Jason Charles asked me to guest-host an East Village-based session for his podcast network.
For this episode, I talked with Maegan Hayward, the proprietor of the East Village Vintage Collective at 545 E. 12th St. between Avenue A and Avenue B.
The place started as a pop-up shop in August 2015. Along the way, the East Village Vintage Collective became a full-time endeavor now entering its fourth year.
Launching the business is among the topics that we cover in the 27-minute podcast, which you can access here. We also discuss thrift-shop culture, what people look for these days (spoiler: jeans) and the challenges of running a small shop in NYC.
(Also, nothing to do with the podcast but everything is 25-percent off in the store today. They are open from noon to 8 p.m.)
And the landing page with the East Village Vintage Collection podcast includes a two-part podcast that Delphine Blue did with me last fall.
