Is the customer always right? Josh and Chantal talk about their pet peeves of people who come in the store, how they prepare for their weekly drops, how they price their products and having to keep up with social media content in the digital age. They also respond to online customer reviews and explain why they have never hired any staff to help them in store.

Where do Josh and Chantal get all their cool stuff for the store? Some secrets must remain but in the second episode they pull back the curtain on what it’s like to go on a road trip to buy vintage items. What makes a successful buying trip? How did a Geocities website lead them to a midnight drive to a Maryland farm? Shoutout to the La Quinta Inn and Dunkin’ Donuts!

It’s the debut episode of the podcast! Josh and Chantal share the origin story of how they met and their individual path to discovering an appreciation for vintage. Also discussed: a Holt Renfrew sweater Chantal really wanted, is Josh terrible at folding clothes, running a vintage store isn’t glamorous (don’t believe everything you see on social media!), is gatekeeping good or bad, and how trends come in and out of the vintage world.
