Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and Robbie burns is a very famous poet, we have a whole day dedicated to him which was actually yesterday x
Ooooo no way!?!? Okay that sounds awesome! I’ll look up his work!✨
@@twinelle yeah! I don’t know why it would be on a dress at all tho?
For me Thriftcon wasn’t really my taste, I’m not super big into vintage t-shirts (which was like 80% of the whole event). I’m glad we went to support some friends and overall I thought it was just okay.
Saaaaaaame!!!😕✨
I think thriftcon is for the people who don't go to thrift stores, but love the vintage style. Some people are bad at picking clothes, cant find anything, don't have the time to thrift or just don't like to pick through a bunch of clothes. Those people will gladly pay up for these events because everything is in one place. :)
I'm actually surprised how many t-shirt vendors vs fem vendors :/
Yeah totally see this for sure! Just with the name “thriftcon” I thought it would be somewhat more like a thrift store or something different than the already existing flea market scene in LA. There’s already at least 2 fleas in every sub neighborhood in LA that look just like thriftcon so was a lil disappointed. it just felt like an indoor flea (tshirt galore) with $12 admission🤷🏻♀️✨
HI QUEEN! Thank you so much for stopping by and for all your kind words. 🥺😭 To answer your question, I source at basically any thrift store I pass by and tend to look through most everything in the women's section at least! I do get a little wholesale now, but 90% is thrifted in the LA area. I do this fulltime so I'm digging 4-5 days a week. And ahhhh I totally missed that hole in the butterfly dress too. I'm going to DM you on ig because I have something I wanna send you 🥰
Ahh thanks for watching and commenting!!! Absolutely love your curated inventory!!! Honestly such a dream job! I’d love to source all day every day! At one point I wanted to be a buyer for goodwill but my ass can’t drive!😭I’ve been looking into rag houses but not very many focus in eccentric 90s/y2k aesthetic plus they’re pretty expensive too! Hope to run into ya while out sourcing or on a Flea day!💗✨
I’ve been waiting for this video. I loved thrifcon in 2019. I got some pretty cool things and got some genuine vintage for a steal. I think I spent around $150 and left with bags of stuff I’m still obsessed with. It’s also nice to network and make friends. Sucks I couldn’t go this time but this seems WAYYYY bigger than when I went. When I went there was way more variety. I think you would’ve loved a few of the vendors back then, they had the cutest vintage lingerie. Maybe a lot of the people from previous years didn’t return but there was definitely way more variety before. I think Thriftcon is more about people who thrift not actual thrift shops. Sometimes people come to trade thrifted items as well. Also I’m still obsessed with your orange pants.
Yeahhhh I’m thinking maybe it was one of those things that as thrifting became popular this event was able to capitalize more on it. But I was talking to another vendor the other day and apparently it was a first come first serve with how vendors could apply and that led to the inequality of vendors then they put on a livestreams to make up for it buuuuut I was actually part of those livestreams and even that was disorganized. They didn’t promote me as much as the other auctioneers maybe cause I sold on the last day aaaaand they promised not to deduct fees and still did! So I went back and forth via email to get my money back. But, those live-streamed Defs did not make as much as they could if invited to vend in person. So that kinda sucked especially for those who curated a collection. Hopefully they learn from this year and take in feedback and constructive criticism to make this event accessible and affordable for EVERYONE. Ooo the pants are from magma vintage not sure if they have orange left but last time I checked they had yellow in stock!
Hi! I Love your videos ❣❤
I'm from Belarus (it's small country near Russia, Poland and Ukraine) and in our country we have pretty similar event, it's called "open shkaf", which translates like open wardrobe. The idea of it is mostly the same, but there are much more handmade/remade clothes there , as well as some small businesses not related to clothes (ceramics, jewelry, eco or vegan products and ect.). Speaking about prices, they still more expensive than in thrift stores, but they are pretty affordable as well. And experience of coming there in general is really nice. I think it's because of cozy decorations and soft music:)
Thank you for your videos ❤💕
Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and Robert Burns is a famous Scottish poet so nothing to worry about!! also loved the vid!
Nooowwww time to google all of this!😄✨
Aa your whole personality is so amazing i could watch ur vids foreverr
Ahhhh you’re the best! Thanks so much for watching and supporting!😭💗✨
You guys seem perfect for each other!😁So cute!💕
Hehe thaaanks so much! It’s gonna be 8 years together!💗
@@twinelle Wow!😳That's longer than a lot of marriages!!☺💕
I absolutely loved your video friend! I think you talked about some very good points and overall informational for thrifters and resellers.🤗
I definitely understood when you mentioned shop owners not paying any mind to there customers it happenes to me all the time and makes me feel less likely to purchase from the seller because of the lack of customer service. ☝🏽
Yessss!!! And that’s something I love about you and how you run your shop! You’re always so attentive to ppl who walk into your space and at least greet them! It’s always positive vibes! Wish they were more like youuu💗✨
Thankyou Friend😭 it’s the 16yr old retail girl in me 😅
The naked hello kitty was from build a bear! I would of grabbed that so fast 😆
Ahhhhh I had no idea!!! Just soooo caught off guard lol 😂
Glad to see you back to ya healthy, glowing self!!
