FROM THE DEPARTMENT: Secondhand News (the recurring and always controversial trend of secondhand fashion), part 1

Hi everyone! Dustin brought one souvenir back from his recent tour with his band American Motors: a really gross cold, which I now have the pleasure of experiencing right now. I'm in the constant coughing/lost my voice stage of it this week, so there is no new episode of Clotheshorse.
Instead, I thought I would share a few of my favorite episodes of my kinda RIP/kinda on-hiatus podcast, The Department, in which Kim and I talked about the history of secondhand shopping. I am going to share all of them on the Clotheshorse feed this week, so check it out!

These episodes were recorded 2023, while I lived in Austin and Kim lived in LA.
Thanks for listening, and hopefully I'll be be back next week with a new episode of Clotheshorse!

From the original episode description:

Secondhand shopping is having a major moment right now and it isn't without controversy. Amanda + Kim take a deep dive into the trend cycle of secondhand clothing, because it turns out secondhand fashion isn't a first time fashion trend. This episode (part one) focuses on the 1920s through the 1970s.
Get all the details at thedepartment.world.
