39,665 Speaker 2: Yeah. 125 00:05:40,345 --> 00:05:42,825 Speaker 1: And so circular fashion was definitely having a moment then, 126 00:05:42,905 --> 00:05:45,185 Speaker 1: but I can imagine in the last four years you 127 00:05:45,225 --> 00:05:47,705 Speaker 1: would have seen it just explode. Can you talk me 128 00:05:47,745 --> 00:05:49,145 Speaker 1: through that and why you think that is? 129 00:05:49,985 --> 00:05:52,865 Speaker 4: I think when we started, like you said, Lee, no 130 00:05:52,945 --> 00:05:56,545 Speaker 4: one was really doing it. I think the whole circular 131 00:05:56,585 --> 00:06:00,785 Speaker 4: fashion and buying pre Loved has evolved and changed. I remember, 132 00:06:01,225 --> 00:06:03,985 Speaker 4: let's say six years ago, no one was really buying 133 00:06:04,065 --> 00:06:05,585 Speaker 4: pre loved, or if you did, it was a bit 134 00:06:05,625 --> 00:06:08,785 Speaker 4: of a secret. Yeah, But now it's almost celebrated and 135 00:06:08,825 --> 00:06:11,505 Speaker 4: it's almost cool to bar prey Loves and have that 136 00:06:11,585 --> 00:06:13,825 Speaker 4: item that no one else has. And I think it's 137 00:06:13,865 --> 00:06:16,985 Speaker 4: also about the whole sustainability and people are more educated. 138 00:06:17,105 --> 00:06:20,225 Speaker 4: But we work with a young students from the National 139 00:06:20,225 --> 00:06:22,825 Speaker 4: Fashion College, from the National Fashion College, and one of 140 00:06:22,825 --> 00:06:27,105 Speaker 4: their whole curriculums is about sustainability. So everyone's just more 141 00:06:27,225 --> 00:06:29,345 Speaker 4: educated on it, and everyone's. 142 00:06:28,785 --> 00:06:33,545 Speaker 3: Selling not just about the money everyone selves, it's about 143 00:06:33,585 --> 00:06:37,545 Speaker 3: the environment. It's about not feeling guilty buying more. It's 144 00:06:37,585 --> 00:06:40,825 Speaker 3: just changed change. 145 00:06:40,985 --> 00:06:43,145 Speaker 1: I agree, you guys got in it exactly the right time. 146 00:06:43,665 --> 00:06:45,825 Speaker 1: Regular nothing to our listeners. Know how much I love 147 00:06:45,865 --> 00:06:48,705 Speaker 1: secondhand shopping, And that's a really broad term. I guess 148 00:06:48,745 --> 00:06:50,465 Speaker 1: you know. It can be thrifting in your vinis and 149 00:06:50,505 --> 00:06:53,025 Speaker 1: your charity shops, and it can be high end luxury 150 00:06:53,025 --> 00:06:55,465 Speaker 1: and more where you guys sit. But then there's still 151 00:06:55,545 --> 00:06:58,545 Speaker 1: some people that aren't keen on it, maybe have sort 152 00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:00,625 Speaker 1: of an older view of what it was back in 153 00:07:00,665 --> 00:07:04,185 Speaker 1: the day, you know, like a stinky eighties blouse, or 154 00:07:04,225 --> 00:07:06,225 Speaker 1: they just don't know how to find the good stuff. 155 00:07:06,305 --> 00:07:09,105 Speaker 1: So how do we help these people get into all 156 00:07:09,225 --> 00:07:10,905 Speaker 1: spectrum of p love shopping? 157 00:07:11,025 --> 00:07:13,185 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, like you said, it is so broad 158 00:07:13,265 --> 00:07:16,185 Speaker 4: and it can sometimes be overwhelming, but there is like 159 00:07:16,265 --> 00:07:19,625 Speaker 4: our space is more curated, right, So everyone of hard. 160 00:07:19,385 --> 00:07:22,705 Speaker 3: Work for the shoppers.

