Today’s show is with Kati, the founder of Dresscue, a rent-a-rack secondhand store in Los Angeles. Kati is originally from Finland, where the rent-a-rack concept is from – and you get to hear all about its origins on today's show.  Rent-a-rack basically means that  anyone can rent a rack from Dresscue and sell their preloved clothing. This rent-a-rack concept is something Kati grew up with and as she knew it was a great way to recycle the clothes you don’t wear anymore whilst making some extra money. So chat about how she decided to bring the concept to Los Angeles, and all sorts of secondhand seller advice,  so let’s just dive right in!

[12:05] Her surprise that the rent-a-rack concept didn’t exist in LA when she moved there, despite a great vintage fashion scene. [13:44] How the rent-a-rack model works at Dresscue [20:45] Tips to make the most money out of your consignment period. [29:10] Working with influencers to get the word out about your new brand. [32:32] Finding a like-minded community of people interested in sustainability through the store.

Pre-Loved Podcast is a weekly vintage fashion interview show, with guests you’ll want to go thrifting with! For more Pre-Loved Podcast, subscribe to our Patreon! Today’s show is with Danielle Vermeer, recently the co-founder & CEO of a startup called Teleport, and you may also know her online as Goodwill Hunting – which is the name of her newsletter about resale and secondhand fashion. An avid thrifter of 20+ years, Danielle has long been interested in the impact she could make at the intersections of fashion, tech, and sustainability. She recently took a leap from leading resale & circular fashion at Amazon to join Teleport as Co-founder & CEO. Teleport is an early stage startup where users post no-filter videos of their shoppable,  thrifted outfits. Think if TikTok and Depop had a baby.  We chat about Danille’s story with secondhand, how she hasn’t purchased any new clothes for over 11 years, what she’s learned working to bring circular fashion to scale, and how we’re moving into a new era of resale. Plus so much more! This episode is full of insights about the secondhand space, so let’s just dive right in!

[17:30] Building out luxury resale at Amazon Fashion, and her  key learnings about how resale business models differ from retail at scale. [24:20] Is rental a sustainable business model long-term?

[44:39] Prediction for this year: clothing swaps will be in and fashion hauls will be out!
