On today's show, we're chatting with Abe and Connor, the co-founders of Distressed Fest, which is a vintage event promoting distressed vintage as wearable art. If you're listening to this live, Distressed Fest is headed to Brooklyn March 29th, and you should go check it out if you enjoy this episode.
On to our guests today, Abe is from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, but now he runs a vintage showroom in Brooklyn. He has a fine arts background and is a vintage clothing appraiser on PBS's Antiques Roadshow. His business partner, Connor, is Distressed Fest's west coast conter-part, hailing from San Diego where he's been dealing distressed vintage clothing for some time now.
We chat about what makes distressed clothing so special and their most incredible finds on today's show. It's a really interesting one and I think you're really gonna love it – so let's dive right in!