Try it on, see if it's working, see 213 00:09:46,825 --> 00:09:49,145 Speaker 3: if it really looks good. Don't get so caught. 214 00:09:48,985 --> 00:09:52,465 Speaker 2: Up in the thrill in the thrill of it. And 215 00:09:52,585 --> 00:09:53,745 Speaker 2: I make that mistake too. 216 00:09:53,785 --> 00:09:55,665 Speaker 1: Sometimes I do too, because it's a one off, so 217 00:09:55,705 --> 00:09:59,065 Speaker 1: you're not seeing sixteen of the same thing, and you 218 00:09:59,065 --> 00:10:01,065 Speaker 1: can go and think about it and come back next week. 219 00:10:01,105 --> 00:10:03,345 Speaker 1: Because it's a one off, it's hard not to get 220 00:10:03,385 --> 00:10:07,305 Speaker 1: that impulse and it is exciting, so you think, definitely, 221 00:10:07,345 --> 00:10:09,665 Speaker 1: always try everything on, because that's the part I can't 222 00:10:09,705 --> 00:10:10,265 Speaker 1: be bothered with. 223 00:10:10,825 --> 00:10:12,305 Speaker 2: I think, yes, try it on. 224 00:10:12,545 --> 00:10:16,265 Speaker 4: I know sometimes at pre love stores like Savers or 225 00:10:16,305 --> 00:10:19,385 Speaker 4: Goodbyes or you might feel intimidated to try things on 226 00:10:19,425 --> 00:10:22,985 Speaker 4: because they're hectic. Some of these pre love experiences, it's 227 00:10:23,025 --> 00:10:27,385 Speaker 4: like a nightclub. But stop breathe by in that space. 228 00:10:27,585 --> 00:10:31,025 Speaker 4: Put on those Levi jeans, make sure they fit. I 229 00:10:31,065 --> 00:10:34,105 Speaker 4: know we spoke about bedding the garment, making sure it's 230 00:10:34,145 --> 00:10:36,985 Speaker 4: good quality, whatever, but sometimes you'll find a pair of 231 00:10:37,025 --> 00:10:39,825 Speaker 4: jeans that may be missing a butt in or maybe 232 00:10:39,865 --> 00:10:40,905 Speaker 4: a little bit stained. 233 00:10:41,225 --> 00:10:44,425 Speaker 2: Don't get too put off because how many garments Julia, 234 00:10:44,625 --> 00:10:47,065 Speaker 2: we mound and we've washed. 235 00:10:46,865 --> 00:10:49,265 Speaker 4: Or were taken to moms or my non news and 236 00:10:49,465 --> 00:10:51,225 Speaker 4: they're fixed and they're amazing. 237 00:10:51,585 --> 00:10:54,545 Speaker 2: So yeah, just be a bit flexible, but take your time. 238 00:10:54,625 --> 00:10:56,145 Speaker 1: That is such a good point. Yeah, if you love 239 00:10:56,145 --> 00:10:58,705 Speaker 1: it enough and you think it's fixable, just really assess it. 240 00:10:58,945 --> 00:11:02,105 Speaker 1: What about taking a friend because producer Grace, who's sitting 241 00:11:02,145 --> 00:11:03,945 Speaker 1: in the booth there, I took her on her first 242 00:11:04,105 --> 00:11:06,825 Speaker 1: thrifting experience and she was very overwhelmed. I love seeing 243 00:11:06,825 --> 00:11:09,225 Speaker 1: that she still wears the stuff we got a year later. 244 00:11:09,305 --> 00:11:11,385 Speaker 1: So you take a friend who is good at the 245 00:11:11,425 --> 00:11:12,425 Speaker 1: secondhand stuff. 