Ahhhh actually this was before I tested positive for Covid!😭I just took forever to edit this video!!!✨
GIRL you are so stylish I’m enamored by you always 😌❤️🔥
Ahhhh you’re so sweeet!!! Thank you!😭💗✨
I think the only one really benefiting is the venue, they get money from the customers and the vendors. Vendors are trying to make a profit from their investment so that's probably why everything is stupid pricey so yeah it's a CON for sure lol
Ooooo yeahhh Defs think it’s stupid essspensive but heard that not all vendors did well so sucks that they invested so much time curating a collection and didn’t even break even with cost of their booth😬hopefully thriftcon takes in all the feedback for a more accessible and affordable event next year!
@@twinelle it's such a shame, the vendors out there struggling to make a living probably investing money they don't have while the venue is raking in thousands even after paying off employees, it's the same with beauty con, I worked in the beauty industry for awhile and went many times but it really wasn't worth it
NAKED HELLO KITTY?!!?!!!
NAAAAAAKED!!!!!😳✨
Literally obsessed with all of your videos
Ahhhhh thanks so much for watching!💗✨
obsessed with ur thriftcon outfit!!! 💌
Thaaaanks!!! I thrifted that skirt sooo long ago and it was my first time wearing it!🤩🤩🤩
NO I WANT THAT ONE DIRECTION SHIRT AT 8:28 I LOVE IT 😭😭😭😭
Hello Twinelle!! Hope you’re doing well
Heyyyyy!!! Yussss I’m doing awesome just supa busy! I’m literally responding to comments rn while taking a bathroom break😂✨
first floor was for thift hype beasts for sure
EXACTLYYYYY!!!! really did feel that womens apparel was more of an after thought for this event 😕
That flames shirt is you in a shirt! 🔥 okay zuko's lover 😂
I’d join the fire nation soooo quick tho😄❤️🔥✨
welcome back twinelle i am happy u being good ^.^ i am so excitting to see what u will thrift with Arthur :3
Ahhh thanks so much for being here and watching!!!💗💗💗✨
44 degrees in phoenix this morning! Highs today 69
-20 in wisconsin this morning 😆
Ahhhh I’m a lil late to the convo buuuut todays weather we have a low of 45 and high of 73. Hope you’re doing well!✨
@@bridgetquinones oooooooof I could neverrrrr! Hope you’re keeping warm!❤️🔥✨
this cat graphic long sleeve is so cute
I think the people who host/organize this events are worser than the resellers. I wonder if any of this vendors lost money. Its cheaper to get a spot at the rosebowl to sell.
Ooooo for sure some vendors didn’t do as well as others. There were a handful of resellers selling Zara and modern clothing which didn’t make total sense to me and I can’t imagine they made enough to cover the cost of their space. But vending is tough especially when ya never really know the turn out until the day of😕✨
I'm so glad I found your channel! You are a huge inspiration to me!
8:09 Its giving ✨Walmart✨
So glad you didn't get it
Hahahahhaa girlllllllllllll😂 oooof with a $500 price tag HARD PASS uh uh my bank account would be crying💸💸💸
Hold on I see it 😭😭😭
@@abreda1313 just cause it’s a name brand designer doesn’t mean everyone has to appreciate it. Designer items won’t meet everyone’s taste. And that’s okay! 👍🏼 ✨
my inspo!!!! just filmed a thrift with me today 🥰
Awesomeeee!!! Hope ya found some gems!❤️🔥✨
was that a fingerboard table at 4:25? like tech decks and stuff that’s so awesome
YUUUUUSSSSSSSS!!!! I had never seen one so big before! Vendors really went out to draw in customers!✨
There was a One Direction t shirt! Ik you probably aren't a fan but I would've bought that shirt without hesitation! Maybe thriftcon is something for me to check out!
"i could be zuko's lover"
Hehehe frrrrrrr 😄❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
wow what is the point of thriftcon? if you like thrifting, why would you go shop resellers with those high prices instead of actually going thrifting or shopping resellers online? i get it more with the piles of cheap stuff but it seems like it wasn't interesting stuff, so i'm not sure what the advantage is over going to goodwill outlets or other places that do the pile-of-cheap-stuff approach. it seems like more for people who don't like the experience of thrifting but want to buy thrifted things in person and are willing to pay more for it? it doesn't even seem like much curated in terms of vintage from different time periods. but maybe they're just curated in a different way for particular aesthetics that i don't understand.
also, maybe unpopular opinion, but i don't think this is a con? it seems like basically a flea market that has a focus on thrifted things. i am not a fan of people calling everything a con just because they want to get crowds there. but if they had like panel discussions of thrifting strategy and social events and special guests and such, then i would understand calling it a con.
