I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who was so kind and patient throughout the process of opening my store, Vesepere Vintage. I couldn't have made this what it is without the patience and support of my husband, and his understanding and acceptance of my taking over our office with boxes of clothes. And to everyone who provided their talents in making this possible. To Seth for being a trooper and for really *getting* my style, to Amber and Hannah for making sure I didn't die on our shoot, to Delaney for capturing all the chaos, and to Lakshmi for providing her beautiful music.
One thing I didn't have the time to mention in the film above is my growing frustrating with the fast fashion industry. In 2013 I became aware of my guilt in sustaining this dirty, unethical stain on our society simply by not thinking about my purchases from regular department stores and wholesale manufacturers in China for my every growing need of "basics". It wasn't until I saw The True Cost earlier this year when I realized something was irrefutably wrong about our consumption of textiles and indifference toward factory workers. Coincidentally I had already began to work on Vespere Vintage with the planet and ethics in mind, but The True Cost made me really believe in what I could do with this store. I had become very wary of who to trust as a consumer, so I decided that old, used, and recycled was probably the safest route. My hope for Vespere Vintage is to encourage adoption of clothing, rather than consumption and regurgitation. To find permanent homes for lovely well loved garments, rather than encourage massive rotting graves of cloth.
