13
00:00:48,354 --> 00:00:50,673
Speaker 1: joined by Tara Rowe, who has come all the way

14
00:00:50,714 --> 00:00:54,154
Speaker 1: from South Australia. Her business, Call Me the Breeze, went

15
00:00:54,154 --> 00:00:56,474
Speaker 1: through a pretty big pivot a couple of years ago

16
00:00:56,554 --> 00:00:59,634
Speaker 1: and it has paid off. From a regular fashion boutique,

17
00:00:59,674 --> 00:01:02,554
Speaker 1: she pivoted to vintage. So I'm going to ask Tara

18
00:01:02,714 --> 00:01:06,594
Speaker 1: all about what even is vintage? Is vintage and secondhand

19
00:01:06,594 --> 00:01:09,514
Speaker 1: the same thing? Is there a definition? And there is?

20
00:01:09,594 --> 00:01:12,674
Speaker 1: And it might surprise you how to start shopping and

21
00:01:12,714 --> 00:01:15,394
Speaker 1: looking at vintage If you find it overwhelming and the

22
00:01:15,434 --> 00:01:18,914
Speaker 1: most incredible story that got her started. I'm so jealous.

23
00:01:19,154 --> 00:01:22,354
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. Tarah, welcome to the show, and

24
00:01:22,674 --> 00:01:25,234
Speaker 1: thank you for traveling from South Australia.

25
00:01:25,474 --> 00:01:28,594
Speaker 3: I was just saying, any excuse, love my children, But

26
00:01:28,994 --> 00:01:31,834
Speaker 3: to get on a plane and have no one talked

27
00:01:31,834 --> 00:01:33,673
Speaker 3: to me for the whole day because it was two

28
00:01:33,674 --> 00:01:35,754
Speaker 3: flights is just such a luxury.

29
00:01:36,154 --> 00:01:38,114
Speaker 1: I would fly just around in the sky just to

30
00:01:38,114 --> 00:01:41,754
Speaker 1: be by myself. Before we get into the most exciting topic,

31
00:01:41,794 --> 00:01:44,834
Speaker 1: that's very topical right now, Vintage is having a moment.

32
00:01:44,874 --> 00:01:47,234
Speaker 1: I mean it always has been, more than ever. I

33
00:01:47,274 --> 00:01:49,994
Speaker 1: mean to ask you some questions. Can you describe your

34
00:01:50,034 --> 00:01:51,634
Speaker 1: own style in three words?

35
00:01:51,834 --> 00:01:57,514
Speaker 3: Boyish, baggy, and a fun but generally I dressed like

36
00:01:57,514 --> 00:02:00,314
Speaker 3: a little boy most of the time. Yeah, I just

37
00:02:00,754 --> 00:02:04,034
Speaker 3: I mean now, like I mean, I got dressed up today,

38
00:02:04,074 --> 00:02:06,474
Speaker 3: so I'm a little bit more feminine to trust me,

39
00:02:06,514 --> 00:02:08,553
Speaker 3: I look nice and I record and then otherwise I'm

40
00:02:08,594 --> 00:02:11,073
Speaker 3: literally in like ten year old cotton on shorts that

41
00:02:11,114 --> 00:02:11,674
Speaker 3: are my favorite.

42
00:02:11,754 --> 00:02:13,393
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a T shirt. Maybe I'd just like a boy.

43
00:02:13,514 --> 00:02:16,754
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love sort of blending that masculine and feminine. Yeah,

44
00:02:17,074 --> 00:02:20,274
Speaker 3: And I'm just an oversight I love I buy everything oversized.

45
00:02:20,394 --> 00:02:21,954
Speaker 1: I'm a big top, big pant girl.

46
00:02:21,994 --> 00:02:24,234
Speaker 3: Too, But I do love to throw in something a

47
00:02:24,234 --> 00:02:25,913
Speaker 3: little bit fun every now and again, like I'm really

48
00:02:25,914 --> 00:02:28,834
Speaker 3: into at the moment. You know, a fringed top with

49
00:02:28,874 --> 00:02:32,314
Speaker 3: like a baggy blue jean, or a sparkly top okay

50
00:02:32,354 --> 00:02:32,834
Speaker 3: with you?

51
00:02:33,514 --> 00:02:35,274
Speaker 1: Or you know, or a pretty top dish.

52
00:02:35,434 --> 00:02:39,434
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit of an unexpected little teah.

53
00:02:39,914 --> 00:02:42,754
Speaker 1: So the theory that we think kind of applies to

54
00:02:42,754 --> 00:02:45,394
Speaker 1: pretty much everyone. We've got a wardrobe full of clothes,

55
00:02:45,474 --> 00:02:47,034
Speaker 1: might have a lot, might not have a lot, but

56
00:02:47,154 --> 00:02:49,914
Speaker 1: we wear more, you know, a small percentage, about ten

57
00:02:49,954 --> 00:02:51,994
Speaker 1: percent more than the rest. What would be in your

58
00:02:52,034 --> 00:02:52,994
Speaker 1: ten percent then.

59
00:02:52,914 --> 00:02:54,994
Speaker 3: I mean my ten percent is I have a pair

60
00:02:55,034 --> 00:02:58,274
Speaker 3: of Venroy blue denim jeans like and they're just the

61
00:02:58,274 --> 00:02:59,274
Speaker 3: best fit.

62
00:02:59,354 --> 00:03:00,914
Speaker 1: And a pair of added as trackies.

63
00:03:01,074 --> 00:03:04,234
Speaker 3: Yes, love wear them all the time, and then I

64
00:03:04,274 --> 00:03:07,594
Speaker 3: always pair them. I've got a small collection of vintage coats,

65
00:03:07,714 --> 00:03:11,714
Speaker 3: so it's just got a really good trench, a really

66
00:03:11,714 --> 00:03:16,474
Speaker 3: good leather nineties jacket, good basics. They and my go

67
00:03:16,554 --> 00:03:20,073
Speaker 3: to mix and match all the time. Yeah sounds very stylish.

68
00:03:20,274 --> 00:03:25,073
Speaker 1: No, Hey, that's what you're here for so speaking of vintage,

69
00:03:25,154 --> 00:03:28,674
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about. So how did you first

70
00:03:28,754 --> 00:03:31,554
Speaker 1: get interested? How did you fall in love with vintage fashion?

71
00:03:31,674 --> 00:03:35,474
Speaker 3: In my early teens, I always was drawn to antique

72
00:03:35,474 --> 00:03:38,074
Speaker 3: shopping and I always loved fashion as well, but I

73
00:03:38,154 --> 00:03:40,874
Speaker 3: probably didn't sort of fuse the two until more recently.

74
00:03:41,234 --> 00:03:43,874
Speaker 3: But I've just always loved, you know, looking through antique

75
00:03:43,874 --> 00:03:48,434
Speaker 3: stores and that thrill of finding something and discovering things.

76
00:03:48,234 --> 00:03:51,314
Speaker 1: And say, antique or vintage do you mean? Also just

77
00:03:51,354 --> 00:03:55,194
Speaker 1: like you know the country's secondhand store, was it always

78
00:03:55,194 --> 00:03:58,714
Speaker 1: like fancy? And because I think antique means fancy.

79
00:03:58,794 --> 00:04:01,554
Speaker 3: It actually was more fancy. So probably growing up wasn't

80
00:04:01,594 --> 00:04:03,834
Speaker 3: really buying a lot. It was just I just got

81
00:04:03,914 --> 00:04:08,074
Speaker 3: excited about looking really and learning I guess, yeah, kind

82
00:04:08,114 --> 00:04:10,554
Speaker 3: of styles and brands and yeah, that's right. Like I

83
00:04:10,554 --> 00:04:13,714
Speaker 3: didn't really grow up with op shopping and thrifting that

84
00:04:13,834 --> 00:04:16,914
Speaker 3: I've started to learn more about and I've gotten better at.

85
00:04:16,993 --> 00:04:19,153
Speaker 3: I think I always felt like I couldn't find anything.

86
00:04:19,154 --> 00:04:22,514
Speaker 3: I think I just told myself that it's too hard.

