Pre-Loved Podcast: Deals on Designers Today’s show is with two guests, co-founders of Deals on Designers, an online consignment and vintage shop, Mariya and Paige! Mariya had the idea for Deals on Designers while working at a textile recycling non-profit, RewearAble – she loved secondhand fashion and wanted to find more ways for sustainable, secondhand pieces to make their way into people’s closets. She teamed up with Paige, a former co-worker from another job, whose own enthusiasm for the fashion industry was fostered when interning at Tom Ford. While Paige enjoyed the ever-changing landscape of the fashion industry, she also saw a need for brands to incorporate sustainable initiatives into their practices. And so, Deals on Designers was born! These two have incredible stories about textile recycling, founding a business together, partnering with vintage collectors, and giving back to good causes.  I’m so excited for you to hear all of their stories, so let’s  dive right into the show!  All the Episode Links: Deals on Designers @dealsondesigners RewearAble Check out more pics of Deals on Designers and RewearAble Burberry burning clothing and excess goods Business of Fashion Resale Report - only 5-7% of clothing that can be resold is in the resale ecosystem Lady V’s collection Adam Velardewear – handpainted pieces Manhattan Vintage Show Pre-Loved Podcast with Classic Coco  Vintage YSL umbrellas @allegravintij @michelleallegra @ladyvssta * JOIN THE PATREON COMMUNITY and get the Pre-Loved Podcast News Flash: https://www.patreon.com/prelovedpod  A special thanks goes out to my Patron Insiders: Patty Weber Beverley Docherty of Wolfe Pack Vintage Danny of Galaxy Live Kayla of Pins Thrift & Vintage Kathy Brand Lucero Buendia Steven Vogel **For more good stuff every week be sure you subscribe to Emily’s newsletter!