246 00:11:12,705 --> 00:11:15,025 Speaker 3: I mean, listen, I don't like shopping with friends, to 247 00:11:15,065 --> 00:11:17,545 Speaker 3: be honest. That's me having said that. I still call 248 00:11:17,585 --> 00:11:20,985 Speaker 3: my mum and I'm forty two. Is the fact I'm 249 00:11:21,025 --> 00:11:21,865 Speaker 3: shocking like that. 250 00:11:22,505 --> 00:11:24,745 Speaker 4: I think, yes, but it can be a bit competitive, 251 00:11:25,025 --> 00:11:27,425 Speaker 4: Like honestly, sometimes when I go throughty with a. 252 00:11:27,385 --> 00:11:30,945 Speaker 2: Friend, I might move out of my way. I can 253 00:11:30,985 --> 00:11:32,705 Speaker 2: see that piece and I want it. 254 00:11:32,785 --> 00:11:35,305 Speaker 4: So I mean, each to their own, but yes, if 255 00:11:35,305 --> 00:11:38,065 Speaker 4: you feel like you're not confident in that space, definitely 256 00:11:38,145 --> 00:11:40,145 Speaker 4: take a friend or you know your sister who I 257 00:11:40,145 --> 00:11:42,305 Speaker 4: would bring and get bad advice but. 258 00:11:42,425 --> 00:11:43,865 Speaker 2: No, there's only one item. 259 00:11:44,185 --> 00:11:45,865 Speaker 4: So if it's your day, it's your day, and you've 260 00:11:45,905 --> 00:11:47,785 Speaker 4: got to get to that rap the fastest. 261 00:11:48,105 --> 00:11:50,145 Speaker 1: That is such a good unique point. It's not like 262 00:11:50,225 --> 00:11:52,585 Speaker 1: strolling Westfields where if you both really love it and 263 00:11:52,665 --> 00:11:54,465 Speaker 1: decide to wear it at separate times, you can both 264 00:11:54,465 --> 00:11:56,145 Speaker 1: get it. I've never thought of that. Maybe I won't 265 00:11:56,145 --> 00:11:58,985 Speaker 1: take anyone ever again.

I was going to say the one 357 00:15:41,025 --> 00:15:43,345 Speaker 1: joy of Lockdown is that I feel like we all 358 00:15:43,345 --> 00:15:46,305 Speaker 1: fell in love with flats, and then designs and styles 359 00:15:46,665 --> 00:15:49,505 Speaker 1: became more chic and varied in flats. But yeah, you're right, 360 00:15:49,505 --> 00:15:51,305 Speaker 1: if you've got a fabulous pair of heels, it's only 361 00:15:51,305 --> 00:15:53,665 Speaker 1: if I'm going to black Tye Ball really that I'd 362 00:15:53,665 --> 00:15:54,385 Speaker 1: wear a high heel. 363 00:15:54,625 --> 00:15:58,905 Speaker 2: And you know what else, Small sizes, yes, don't sell well, 364 00:15:59,065 --> 00:16:02,865 Speaker 2: they don't bigger because even if you are small, you 365 00:16:03,025 --> 00:16:06,785 Speaker 2: like oversized generally. So yeah, no one's buying. 366 00:16:06,705 --> 00:16:12,665 Speaker 4: Four sixes, even eights, like our most popular sizes fourteen. 367 00:16:12,585 --> 00:16:14,865 Speaker 1: Which is fantastic to hear because so often, you know, 368 00:16:14,865 --> 00:16:16,585 Speaker 1: we did a thrifting episode a little while ago, and 369 00:16:16,665 --> 00:16:18,225 Speaker 1: so many people said, oh, but you know, I'm not 370 00:16:18,265 --> 00:16:21,585 Speaker 1: straight sized, and I think it's again maybe a misconception 371 00:16:21,985 --> 00:16:24,065 Speaker 1: or that you do have to go digging with secondhand, 372 00:16:24,065 --> 00:16:26,745 Speaker 1: but there is other sizes out there.