87
00:04:23,433 --> 00:04:26,154
Speaker 1: Yeah, as you know, you think your antiques are going

88
00:04:26,193 --> 00:04:28,113
Speaker 1: to be fancy, so it's all whether or not it's

89
00:04:28,154 --> 00:04:30,913
Speaker 1: your taste, but it's all good. Yes, yeah, exactly.

90
00:04:30,953 --> 00:04:33,513
Speaker 3: And I think growing up, the vintage doors that were

91
00:04:33,553 --> 00:04:38,873
Speaker 3: around that time were very overwhelming. You know, there weren't many,

92
00:04:38,953 --> 00:04:40,713
Speaker 3: and they were very overwhelming, Like you would go in

93
00:04:40,753 --> 00:04:43,154
Speaker 3: and had it would have every single era, and so

94
00:04:43,433 --> 00:04:46,194
Speaker 3: I found it really difficult to go in, and I

95
00:04:46,234 --> 00:04:48,193
Speaker 3: would get confused about what I even wanted. You know,

96
00:04:48,633 --> 00:04:50,394
Speaker 3: you would get confused about what your style is. My

97
00:04:50,834 --> 00:04:52,753
Speaker 3: brain would just disappear as soon as I walk.

98
00:04:52,873 --> 00:04:54,354
Speaker 1: So true, and then you leave with all these sparkly

99
00:04:54,393 --> 00:04:56,513
Speaker 1: jumpsuits and you're like, hang on, yeah, that's not what

100
00:04:56,513 --> 00:04:59,274
Speaker 1: I Yeah.

101
00:04:58,633 --> 00:05:03,513
Speaker 3: So I think today it's certainly changed. And yeah, so

102
00:05:03,553 --> 00:05:07,674
Speaker 3: I think we've had this downturn in multi brand retailers,

103
00:05:07,674 --> 00:05:10,474
Speaker 3: which is where I that's what called me the breeze

104
00:05:11,193 --> 00:05:13,753
Speaker 3: was for ten years before I pivoted to vintage. So

105
00:05:15,154 --> 00:05:18,914
Speaker 3: but you know, post COVID things, and you see it everywhere.

106
00:05:18,914 --> 00:05:20,513
Speaker 1: Lots of them are closing down and it's just a

107
00:05:20,513 --> 00:05:23,073
Speaker 1: business model. It's not right. Well much fashion closed. I

108
00:05:23,234 --> 00:05:24,273
Speaker 1: was flabber guy.

109
00:05:24,313 --> 00:05:27,034
Speaker 3: I know it's mind blowing, but I mean, being in it,

110
00:05:27,113 --> 00:05:30,234
Speaker 3: I can see why. Yes, but now in their place

111
00:05:30,354 --> 00:05:33,633
Speaker 3: you're seeing all these consignment stores and really curated vintage

112
00:05:33,674 --> 00:05:36,154
Speaker 3: doores pop up, which I just think is brilliant, and

113
00:05:36,193 --> 00:05:38,713
Speaker 3: that is really the way forward with the amount of

114
00:05:38,873 --> 00:05:42,234
Speaker 3: secondhand clothing that's out there. The key is having a

115
00:05:42,234 --> 00:05:46,433
Speaker 3: really tight niche and so people find it easy at

116
00:05:46,474 --> 00:05:49,274
Speaker 3: a vintage shop and you can go I love the

117
00:05:49,393 --> 00:05:52,273
Speaker 3: call me the Breeze Esthetic, or a different vintage store

118
00:05:53,154 --> 00:05:54,234
Speaker 3: and they are just going to.

119
00:05:54,313 --> 00:05:56,633
Speaker 1: They have generally the brands. I like, yeah, I know,

120
00:05:56,714 --> 00:05:58,393
Speaker 1: I can go there and it's like knowing you like

121
00:05:58,474 --> 00:06:02,833
Speaker 1: going to Witchery or Age, but it's your sinage store

122
00:06:02,873 --> 00:06:04,993
Speaker 1: as opposed to a store in the west Field. Yeah.

123
00:06:05,034 --> 00:06:07,553
Speaker 3: So it's just making it easier because they think for

124
00:06:07,594 --> 00:06:10,674
Speaker 3: a long time vintage was just everything and that a

125
00:06:10,714 --> 00:06:12,234
Speaker 3: lot of people got put off by that and it

126
00:06:12,234 --> 00:06:14,314
Speaker 3: felt a bit almost dress up y, if that makes sense.

127
00:06:14,354 --> 00:06:17,713
Speaker 3: It's very old world, whereas I do love old, older things,

128
00:06:17,794 --> 00:06:20,113
Speaker 3: you know, proper vintage, but sometimes it feels like I

129
00:06:20,154 --> 00:06:20,794
Speaker 3: can't wear that.

130
00:06:20,794 --> 00:06:24,193
Speaker 1: In the real world. But now you're right, it's kind

131
00:06:24,193 --> 00:06:26,273
Speaker 1: of almost like there's Subnichies. I've got a few in

132
00:06:26,313 --> 00:06:28,753
Speaker 1: Sydney that I love, and I know that's really fancy,

133
00:06:28,834 --> 00:06:30,674
Speaker 1: like your wire cells on niavalins. Yeah, and then I've

134
00:06:30,674 --> 00:06:33,714
Speaker 1: got another one that I'm like, Okay, they sell maybe

135
00:06:33,753 --> 00:06:36,153
Speaker 1: scanlons as fancy as they get, so I know where

136
00:06:36,154 --> 00:06:38,873
Speaker 1: to go for what It's so true. Yeah, yes, it's

137
00:06:38,914 --> 00:06:41,394
Speaker 1: just about making it more accessible. I like it. Yeah.

138
00:06:41,834 --> 00:06:46,514
Speaker 1: So did you start collecting vintage yourself before you started selling?

139
00:06:46,594 --> 00:06:48,633
Speaker 1: How did that all happen? Or buying vintage?

140
00:06:48,914 --> 00:06:55,313
Speaker 3: So, my first real vintage purchase was when I dove

141
00:06:55,393 --> 00:06:59,674
Speaker 3: in and I bought this huge collection from a woman

142
00:06:59,714 --> 00:07:00,713
Speaker 3: who lived near me.

143
00:07:01,193 --> 00:07:04,513
Speaker 1: It was like also, not just one piece. I loved it.

144
00:07:04,834 --> 00:07:08,433
Speaker 3: But I didn't really take the plan until that because

145
00:07:08,474 --> 00:07:10,394
Speaker 3: I had a business idea, you know, that I wanted

146
00:07:10,393 --> 00:07:12,474
Speaker 3: to run with, and I knew.

147
00:07:12,314 --> 00:07:14,234
Speaker 1: This woman was a friend's mum.

148
00:07:14,393 --> 00:07:17,273
Speaker 3: I had a you know a relationship with her, and

149
00:07:17,314 --> 00:07:20,554
Speaker 3: I had heard whispers that she had this farm with

150
00:07:20,634 --> 00:07:23,874
Speaker 3: sheds and shipping containers full of vintage clothing.

151
00:07:25,514 --> 00:07:27,713
Speaker 1: I know. It was an amazing so much fun.

152
00:07:27,953 --> 00:07:30,474
Speaker 3: And one day she approached me and said that she

153
00:07:30,554 --> 00:07:33,394
Speaker 3: was wanting to sell, and I came out and.

154
00:07:33,393 --> 00:07:34,833
Speaker 1: Just had a little stift through. Did you get to

155
00:07:34,834 --> 00:07:36,434
Speaker 1: go through the sipping containers? Yeah?

156
00:07:36,514 --> 00:07:38,514
Speaker 3: So I went and met her at the farm and

157
00:07:38,794 --> 00:07:41,593
Speaker 3: started going through some things with the intention that I'd

158
00:07:41,634 --> 00:07:43,434
Speaker 3: probably pull out a few things that I like and

159
00:07:43,474 --> 00:07:45,794
Speaker 3: make her an offer for some things.

160
00:07:45,594 --> 00:07:47,594
Speaker 1: For you or for the store. You weren't sure yet,

161
00:07:47,714 --> 00:07:49,273
Speaker 1: are you kind of it? Yeah?

