What a year. If it feels like you heard about shopping vintage more than ever in 2022, that's because you did!

ELLE claimed that vintage has gone viral. Forbes wrote about Gen Z finding stability in sustainability. The Washington Post declared supply chain issues a boon for antiques and vintage.

On a more local level, this has been the first year since 2019 that vintage markets have been fully back in swing, too — and a lot has changed. I talked to vintage industry veteran and founder of Hippie Market Kealan Sullivan about what's been happening in the sector. Scroll down to dig in.

I changed email providers recently, so we have a slightly different newsletter look (again). If you experience problems with the display or links, please do let me know.

Happy holidays and all the best for 2023! Happy hunting.

Yours in community,
Kristina
