S9 Ep37 ANNAPURNA VINTAGE: Brooklyn vintage dealer, Annapurna Rogers - on managing the shop for A Current Affair, and what’s selling at markets like Pickwick.
On today's show, we're chatting with Annapurna Rogers, a Brooklyn-based vintage curator and the owner of Annapurna Vintage. Anna specializes in exceptional pieces from the 1960s through the 1990s for the modern woman – think well-constructed blazers, iconic coats, and those showstopper garments that elevate any wardrobe. In this episode, she shares her journey from growing up as a thrift-loving kid in Portland, Oregon – where she'd walk to Valley Village and find mod 60s dresses to wear to middle school – to running the daily operations of the Arcade vintage store for A Current Affair in Industry City, Brooklyn, and eventually launching her own business.  She opens up about what she’s learned from vintage-selling mentors, and about navigating the world of high-end vintage markets – including what's hot right now, and her philosophy on building a collection around quality and design  Plus, the unbelievable moment when Sabrina Carpenter's stylist reached out for a piece she'd just sold. What would you even do? It’s a really fun one full of great stories and advice, so let's dive right in!