162
00:07:49,354 --> 00:07:53,473
Speaker 3: I mean that's a whole another topic where the multiender

163
00:07:53,474 --> 00:07:56,273
Speaker 3: retailer that I had that was called me. The breeze

164
00:07:56,674 --> 00:08:00,034
Speaker 3: started slowing down, and then I pivoted into vintage. And

165
00:08:00,194 --> 00:08:02,354
Speaker 3: as things were slowing down, I was like, this popped

166
00:08:02,393 --> 00:08:03,234
Speaker 3: up and I was like, yeah.

167
00:08:03,114 --> 00:08:06,354
Speaker 1: Oh wow, catalyst for the pivot yea.

168
00:08:06,674 --> 00:08:10,634
Speaker 3: And yeah, I went there and she actually pulled out.

169
00:08:10,834 --> 00:08:15,914
Speaker 3: She got really emotional, which I completely you know, understand,

170
00:08:15,914 --> 00:08:18,833
Speaker 3: and we just spent the afternoon going through things and

171
00:08:18,874 --> 00:08:20,274
Speaker 3: she was telling me memories.

172
00:08:20,393 --> 00:08:23,234
Speaker 1: Yeah, going through everything. Such a beautiful part of vintage though, right,

173
00:08:23,314 --> 00:08:25,754
Speaker 1: it was a life someone maybe wore that for a

174
00:08:25,754 --> 00:08:29,074
Speaker 1: beautiful celebration or you know it was so meaningful to someone.

175
00:08:29,234 --> 00:08:32,953
Speaker 3: Yeah, And she'd put forty years worth of collecting into

176
00:08:32,994 --> 00:08:36,154
Speaker 3: this collection. You know, she would go shopping and just

177
00:08:36,194 --> 00:08:41,234
Speaker 3: slowly build. You know, there was all this antique bridle.

178
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:45,154
Speaker 3: There was boxes of lingerie like beautiful sleepwear, and so

179
00:08:45,274 --> 00:08:47,274
Speaker 3: did you take it all in or like most of her.

180
00:08:47,394 --> 00:08:47,594
Speaker 1: Yeah.

181
00:08:47,634 --> 00:08:50,234
Speaker 3: So the first time I went, she pulled out. And

182
00:08:50,274 --> 00:08:53,794
Speaker 3: then a few months later she popped in to visit

183
00:08:53,834 --> 00:08:55,954
Speaker 3: me and she said, I'm happy to part with it,

184
00:08:55,954 --> 00:08:57,474
Speaker 3: but you have to take everything I.

185
00:08:57,434 --> 00:09:00,354
Speaker 1: Can't sift through. Yeah, she needs to like mentally go

186
00:09:00,434 --> 00:09:03,114
Speaker 1: o yah. Yeah, And we shook.

187
00:09:02,794 --> 00:09:04,794
Speaker 3: Hands on it and then came to the farm with

188
00:09:04,874 --> 00:09:09,474
Speaker 3: my couple of cars and my husband and trailer and

189
00:09:09,674 --> 00:09:14,034
Speaker 3: just we were just carting like giant armloads of clothes.

190
00:09:14,154 --> 00:09:16,994
Speaker 1: And so that's how the pivot then officially happy.

191
00:09:17,474 --> 00:09:19,554
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did end up with a whole lot of

192
00:09:19,554 --> 00:09:22,634
Speaker 3: stuff that wasn't really appropriate or suitable for because I

193
00:09:22,674 --> 00:09:26,114
Speaker 3: wanted to have a really specific niche what do you

194
00:09:26,154 --> 00:09:28,634
Speaker 3: do with that stuff? I had all sorts of ideas,

195
00:09:28,634 --> 00:09:30,674
Speaker 3: like I was going to put it on Etsy or eBay,

196
00:09:31,074 --> 00:09:33,274
Speaker 3: but then it was just too overwhelming, pretty much of it,

197
00:09:33,314 --> 00:09:35,514
Speaker 3: and I thought I can't actually put the time into this.

198
00:09:35,714 --> 00:09:38,714
Speaker 1: So I had a market, and this market.

199
00:09:38,514 --> 00:09:41,434
Speaker 3: Was at the showroom where I now have my business,

200
00:09:41,714 --> 00:09:45,874
Speaker 3: which is this heritage listed beautiful mansion in Port Lincoln.

201
00:09:46,034 --> 00:09:48,594
Speaker 3: I rent a room, but it's like a wedding beautiful

202
00:09:49,354 --> 00:09:51,714
Speaker 3: and also fitting, so fitting. And so I had this

203
00:09:51,794 --> 00:09:53,914
Speaker 3: market there and we had like a fruit truck and

204
00:09:54,714 --> 00:09:56,954
Speaker 3: so many people showed up, and I just did a

205
00:09:56,994 --> 00:10:00,114
Speaker 3: filler bag. Everyone got to pay fifty bucks and you

206
00:10:00,154 --> 00:10:01,714
Speaker 3: just fill a bag of vintage.

207
00:10:02,274 --> 00:10:03,034
Speaker 1: So I got rid of it.

208
00:10:03,114 --> 00:10:06,274
Speaker 3: Now I'm I really don't want to hold I just

209
00:10:06,314 --> 00:10:08,674
Speaker 3: want to buy a little chunks and then yeah, I

210
00:10:08,674 --> 00:10:11,354
Speaker 3: don't want to build too. It's not about volume, not

211
00:10:11,394 --> 00:10:14,274
Speaker 3: about I want to keep soldy and your niche h

212
00:10:14,274 --> 00:10:16,234
Speaker 3: how much do you end up keeping for yourself though,

213
00:10:17,034 --> 00:10:21,074
Speaker 3: To be honest, I don't keep a lot for myself.

214
00:10:21,114 --> 00:10:22,594
Speaker 1: Could you like wear it once or twice and then

215
00:10:22,634 --> 00:10:24,794
Speaker 1: sell it because it's already vintage. It's like you're wearing

216
00:10:24,834 --> 00:10:27,354
Speaker 1: something from David Jones and returning it. Yes, Oh, you're

217
00:10:27,434 --> 00:10:29,394
Speaker 1: the best job, So I do.

218
00:10:29,514 --> 00:10:31,874
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't keep a lot because I do

219
00:10:32,074 --> 00:10:33,234
Speaker 3: just enjoy finding it.

220
00:10:33,314 --> 00:10:34,794
Speaker 1: And then you know, as soon as you put.

Speaker 1: The joy of just having it come through your life

225
00:10:43,514 --> 00:10:46,514
Speaker 1: in that capacity and you've found it and someone loves it.

226
00:10:46,514 --> 00:10:47,434
Speaker 1: You don't have to own it.

227
00:10:47,554 --> 00:10:51,154
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm married, So I mean you don't because

228

Speaker 3: me your vows.

230
00:10:56,234 --> 00:10:57,994
Speaker 1: I renewed my vows at ten years and now I

231
00:10:57,994 --> 00:11:00,514
Speaker 1: want to do it. Oh did you Well I still

232
00:11:00,514 --> 00:11:02,554
Speaker 1: haven't been eleven years yet, but a vintage dress would

233
00:11:02,554 --> 00:11:03,554
Speaker 1: be amazing. Yeah.

234
00:11:03,674 --> 00:11:05,274
Speaker 3: You know, it's been a bit over a year since

235
00:11:05,314 --> 00:11:08,634
Speaker 3: I started, and now all the brides, all their photos

236
00:11:08,634 --> 00:11:11,154
Speaker 3: are coming in, and every week I'm getting a new bride.

237
00:11:11,434 --> 00:11:13,434
Speaker 1: I'm wearing one of the dresses that I sauce, and

238
00:11:13,474 --> 00:11:17,914
Speaker 1: it's just the best thing. It would be so much magical. Yeah,

239
00:11:18,114 --> 00:11:20,834
Speaker 1: it really is when you sauce. I mean, I guess

240
00:11:20,834 --> 00:11:23,634
Speaker 1: you don't want to tell us your sources, but we're like,

241
00:11:23,714 --> 00:11:26,754
Speaker 1: how particularly wedding dresses because Australia in terms of I

242
00:11:26,794 --> 00:11:30,474
Speaker 1: guess the world doesn't have that much of an old history.