You wore 417 00:18:23,665 --> 00:18:26,545 Speaker 1: Drobe Staples you ten percent, So how can we elevate 418 00:18:26,625 --> 00:18:29,345 Speaker 1: a simple outfit with preloved? 419 00:18:29,465 --> 00:18:33,265 Speaker 4: So I've kind of moved away from design and designer handbags. 420 00:18:33,305 --> 00:18:34,865 Speaker 4: I don't know how everyone's going to feel about me 421 00:18:34,985 --> 00:18:37,785 Speaker 4: saying this, but I was inspired in Japan. It's all 422 00:18:37,785 --> 00:18:41,145 Speaker 4: about like a fluffy bag or something really unique, and 423 00:18:41,185 --> 00:18:42,985 Speaker 4: we've kind of carried that on it Love it Longer. 424 00:18:43,105 --> 00:18:46,385 Speaker 4: So we've actually got a really amazing accessories that are unusual. 425 00:18:46,865 --> 00:18:50,145 Speaker 4: So I think to elevate a boring outfit, as you say, 426 00:18:50,545 --> 00:18:52,785 Speaker 4: I always say a handbag, And like I mentioned, it 427 00:18:52,825 --> 00:18:56,585 Speaker 4: doesn't need to be Chanelle, Bitchi Prada. You can come 428 00:18:56,585 --> 00:18:59,825 Speaker 4: in at a mid price point and buy something really original, 429 00:18:59,905 --> 00:19:03,345 Speaker 4: like a fluffy bag. Yeah, definitely. We also have Ana 430 00:19:03,425 --> 00:19:06,225 Speaker 4: Rossy jewelry at Love a Longer. She's a friend of mine. 431 00:19:06,225 --> 00:19:09,025 Speaker 3: She actually we work together at Scalampidor and she gives 432 00:19:09,105 --> 00:19:13,145 Speaker 3: us her piece and that just elevates any outfit. Bright earrings, 433 00:19:13,265 --> 00:19:16,345 Speaker 3: beautiful necklace. And also we have great shoes. We have great, 434 00:19:16,505 --> 00:19:20,065 Speaker 3: unique shoes. That always elevates an outfit. I think if 435 00:19:20,105 --> 00:19:23,785 Speaker 3: you've got a good blow wave of red lipstick, nice 436 00:19:24,185 --> 00:19:25,385 Speaker 3: shoes and it. 437 00:19:25,505 --> 00:19:28,305 Speaker 2: Suck back to the red listsses, I think you look good. 438 00:19:29,345 --> 00:19:31,145 Speaker 1: It's so true about the shoe as well, though, because 439 00:19:31,185 --> 00:19:33,305 Speaker 1: often I'm quite classic. I'm a denim a white shirt, 440 00:19:33,305 --> 00:19:34,825 Speaker 1: as I am today, and then I'll do the wrong 441 00:19:34,865 --> 00:19:37,305 Speaker 1: shoe theory, or I'll just do an interesting shoe. And 442 00:19:37,385 --> 00:19:40,665 Speaker 1: my most interesting shoes have all been secondhand because otherwise 443 00:19:41,185 --> 00:19:43,865 Speaker 1: they're very same same in the stores, which is good 444 00:19:43,865 --> 00:19:46,265 Speaker 1: for function sometimes. But you get a really cool pair 445 00:19:46,425 --> 00:19:49,945 Speaker 1: of secondhand shoes and everyone asks about them. They're a 446 00:19:49,945 --> 00:19:52,185 Speaker 1: bit quirky and it makes the whole outfit look like 447 00:19:52,225 --> 00:20:06,865 Speaker 1: you thought about it more than you did. It's very expensive, 448 00:20:07,705 --> 00:20:15,625 Speaker 1: how wonder, Let's do bougie and budget so they can 449 00:20:15,665 --> 00:20:18,585 Speaker 1: be new things.

No, that's good, only one outfit. 467 00:21:02,465 --> 00:21:03,025 Speaker 2: What else? 468 00:21:03,625 --> 00:21:07,305 Speaker 4: Okay, so bougie again.

It took me like a year to 471 00:21:13,385 --> 00:21:15,825 Speaker 4: style them because I thought they were too feminine for me, 472 00:21:16,265 --> 00:21:17,105 Speaker 4: but they're actually not. 473 00:21:17,305 --> 00:21:18,905 Speaker 2: So I've been wearing them back with. 474 00:21:19,025 --> 00:21:23,105 Speaker 4: Just like Levi jeans again, a basic T shirt, I 475 00:21:23,185 --> 00:21:25,265 Speaker 4: go to Unigo, which is budget. 476 00:21:25,345 --> 00:21:27,745 Speaker 2: That's a good tip.

I just feel like, I don't know, my 485 00:21:45,825 --> 00:21:49,345 Speaker 4: Chanelle slingbacks inspired me.
