“I always get really excited when someone who has access to any possible new piece of clothing buys something from the past that we've chosen. That's a really exciting step forward for vintage. It's the most ethical way of shopping, and chances are no one else is going to have the same thing that you have.” — Brandon Veloria Giordano of James Veloria

If you’ve ever trekked to the James Veloria vintage store in downtown Manhattan, you might think you took a wrong turn. Tucked away in a Chinatown mall, the shop is a glittery jewel box of clothes with as much personality as the proprietors themselves. By making it to James Veloria, you instantly become part of a community with other shoppers who also had enough savvy to make it there. Badge earned!

In this episode, the store's owners, Collin James Weber and Brandon Veloria Giordano, talk to us about the art of curating vintage clothes for their business and for fun.

Highlights, inspiration and key learnings:

  • How they turned a passion into a business
  • How they track trends and inspiration
  • How they find vintage gems to sell
  • How they ‘remix’ those items in the store
  • Creating a community among customers
  • What people misunderstand about vintage
  • Thrift store curation tips
  • Being in business with your partner
  • How COVID-19 is changing fashion
  • Best cities for vintage shopping