243
00:11:30,514 --> 00:11:31,914
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you're not gonna find wedding dresses

244
00:11:31,954 --> 00:11:34,874
Speaker 1: from four hundred years ago. But do you often reach

245
00:11:35,434 --> 00:11:38,274
Speaker 1: overseas to source things or is it mostly Australia?

246
00:11:38,354 --> 00:11:43,034
Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly everywhere, Like I have eyes everywhere, but I

247
00:11:43,074 --> 00:11:46,354
Speaker 3: do spend a lot of time on Marketplace trying to

248
00:11:46,394 --> 00:11:49,314
Speaker 3: convince people to ship me things because from other place,

249
00:11:49,754 --> 00:11:52,794
Speaker 3: just from like Facebook marketplace, but they might be in

250
00:11:52,874 --> 00:11:55,714
Speaker 3: Western Australia and they always think I'm a scammers, so

251
00:11:55,954 --> 00:11:58,554
Speaker 3: I always have to send a video being like I'm real,

252
00:11:58,754 --> 00:12:03,834
Speaker 3: I really want your dress. Oh yeah, it's it's very funny.

253
00:12:03,874 --> 00:12:06,914
Speaker 3: But I mean everywhere like ebayd.

254
00:12:06,354 --> 00:12:08,794
Speaker 1: Pop buying trips that would be fun.

255
00:12:09,034 --> 00:12:12,634
Speaker 3: I feel like the advantage that I have is because

256
00:12:12,634 --> 00:12:16,474
Speaker 3: I live rurally, there's a lot of people who hold

257
00:12:16,474 --> 00:12:19,474
Speaker 3: them to stuff locally, like this woman. I also work

258
00:12:19,554 --> 00:12:22,594
Speaker 3: with another lady who has a it's an old costume

259
00:12:22,674 --> 00:12:24,554
Speaker 3: store that's been there for about fifty years, but the

260
00:12:24,554 --> 00:12:28,234
Speaker 3: community have been donating her clothes over that whole time span.

261
00:12:28,714 --> 00:12:32,514
Speaker 3: So I go in. We just haven't arrangement where I'll

262
00:12:32,514 --> 00:12:34,794
Speaker 3: just go and pick what, yeah, so to sell. She's

263
00:12:34,794 --> 00:12:37,554
Speaker 3: not really in a rush. She also then takes some

264
00:12:37,594 --> 00:12:39,914
Speaker 3: of the profits of the sale and donates it back

265
00:12:39,914 --> 00:12:41,674
Speaker 3: to the community, which is really beautiful.

266
00:12:41,994 --> 00:12:43,874
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess so. I mean because here in Sydney,

267
00:12:43,914 --> 00:12:46,434
Speaker 1: particularly where I live, I mean, there's still not a

268
00:12:46,514 --> 00:12:49,394
Speaker 1: huge amount, but there's enough to I know that a

269
00:12:49,394 --> 00:12:52,274
Speaker 1: lot of them source from overseas or from regional places

270
00:12:52,274 --> 00:12:54,434
Speaker 1: where they're not quite as mine, if that makes sense.

271
00:12:54,474 --> 00:12:56,714
Speaker 1: But you're in a good spot. Yeah, but I do.

272
00:12:56,834 --> 00:13:00,994
Speaker 3: I do also buy from overseas, even like live there's

273
00:13:01,034 --> 00:13:06,354
Speaker 3: lots of live sales over in America and online auctions

274
00:13:06,394 --> 00:13:06,994
Speaker 3: and there's.

275
00:13:07,434 --> 00:13:10,394
Speaker 1: I do love an online auction. Yeah, it's so bad,

276
00:13:10,434 --> 00:13:12,234
Speaker 1: but I mean I feel bad, but like if I do,

277
00:13:12,514 --> 00:13:14,474
Speaker 1: you know, have a look at a deceased state, I'm like, oh,

278
00:13:14,514 --> 00:13:16,674
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry to whoever passed away, but wow, your

279
00:13:16,674 --> 00:13:20,834
Speaker 1: things are amazing. Yeah. I did feel that way about

280
00:13:20,834 --> 00:13:24,914
Speaker 1: this one actually because she had love. Yeah, can I

281
00:13:25,034 --> 00:13:26,834
Speaker 1: ask you? And I mean, I just don't think there

282
00:13:26,914 --> 00:13:32,034
Speaker 1: is an official you know, verification or what vintage means.

283
00:13:32,034 --> 00:13:35,394
Speaker 1: But what does vintage mean to you? Yeah? Vintage and

284
00:13:35,434 --> 00:13:37,474
Speaker 1: then thrifted in secondhand? But yeah, is it all the

285
00:13:37,514 --> 00:13:38,194
Speaker 1: same or.

286
00:13:38,314 --> 00:13:42,114
Speaker 3: No, they are, they are different. So vintage is anything

287
00:13:42,274 --> 00:13:45,554
Speaker 3: twenty years old or older. So twenty yeah, so two

288
00:13:45,634 --> 00:13:47,154
Speaker 3: thousand and five, that's.

289
00:13:47,074 --> 00:13:49,354
Speaker 1: Ridiculous because two thousand and five was one minute ago.

290
00:13:49,594 --> 00:13:52,354
Speaker 1: I think vintage HAPs to mean nineteen seventy. But I

291
00:13:52,354 --> 00:13:54,834
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are shocked when they hear that.

292
00:13:54,874 --> 00:13:58,154
Speaker 1: But yeah, anything older than two thousand and five. Secondhand

293
00:13:58,234 --> 00:14:00,474
Speaker 1: is everything if it's been worn, so it sort of

294
00:14:00,514 --> 00:14:04,474
Speaker 1: covers everything, and then thrifted is shops. Yeah, so I

295
00:14:04,514 --> 00:14:07,594
Speaker 1: mean you can find both secondhanded vintage. Yeah. I mean

296
00:14:07,634 --> 00:14:09,794
Speaker 1: I've gone on op shopping and bought a Selene belt,

297
00:14:09,794 --> 00:14:11,594
Speaker 1: but then it's next to a team or something, so

298
00:14:11,594 --> 00:14:15,194
Speaker 1: it's very yep. I know, my Seleing belt was nine dollars.

299
00:14:15,794 --> 00:14:17,634
Speaker 1: It was pretty true, like the bucket was pretty trash,

300
00:14:17,674 --> 00:14:20,034
Speaker 1: but only in like a cool way. Yeah, but you

301
00:14:20,074 --> 00:14:22,914
Speaker 1: know that doesn't happen often. And if that had been

302
00:14:22,914 --> 00:14:24,474
Speaker 1: in a curated store, it would have been a lot

303
00:14:24,474 --> 00:14:26,074
Speaker 1: more money. But I wouldn't have had to sift. So

304
00:14:26,114 --> 00:14:28,154
Speaker 1: there's pros and cons of the type of place you

305
00:14:28,194 --> 00:14:32,034
Speaker 1: look for these things twenty years. Oh my gosh, that's weird.

306
00:14:32,034 --> 00:14:33,474
Speaker 1: I should have kept all my things, I know.

307
00:14:33,794 --> 00:14:36,114
Speaker 3: I often I get sad sometimes thinking about all the

308
00:14:36,154 --> 00:14:39,314
Speaker 3: things that have gone through the op shops and then

309
00:14:39,434 --> 00:14:42,514
Speaker 3: have been missorted or thrown out.

310
00:14:42,634 --> 00:14:42,994
Speaker 1: I know.

311
00:14:43,514 --> 00:14:47,674
Speaker 3: Like I went into the Salvos locally where I live,

312
00:14:48,194 --> 00:14:53,794
Speaker 3: and they had two izimiaki apron ple yeah, pleated aprons

313
00:14:53,794 --> 00:14:56,554
Speaker 3: in the costume section. I grabbed them straight away, and

314
00:14:56,594 --> 00:14:58,514
Speaker 3: the manager said that he had to fish them out

315
00:14:58,514 --> 00:15:01,914
Speaker 3: of the bin because the sorters had not known what

316
00:15:01,954 --> 00:15:03,674
Speaker 3: they were put them in the bin. And then so

317
00:15:03,714 --> 00:15:06,074
Speaker 3: it does make me go, imagine all the things.

