After meeting on a night out at Newcastle University and bonding over a love of pre-loved fashion, Charlie and Freddie set up Vintage Threads identifying a gap in the vintage clothing market, specialising in old school sportswear and 80’s and 90’s designer pieces. Having crossed paths with them both at University, their journey from thrifting to building a £1.5 million turnover business with a Covent Garden store and a presence in Selfridges and collaborations with the likes of industry giants Adidas, their story is nothing less than impressive. So how did they do it ? What lessons have they learnt along the way ? What’s the future for sustainable fashion? And most importantly with the benefit of hindsight would they do anything differently and what advice would they give to their younger-self? I hope you enjoy it.
