We will be talking about important things like venue, cost, materials, and even how a typical Radical Sewing Club evening plays out.Along the way we are going to talk about lots of other important things, including the following questions:Has capitalism taken away sources of joy for us (only to try to replace it all with shopping)? How do we get those back?Why is the lack of third spaces an issue that impacts people of all ages?Why is building community sometimes as simple as knowing your neighbors? And how has capitalism made that more difficult?Why is it actually super radical to repair fast fashion?And how many people do we really need to push back and make serious change in this world?We’ll also touch on the cows that are Amanda's neighbors and why we have jeans trauma thanks to the 00s.Also: Amanda shares how protests are making her feel optimistic.

    Episode 228: Thrifty Business with Sara and Shan of Bargain Thrift Center
    2025/03/17
    Over the past few years, we have explored many different facets of the secondhand economy: resellers and the ethics of reselling secondhand items, the various secondhand platforms, the fine art of thrifting, and even where all of the unsold stuff from thrift stores ends up! In this episode we'll learn what it's like to run an independent thrift store, with Sara and Shan of Bargain Thrift Center, a thrift store in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA. We will discussHow the unrealistically low prices of ultra fast fashion impact the prices most people are willing to pay for secondhand itemsOpportunities that the secondhand supply chain has to reach more people and match them with the product they are seekingWhat happens to the collectibles and tchotchkes that are flooding thrift stores right now (I call it the “collection industrial complex”)And Sara and Shan’s vision for the future of secondhand/thriftingAlong the way, we’ll talk an awful lot about Precious Moments and we’ll wonder where all of the Ed Hardy stuff ended up at the end of the 00s.Also: Amanda shares why she is feeling optimistic right now.Follow Bargain Thrift Center on Instagram: @bargainthriftcenterGet your Clotheshorse merch here: https://clotheshorsepodcast.com/shop/If you want to share your opinion/additional thoughts on the subjects we cover in each episode, feel free to email, whether it’s a typed out message or an audio recording: amanda@clotheshorse.worldDid you enjoy this episode?