318
00:15:05,834 --> 00:15:08,834
Speaker 1: That have happened, yeah, or have been goot shired into,

319
00:15:08,954 --> 00:15:11,994
Speaker 1: like costumes. So that's interesting, I guess because he only

320
00:15:12,034 --> 00:15:14,594
Speaker 1: sort of pivoted to this vintage a year or so ago.

321
00:15:15,034 --> 00:15:16,994
Speaker 1: Have you had to do or have you enjoyed an

322
00:15:17,114 --> 00:15:19,754
Speaker 1: education on what's what you know? I guess is in

323
00:15:19,834 --> 00:15:23,914
Speaker 1: Theiaki pleats, Please you know some vintage brands, vintage bridle.

324
00:15:24,034 --> 00:15:27,114
Speaker 1: Do you have like a relatively good education or understanding

325
00:15:27,114 --> 00:15:29,394
Speaker 1: now of what you're looking for or what things are.

326
00:15:29,834 --> 00:15:33,234
Speaker 3: Being a lover of fashion since I was younger, I

327
00:15:33,634 --> 00:15:36,394
Speaker 3: when I was sixteen, I was working at Patina Liano.

328
00:15:36,234 --> 00:15:39,514
Speaker 1: So like, I love Australian designers. So I think I

329
00:15:39,594 --> 00:15:41,954
Speaker 1: have told those jeans had on me. I laid, I

330
00:15:42,034 --> 00:15:45,754
Speaker 1: laid by them. Oh remember a oh my gosh, the

331
00:15:45,834 --> 00:15:48,354
Speaker 1: skinny Oh yes, and I had a little that an

332
00:15:48,394 --> 00:15:50,194
Speaker 1: assassin vibe and I think I had laid by them

333
00:15:50,194 --> 00:15:51,514
Speaker 1: both at the same time. I was like, I'm never

334
00:15:51,514 --> 00:15:53,394
Speaker 1: going to afford these, but I paid the boy with

335
00:15:53,474 --> 00:15:54,474
Speaker 1: it with every penny.

336
00:15:54,714 --> 00:15:57,154
Speaker 3: It was such a great time for Australian fashion and

337
00:15:57,274 --> 00:16:00,234
Speaker 3: those brands. I feel like I now have that knowledge

338
00:16:00,234 --> 00:16:03,234
Speaker 3: to look for those pieces. Yes, Like I've recently got

339
00:16:03,354 --> 00:16:05,674
Speaker 3: hold of one of my followers, actually got in touch

340
00:16:05,674 --> 00:16:08,194
Speaker 3: and she had this amazing two thousand and two call

341
00:16:08,234 --> 00:16:12,394
Speaker 3: it Dinner and Silk. It was like this cow neck

342
00:16:12,514 --> 00:16:15,314
Speaker 3: slip dress with the big butterfly sequing.

343
00:16:15,074 --> 00:16:15,994
Speaker 1: Butterfly on the bottom.

344
00:16:16,114 --> 00:16:19,754
Speaker 3: Yes, I remember that Sarah Murdoch or Sarah Hare wore

345
00:16:19,754 --> 00:16:21,114
Speaker 3: it down the runway.

346
00:16:21,034 --> 00:16:22,234
Speaker 1: Like that's vintage now.

347
00:16:22,474 --> 00:16:25,314
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I just think there's some great Australian

348
00:16:25,794 --> 00:16:29,074
Speaker 3: vintage from designers that are out there. So I'm trying

349
00:16:29,114 --> 00:16:31,034
Speaker 3: to apply that knowledge. But then also I'm learning a

350
00:16:31,034 --> 00:16:34,154
Speaker 3: lot as well. Especially with Bridle. You quickly start to

351
00:16:34,154 --> 00:16:37,594
Speaker 3: recognize what the big bridal designers were of, Yeah, the nineties,

352
00:16:37,594 --> 00:16:40,154
Speaker 3: you know, particularly the nineties, because that's what is selling

353
00:16:40,194 --> 00:16:41,194
Speaker 3: a lot for me at the moment.

354
00:16:41,674 --> 00:16:45,594
Speaker 1: And nineties. Yeah, I mean it makes sense because it's

355
00:16:45,634 --> 00:16:47,834
Speaker 1: we're very much back there and I'm kind of thinking,

356
00:16:48,434 --> 00:16:50,034
Speaker 1: was it goodneth pouch. I'm trying to think of someone

357
00:16:50,034 --> 00:16:53,394
Speaker 1: who wore the most simple dress like I can see

358
00:16:54,834 --> 00:16:56,634
Speaker 1: the resurgence. It's not that I mean, you know, I'm

359
00:16:56,634 --> 00:16:58,314
Speaker 1: not looking to get married again, but you're right, everyone

360
00:16:58,314 --> 00:17:01,114
Speaker 1: that's getting married now, it's they've gone back to that style. Yeah,

361
00:17:01,354 --> 00:17:03,514
Speaker 1: very of getting a new one. People are getting the

362
00:17:03,554 --> 00:17:04,834
Speaker 1: original from that era.

363
00:17:05,033 --> 00:17:08,553
Speaker 3: Honestly, a lot of what I say you there is

364
00:17:08,714 --> 00:17:11,754
Speaker 3: so much out there vintage. It's just I think a

365
00:17:11,794 --> 00:17:14,114
Speaker 3: lot of people wouldn't be game enough to go into

366
00:17:14,154 --> 00:17:15,634
Speaker 3: an opshop and buy their wedding dress.

367
00:17:15,674 --> 00:17:17,434
Speaker 1: They really need that.

368
00:17:17,394 --> 00:17:21,714
Speaker 3: Conduit to like someone to show them it on and

369
00:17:21,914 --> 00:17:25,434
Speaker 3: you know, add that little bit of magic and charm experience.

370
00:17:25,714 --> 00:17:28,354
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure you could find a beautiful wedding dress

371
00:17:28,394 --> 00:17:30,874
Speaker 1: if you went to a few vineys. But it feels different. Yeah,

372
00:17:30,954 --> 00:17:31,594
Speaker 1: feels different.

373
00:17:31,674 --> 00:17:33,234
Speaker 3: There's people who can do it, but it would take

374
00:17:33,274 --> 00:17:34,954
Speaker 3: a certain level of vision.

375
00:17:35,154 --> 00:17:37,514
Speaker 1: I agree to do it and time, whereas you've done

376
00:17:37,514 --> 00:17:39,714
Speaker 1: a curation. Yeah, and I just make it easier.

377
00:17:39,834 --> 00:17:43,553
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's try and have videos and photos and just

378
00:17:43,634 --> 00:17:45,313
Speaker 3: try and sell it in a way that you know,

379
00:17:45,434 --> 00:17:48,914
Speaker 3: people see the dress from one of my drops and

380
00:17:48,954 --> 00:17:50,114
Speaker 3: just go, yes, that's the one.

381
00:17:50,194 --> 00:17:51,674
Speaker 1: Because you don't just sell in your life, do you

382
00:17:51,674 --> 00:17:56,474
Speaker 1: mostly sell online? Only online. Yeah, yeah, I'm online only. Yeah.

383
00:17:56,554 --> 00:17:59,754
Speaker 1: So I don't buy a wedding dress untried, and you

384
00:17:59,794 --> 00:18:02,634
Speaker 1: don't just sell bridle though, right, there's other So I do.

385
00:18:03,114 --> 00:18:05,594
Speaker 3: I mean, bridle is what I'm known for, but I

386
00:18:05,674 --> 00:18:06,994
Speaker 3: do also love.

387
00:18:07,234 --> 00:18:09,313
Speaker 1: I think it's saw a delightful pink dress on your

00:18:19,634 --> 00:18:22,354
Speaker 3: I love so quite formal and like, okay, actually more

392
00:18:22,354 --> 00:18:26,514
Speaker 3: evening occasional where and just I love just really unique

393
00:18:26,914 --> 00:18:28,714
Speaker 3: pieces or great fabrications.

