do you do you think it's possible to be on trend but also at the same time be like conscious and and sustainable as i guess as a business as with island markets

yeah i guess for me and i think that's probably where we differ is that i don't collect the pieces and it's not about what i have in stock because i don't hold any stock these are this purely a place for people to sell their items there and then so you find it's mostly older girls or men like whoever wants to come um sell from their wardrobe and you'll find a lot of time it's the younger people who are like wow like i finally have an opportunity to buy this thing that was really cool maybe like a few months ago and someone older is selling it and that's sort of where the cycle comes in there which is really fun i know for me when i was younger like i I'd always look up to older people and what they were wearing, you know, they've got more money to spend on brands.

Like, I'm going to buy it.

So, yeah, I guess it's a little bit different that way.

Like, if I could hoard stuff, I would.

For those that don't understand, what's the difference between vintage and I guess secondhand?

Yeah, I mean, like, you have all the expertise on vintage.
