Episode 174 - BTS of Owning A Secondhand Designer Clothing Store and the Importance of Circular Fashion with Faith Mabry
This episode is part 2 of a mini series with Faith Mabry. She is the owner of second-hand designer + vintage store Revive in Haarlem, The Netherlands! Allison and Faith originally connected over their mutual love for second-hand fashion and both own second-hand stores, and we’re lucky to have Faith on this week to share her expertise with entrepreneurship, circular fashion, marketing, running a business abroad, mental health while working for yourself and more!