394
00:18:28,834 --> 00:18:32,194
Speaker 1: Yeah, leather or yeah, you know, just I love coats

395
00:18:32,194 --> 00:18:33,954
Speaker 1: and yeah, so it's kind of a bit special. Not

396
00:18:33,994 --> 00:18:37,874
Speaker 1: just a white T shirt. No, yeah, unless it's a

397
00:18:37,914 --> 00:18:46,714
Speaker 1: really nice white T shirt, I love it. So you

398
00:18:46,794 --> 00:18:49,794
Speaker 1: mentioned the nineteen nineties, which to me still is blowing

399
00:18:49,834 --> 00:18:51,594
Speaker 1: my mind because it feels like two minutes ago. But

400
00:18:51,754 --> 00:18:54,154
Speaker 1: is that the area you're focusing on mostly or you're

401
00:18:54,194 --> 00:18:56,513
Speaker 1: finding like, what's the range that you've got? Have you

402
00:18:56,514 --> 00:18:57,914
Speaker 1: got stuff from the seventies?

403
00:18:58,314 --> 00:19:01,994
Speaker 3: The nineties is huge across the entire fashion world. So

404
00:19:02,194 --> 00:19:03,954
Speaker 3: that is what I look for a lot of the time.

405
00:19:03,994 --> 00:19:07,674
Speaker 3: But I'm more drawn to design, So I'm just really

406
00:19:07,674 --> 00:19:11,354
Speaker 3: beautiful piece. Really don't care what ear it's from. It's

407
00:19:11,434 --> 00:19:14,754
Speaker 3: just I want something that's unique and fun and stealing

408
00:19:14,754 --> 00:19:15,434
Speaker 3: good for quality.

409
00:19:15,674 --> 00:19:18,074
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Do you get requests from people saying I'm

410
00:19:18,074 --> 00:19:20,274
Speaker 1: really looking for this kind of thing? Or yes?

411
00:19:20,434 --> 00:19:23,954
Speaker 3: I get requests every day with someone wanting me to

412
00:19:23,994 --> 00:19:26,634
Speaker 3: source a dress for them, And I would love to

413
00:19:26,674 --> 00:19:29,314
Speaker 3: do it, but I know I can't, and.

414
00:19:29,314 --> 00:19:31,074
Speaker 1: If I come across it, I'll keep you in.

415
00:19:31,034 --> 00:19:33,274
Speaker 3: Mind, and I do, but I think again, they need

416
00:19:33,314 --> 00:19:35,914
Speaker 3: the whole shoot that I do and the videos and

417
00:19:36,034 --> 00:19:39,194
Speaker 3: the build up of a new weekly drop and very

418
00:19:39,234 --> 00:19:42,553
Speaker 3: time consuming. Yeah to, I mean I would love to

419
00:19:42,634 --> 00:19:43,754
Speaker 3: achieve it one day, but how.

420
00:19:43,674 --> 00:19:46,194
Speaker 1: I need to clone yourself and so people approach you

421
00:19:46,234 --> 00:19:49,034
Speaker 1: to sell alevantage. Yes, that is definitely.

422
00:19:49,154 --> 00:19:51,834
Speaker 3: As my following has grown, I'm getting a lot of people,

423
00:19:52,474 --> 00:19:55,434
Speaker 3: very cool even people. Yesterday I had a drop and

424
00:19:55,474 --> 00:19:58,513
Speaker 3: there was a gorgeous nineteen sixties wedding dress in it

425
00:19:58,834 --> 00:20:01,194
Speaker 3: and someone sent me a DM saying, oh, that's my

426
00:20:01,474 --> 00:20:04,234
Speaker 3: boyfriend's mum's dress and sent me a photo of her

427
00:20:04,314 --> 00:20:05,754
Speaker 3: in the dress and.

428
00:20:06,394 --> 00:20:08,874
Speaker 1: Done the round like was she the one selling it?

429
00:20:08,954 --> 00:20:09,394
Speaker 1: Or who knows.

430
00:20:09,514 --> 00:20:11,874
Speaker 3: She just told she must have had a conversation and

431
00:20:12,114 --> 00:20:12,834
Speaker 3: recommended me.

432
00:20:12,954 --> 00:20:17,674
Speaker 1: So ah, right, how many lives it had had? No, Yeah, and.

433
00:20:17,594 --> 00:20:21,714
Speaker 3: Then that got purchased by someone in New York. So wow,

434
00:20:21,954 --> 00:20:23,634
Speaker 3: It's it's really cool.

435
00:20:23,674 --> 00:20:26,514
Speaker 1: I love seeing the I like to imagine the stories

436
00:20:26,554 --> 00:20:28,514
Speaker 1: of the things, Like I don't want to know if

437
00:20:28,514 --> 00:20:30,914
Speaker 1: that person you know, got divorced in that dress. I'm like,

438
00:20:30,954 --> 00:20:32,914
Speaker 1: I imagine good time.

439
00:20:33,194 --> 00:20:36,594
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, yes, some dresses might have bad judo,

440
00:20:36,714 --> 00:20:37,634
Speaker 3: but ye, who cares.

441
00:20:37,834 --> 00:20:39,394
Speaker 1: It's pretty dress exactly.

442
00:20:39,474 --> 00:20:42,554
Speaker 3: It's just dress, and it's a lot more affordable than

443
00:20:42,794 --> 00:20:44,114
Speaker 3: if you're buying you and it's.

444
00:20:44,034 --> 00:20:47,114
Speaker 1: It's so true. And the sustainability, the uniqueness. There's so

445
00:20:47,234 --> 00:20:50,994
Speaker 1: many reasons, not just for your wedding. And like I

446
00:20:51,074 --> 00:20:52,994
Speaker 1: maybe now if I got married now i'd do secondhand.

447
00:20:52,994 --> 00:20:54,954
Speaker 1: But I got a new wedding dress, but so much

448
00:20:55,074 --> 00:20:59,314
Speaker 1: of my wardrobe it's now vintage, thrifted secondhand because it's cheaper,

449
00:20:59,394 --> 00:21:02,234
Speaker 1: better for the environment, and unique. There's so many reasons

450
00:21:02,274 --> 00:21:04,394
Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah, there's less stigma now. I think

451
00:21:04,514 --> 00:21:06,554
Speaker 1: people are more very cool.

452
00:21:06,594 --> 00:21:10,114
Speaker 3: It's the oppositely Yeah, it's very I think the same.

453
00:21:10,154 --> 00:21:12,954
Speaker 3: I think there is nothing cooler than saying my outfit

454
00:21:13,074 --> 00:21:13,754
Speaker 3: is vintage.

455
00:21:13,754 --> 00:21:16,274
Speaker 1: I think that, yeah, just the best. Yes, you mentioned

456
00:21:16,634 --> 00:21:19,313
Speaker 1: some people approach you. But then, like you say, is

457
00:21:19,314 --> 00:21:22,714
Speaker 1: it just a mix of marketplace going down Internet Rabbit

458
00:21:22,794 --> 00:21:28,114
Speaker 1: Warren's estates how exciting? All over, I love it and

459
00:21:28,154 --> 00:21:28,994
Speaker 1: I love you.

460
00:21:29,074 --> 00:21:32,634
Speaker 3: Come across something and it's just the most terrible photo

461
00:21:32,914 --> 00:21:36,354
Speaker 3: and I'm trying to you know, someone's inherited it and

462
00:21:36,394 --> 00:21:38,354
Speaker 3: they just want to get rid of it, and I'm

463
00:21:38,394 --> 00:21:40,793
Speaker 3: trying to decipher whether it's going to be good or not.

464
00:21:40,834 --> 00:21:43,794
Speaker 1: And then it arrives and it's amazing. And surely there's

465
00:21:43,834 --> 00:21:45,914
Speaker 1: been some duds, right, You've got to get something that's

466
00:21:45,954 --> 00:21:46,914
Speaker 1: not as great.

467
00:21:47,154 --> 00:21:50,754
Speaker 3: Actually, the biggest dud was I got this stress of someone.

468
00:21:51,154 --> 00:21:52,114
Speaker 1: It was a wedding dress.

469
00:21:52,234 --> 00:21:55,754
Speaker 3: She had bought it from a very renowned vintage store

470
00:21:56,034 --> 00:21:56,674
Speaker 3: in Melbourne.

471
00:21:57,194 --> 00:21:58,434
Speaker 1: It came to me.

