She was always seen dressed to the nines, pearls in tow, and heels galore. She would never leave the house without her trusty shoulder-pinned sweater.

When she passed away, I found myself inheriting her vast walk-in closet collection of savvy vintage clothing. I wasn't quite sure what to do with all of it. I kept the pieces that meant the most to me and began to sell the rest. To my surprise, the demand for vintage clothing in great condition, or renewed, upcycled pieces, is immense, widespread, and appeals to men and women of all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy business was born - and it thrived \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn my book, I will show you exactly how to go about starting and running your own pre-loved clothing business.