472
00:21:58,474 --> 00:22:00,034
Speaker 3: I took some photos of it, and I had someone

473
00:22:00,034 --> 00:22:02,313
Speaker 3: else's message and say, Tara, you need to check this

474
00:22:02,354 --> 00:22:04,994
Speaker 3: one because Google lends it and I google less it

475
00:22:05,074 --> 00:22:08,754
Speaker 3: and it was like all over, I'll express So it's

476
00:22:08,794 --> 00:22:10,874
Speaker 3: a copy. You have to be careful. You have to

477
00:22:10,874 --> 00:22:14,553
Speaker 3: be careful because even vintage stores are getting confused about

478
00:22:14,594 --> 00:22:17,474
Speaker 3: whether something is vintage or not, right because a lot

479
00:22:17,474 --> 00:22:19,553
Speaker 3: of things that I mean a lot of things that

480
00:22:19,594 --> 00:22:21,634
Speaker 3: I buy are homemade, so they won't have a tag

481
00:22:21,674 --> 00:22:26,354
Speaker 3: on them. Yes, and they might look vintage, but anyway,

482
00:22:26,434 --> 00:22:28,754
Speaker 3: so anyone can be.

483
00:22:29,034 --> 00:22:31,394
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to be. But the risk is worth

484
00:22:31,394 --> 00:22:35,114
Speaker 1: it because I'm sure the winds outweigh the you know,

485
00:22:35,154 --> 00:22:36,554
Speaker 1: it's like online shopping.

486
00:22:36,434 --> 00:22:40,354
Speaker 3: Yes, and I mean, we still need to change our

487
00:22:40,394 --> 00:22:45,354
Speaker 3: mindset around not buying fast fashion from op shops because

488
00:22:45,794 --> 00:22:48,754
Speaker 3: lots of people just would turn their nose up seeing

489
00:22:49,154 --> 00:22:50,314
Speaker 3: those brands there.

490
00:22:50,074 --> 00:22:53,273
Speaker 1: But you're not supporting them and it already exists. So

491
00:22:53,394 --> 00:22:56,114
Speaker 1: rather than I really like that because you know, I,

492
00:22:56,194 --> 00:22:57,634
Speaker 1: like I said, I do a lot of fifting and

493
00:22:57,674 --> 00:22:59,714
Speaker 1: I look for fancy things. But sometimes I will buy

494
00:23:00,354 --> 00:23:03,073
Speaker 1: a sports girl dress, not that that's super fast fashion.

495
00:23:03,074 --> 00:23:05,714
Speaker 1: I'd buy a lot of Zara secondhand, Yeah, because it's

496
00:23:05,714 --> 00:23:08,194
Speaker 1: still great quality still, right, It's a great pair of

497
00:23:08,234 --> 00:23:10,314
Speaker 1: pants or a vest or something, and I just figure, well,

498
00:23:10,354 --> 00:23:12,754
Speaker 1: you know, it's either going to charity the money or

499
00:23:12,754 --> 00:23:14,394
Speaker 1: it's cheaper and I'm going to wear it and it's

500
00:23:14,434 --> 00:23:16,954
Speaker 1: still saving it from landfill because the item exists I

501
00:23:16,994 --> 00:23:19,554
Speaker 1: really like that you say that because doesn't have to

502
00:23:19,594 --> 00:23:30,154
Speaker 1: be fancy, fancy and expensive. Nope, it's very expensive. How

503
00:23:30,194 --> 00:23:35,634
Speaker 1: wondre these five percent? Before we get into bougiin budget?

504
00:23:36,554 --> 00:23:39,714
Speaker 1: What's your advice for people that want to shop vintage?

505
00:23:39,874 --> 00:23:42,394
Speaker 1: You know, obviously there's you, but they just want to start,

506
00:23:42,474 --> 00:23:46,114
Speaker 1: you know, going to the local mall less and maybe

507
00:23:46,154 --> 00:23:48,474
Speaker 1: just looking for a few more unique pieces. Is there

508
00:23:48,474 --> 00:23:51,114
Speaker 1: stuff to look for in terms of I mean, I

509
00:23:51,114 --> 00:23:54,314
Speaker 1: guess in real life or online, but certain fabrics to

510
00:23:54,394 --> 00:23:56,793
Speaker 1: look for or things to avoid? Do you check the buttons?

511
00:23:56,994 --> 00:23:58,994
Speaker 1: You know? How do we kind of start looking for

512
00:23:59,034 --> 00:23:59,634
Speaker 1: good stuff?

513
00:23:59,834 --> 00:24:02,914
Speaker 3: I mean I feel like if you are not into

514
00:24:03,394 --> 00:24:06,794
Speaker 3: op shopping and you know, or you're not into having

515
00:24:06,874 --> 00:24:10,994
Speaker 3: to rummage and find and you want to get into vintage,

516
00:24:11,074 --> 00:24:14,034
Speaker 3: I would just say there are so many resellers out there,

517
00:24:14,394 --> 00:24:17,354
Speaker 3: just if you're not on TikTok, like that is the

518
00:24:17,394 --> 00:24:21,714
Speaker 3: best place to be for fashion commentary and finding great

519
00:24:21,754 --> 00:24:22,954
Speaker 3: resellers on their.

520
00:24:23,354 --> 00:24:26,674
Speaker 1: Choose some more on Instagram? They can they do both

521
00:24:26,714 --> 00:24:27,234
Speaker 1: for me? Please?

522
00:24:27,354 --> 00:24:30,514
Speaker 3: I mean Instagram is great too, but we're very more

523
00:24:30,514 --> 00:24:36,674
Speaker 3: popular Instagram, but I am more like a consumer. Yes,

524
00:24:37,354 --> 00:24:40,234
Speaker 3: but it's just seems to be much more authentic.

525
00:24:40,474 --> 00:24:44,954
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean relaxed and not curated. Yeah, you know,

526
00:24:45,114 --> 00:24:46,954
Speaker 1: I know what you mean. It's it's not trying to

527
00:24:46,954 --> 00:24:49,394
Speaker 1: be too polished, and that's how you can learn a lot. Yeah,

528
00:24:49,434 --> 00:24:50,914
Speaker 1: I think I've watched a lot of I mean, I

529
00:24:50,954 --> 00:24:52,994
Speaker 1: guess I'm watching Instagram reels. But that's how I've learned

530
00:24:52,994 --> 00:24:55,714
Speaker 1: a lot about thrifting and what to look for and yeah,

531
00:24:55,754 --> 00:24:57,553
Speaker 1: you know, besides following my gut and what I like,

532
00:24:57,634 --> 00:25:00,394
Speaker 1: but you know, yeah, checking if something's lined, or you know,

533
00:25:00,474 --> 00:25:02,194
Speaker 1: checking the fabric because if there is a stain, you

534
00:25:02,234 --> 00:25:03,553
Speaker 1: need to know the fabric if you can get it out,

535
00:25:03,594 --> 00:25:04,914
Speaker 1: and you know, just all that sort of stuff.

536
00:25:04,994 --> 00:25:08,554
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think just finding a reseller who's aesthetic

537
00:25:08,674 --> 00:25:11,874
Speaker 3: you really resonate with, and then you're going to be

538
00:25:11,954 --> 00:25:15,553
Speaker 3: delivered on a silver platter vintage every week or you know,

539
00:25:15,594 --> 00:25:16,513
Speaker 3: whenever they drop.

540
00:25:16,914 --> 00:25:17,714
Speaker 1: You don't have to look.

541
00:25:18,314 --> 00:25:21,714
Speaker 3: So it's just about just find the reseller who you

542
00:25:21,754 --> 00:25:22,314
Speaker 3: love and.

543
00:25:22,314 --> 00:25:24,354
Speaker 1: Follow them and then DM them and say when do

544
00:25:24,354 --> 00:25:26,114
Speaker 1: you drop? Tell me, so I can't make sure I'm

545
00:25:26,394 --> 00:25:29,074
Speaker 1: there right on that second. Except that's the one thing

546
00:25:29,114 --> 00:25:31,834
Speaker 1: with vintage, and you know, secondhand it's unique and once

547
00:25:31,874 --> 00:25:34,833
Speaker 1: it's gone, it's gone. There's only one. Yes, I love it.

548
00:25:35,034 --> 00:25:36,794
Speaker 1: So we're going to get into boogie and budget, which

549
00:25:36,794 --> 00:25:39,634
Speaker 1: is a bit tricky with vintage. So I've actually brought

550
00:25:39,634 --> 00:25:41,874
Speaker 1: two items I'm going to show you and get your opinion.

551
00:25:41,914 --> 00:25:43,434
Speaker 1: I mean, I already own them, so don't tell me

552
00:25:43,474 --> 00:25:46,914
Speaker 1: they're horrible. But you are very generously going to recommend

553
00:25:46,954 --> 00:25:50,553
Speaker 1: other resellers, which is great. So who's your bougie, your

554
00:25:50,594 --> 00:25:51,914
Speaker 1: fancy reseller. Yes.

555
00:25:51,994 --> 00:25:55,154
Speaker 3: So one of my best friends has a resale business

556
00:25:55,274 --> 00:25:58,274
Speaker 3: called love Well Sourced and she I follow her.

557
00:25:58,834 --> 00:26:01,513
Speaker 1: Yes, so she has and so you know you can

558
00:26:01,634 --> 00:26:06,594
Speaker 1: get it. She has antique fine jewelry, just like a

559
00:26:06,634 --> 00:26:09,114
Speaker 1: quarter a couple of things, have you I think? So

560
00:26:09,714 --> 00:26:13,394
Speaker 1: she's amazing, Like it's great on DMS, I remember messaging. Yeah, okay, nope, yep,

561
00:26:13,434 --> 00:26:16,194
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Yeah, she's amazing. I've got my eye

562
00:26:16,194 --> 00:26:17,994
Speaker 1: at the moment. I really Adelaide based herself.

563
00:26:18,314 --> 00:26:22,114
Speaker 3: No, she's Sidney okay, yeah, but yeah, I've got my own.

564
00:26:22,194 --> 00:26:25,234
Speaker 3: She has these beautiful, chunky, stealing silver neckplaces because I'm

565
00:26:25,234 --> 00:26:26,154
Speaker 3: a silver girl, like.

566
00:26:26,114 --> 00:26:28,354
Speaker 1: I wear I wear them all the time.

567
00:26:30,594 --> 00:26:35,114
Speaker 3: So she is booty but so the most worthy investment.

568
00:26:35,674 --> 00:26:38,714
Speaker 1: You can't unless you lose it. You don't have to wash.

569
00:26:38,754 --> 00:26:42,194
Speaker 1: It doesn't get holes. Look at me justifying and someone

570
00:26:42,274 --> 00:26:44,474
Speaker 1: else has loved it before. Yeah, and a lot of

571
00:26:44,474 --> 00:26:44,994
Speaker 1: the time, you know.

572
00:26:45,074 --> 00:26:48,394
Speaker 3: And this goes with vintage in general, but particularly jewelry.

573
00:26:48,434 --> 00:26:51,194
Speaker 1: It's only going to gain value, yes, you know. Yeah,

574
00:26:51,394 --> 00:26:57,234
Speaker 1: it's an so you're more budget reseller. Yes, so I

575
00:26:57,314 --> 00:27:00,834
Speaker 1: love Dylan's store. So you don't know this she is.

576
00:27:00,954 --> 00:27:03,394
Speaker 3: I think she's like northern New South Wales but has

577
00:27:03,474 --> 00:27:05,074
Speaker 3: a very cool way of styling.

578
00:27:05,114 --> 00:27:10,154
Speaker 1: It's very palomable but all really well prized.

579
00:27:10,154 --> 00:27:13,793
Speaker 3: She has amazing Edwardian cottons and like, I don't know,

580
00:27:13,834 --> 00:27:16,434
Speaker 3: she just has a real okay, and that's what you're right,

581
00:27:16,514 --> 00:27:19,114
Speaker 3: that's how you it's a real something. Yes, and unless

582
00:27:19,154 --> 00:27:21,074
Speaker 3: you love the sifting, which I do well, depending on

583
00:27:21,114 --> 00:27:22,954
Speaker 3: my mood and how much time I've got. Yeah, when

584
00:27:23,034 --> 00:27:25,594
Speaker 3: someone's you know, nailed their styling and aesthetic and it

585
00:27:25,874 --> 00:27:27,874
Speaker 3: resonates with you, that's how you fall in love with

586
00:27:27,994 --> 00:27:31,313
Speaker 3: Secondhand through them, That's right. I love it all Right,

587
00:27:31,314 --> 00:27:33,074
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get my show and tell, so I'm going

588
00:27:33,114 --> 00:27:35,474
Speaker 3: to start with my budget. I bought this shirt a

589
00:27:35,514 --> 00:27:37,394
Speaker 3: couple of months ago. There was a Sydney market.

590
00:27:37,394 --> 00:27:40,154
Speaker 1: They do it once a year, that's like all resellers,

591
00:27:40,314 --> 00:27:42,434
Speaker 1: and it was anything from like Y two K like

592
00:27:42,514 --> 00:27:44,394
Speaker 1: Juicy Couture, which I was like, oh my god, I

593
00:27:44,394 --> 00:27:47,513
Speaker 1: did to throw all mine out to Chloe and Panbags

594
00:27:47,514 --> 00:27:51,114
Speaker 1: and everything. I found this shirt. I've worn her. Oh

595
00:27:51,194 --> 00:27:55,914
Speaker 1: my gosh, I love her. It is like a like

596
00:27:55,914 --> 00:27:58,114
Speaker 1: a chiffon, I don't know, like a sheerish. It looks

597
00:27:58,194 --> 00:28:00,914
Speaker 1: kind of not shiny silk, but I'm pretty sure it's synthetic.

598
00:28:01,234 --> 00:28:03,994
Speaker 1: And then it's got this beautiful big beaded panel like

599
00:28:04,034 --> 00:28:06,354
Speaker 1: on the chest, kind of think like how men wear

600
00:28:06,394 --> 00:28:08,794
Speaker 1: like a TUXI actually I don't know, but it's got

601
00:28:08,794 --> 00:28:13,634
Speaker 1: these like really beautiful crystals and pearls. She was twelve dollars.

602
00:28:13,874 --> 00:28:15,994
Speaker 1: Twelve dollars. Oh my gosh.

603
00:28:16,034 --> 00:28:19,674
Speaker 3: I feel like that could be an unconventional bridle.

604
00:28:19,794 --> 00:28:22,634
Speaker 1: I imagine that it's like a miniskirt or a cool

605
00:28:22,714 --> 00:28:27,354
Speaker 1: satin pant. There was a few little like brownish tannish stains,

606
00:28:27,434 --> 00:28:29,394
Speaker 1: but I've gotten because I'm into thrifting now, I've goten

607
00:28:29,474 --> 00:28:32,554
Speaker 1: quite good good. So I just used like a natural

608
00:28:32,634 --> 00:28:34,474
Speaker 1: stainding move and just soaked the hand. I have worn

609
00:28:34,514 --> 00:28:37,154
Speaker 1: it and then hand washed it twelve dollars. Do you

610
00:28:38,434 --> 00:28:41,514
Speaker 1: proof that's an absolute bark. It doesn't really help anyone.

611
00:28:41,554 --> 00:28:43,194
Speaker 1: They can't buy it, but this is the kind of

612
00:28:43,234 --> 00:28:47,954
Speaker 1: thing you can find for that price. Alright's bougie. I've

613
00:28:47,994 --> 00:28:50,594
Speaker 1: only also worn one because I mean, who am I? So?

614
00:28:50,674 --> 00:28:52,954
Speaker 1: I was in Dallas, Texas a few years ago, went

615
00:28:52,994 --> 00:28:54,554
Speaker 1: to get all the vintage down im and I did.

616
00:28:54,594 --> 00:28:55,954
Speaker 1: I mean, I had to buy a new suitcase to

617
00:28:55,954 --> 00:28:58,954
Speaker 1: get home. But we walked into this store and I

618
00:28:59,074 --> 00:29:01,154
Speaker 1: just fell in love with this dress. I think he

619
00:29:01,194 --> 00:29:03,914
Speaker 1: said sixties. You might know. It's like a flow length

620
00:29:03,954 --> 00:29:07,154