I meannnn I can’t speak on the t-shirts since I’m not too knowledgeable on them but the vendors selling womens apparel Defs we’re curated and had clothes from a specific decade so I saw 70s, 90s, and Y2K. But you’re TOTALLY RIGHT!!! Maybe I’m so used to living in LA and them calling literally any big indoor event a convention that It totally slipped my mind! thriftcon was NOT a convention at all. Yes, it gathered like minded ppl but not necessarily thrifters…more like resellers. I cut out so much of me talking in this video cause I didn’t want it to be too long but before the edits I did talk about how it felt like a big indoor flea market. Aaaand there’s already so many in each sub neighborhood that this felt like the ultimate flea with ultimate essspensive prices! Fleas in the area have cheaper admission and cheaper priced items! But no discussion panels or event to attain knowledge on clothes, reselling, fashion history, nothing!!! If they rebranded to vintagecon they could pay the vendors to share their knowledge on idk how to spot a certain decade when sourcing, how to wash vintage clothing, how to style…, etc. reallyyyy Hope thriftcon takes in all the constructive criticism because I’d love to attend again if they focused more on the clothes/vendors than capitalizing off “thrifting” but thanks for commenting! Defs had me thinking more about this event!!!✨
i loved anime T-shirts ^.^, but they have a very expensive price :(
Yeah a few of them definitely get pricey for sure but shameless plug for Arthur’s website cause his shirts are reasonable priced✨ Hahha DarudereSociety.com he designs them himself!
so weird to hear u acknowledging edinburgh hahaha i go to uni there !!
Uhmmmm I googled it and it’s BEAUTIFULLLLL!!! 🤩OMGG I can stare at the architecture all day!!! Also can’t believe geographically we’re so far from each other soooo happy we connect with CZcams!💗✨
@@twinelle yes honestly one of my reasons for choosing it was how beautiful it is😭!! and yess all the support from scotland
ughh i love you 💗💓
Looooove yaaaa💗💗💗
@@twinelle ur the best 💞💞
So y'all are telling me you have *thriftcons* while in my country there aren't even regular thrift shops-?
I always love ur fits 😔😔✊
Thank youuuuuu🥺💗✨
i have this i guess you can call it a pop up shop a lot of mixed businesses from jewelry perfumes clothes shoes etc put their things up there and it only costs $15 for your own booth ☺️
thrift con sounds depressing tbh :(
Defs not for everyone but I felt like I was disassociating a lot while I was there cause of all the people and blasting music!😬😬😬
It is misleading ur right!!
Hoping thriftcon takes all the feedback and constructive criticism to hold a more accessible and affordable event next time!✨
Yoooo info for the guy who sold the rugs?
Awwwww I only took the info from vendors I purchased from! Sorriesss😭😭😭😭😭😭
I can sure relate to all of those Tshirts!! Earlier this week I stopped into this small store that had the word Weird in its name, hoping to see some interesting but weird stuff (as it is always fun looking at such stuff)... But like it was mostly giant man sized T-shirts! And they were way over priced too! $20 & $30 each! The black ones were mostly faded as well. And not a single woman's T-shirt anywhere in sight either. Besides shirts they had a few figurines and used video games. Totally boring place. But no odd smells in that place. Walked out disappointed. And most of those shirts were men's XL and had boring graphics. The black shirts looked faded too. 😞 nothing for little ladies.
Great video
Ahhh thanks so much for watching! Hope you’re doing well!💗✨
Can anyone tell me who is the owner of the booth where twinelle loved the rug and with naked hello kitty!?
Have you been to the fair fax high school flea market Sunday ?
Yuuuuussssss! The melrose trading post right? I think the vibes are pretty cool but definitely outta budget for me. I’ve been 3 times and usually don’t walk out with anything😭✨
They probably have to price items higher Bc the spaces are so expensive to rent
what store was the lime green to dye skirt??? yum
i'm confused. I thought you had covid? are you okay now?
Haha thriftcon was back in December I just haven’t had time to edit this video! But I’m Covid free now! That video was also pre recorded and I had Covid the end of December/start of january! Was only sick for 3 days😃✨
That dress.... boy I'd be narked if I found damage after spending that much. Looks like a mish-mash of a T-shirt and dress someone has badly sewn together. The fire top though- is am-az-ing !
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
💗💗💗💗
AAA DO U LIKE SPIRITED AWAY
I loooooove spirited away!! I have a no face tattoo!💗✨
Are you and Arthur dating or roommates ?
Haha we’re dating! It’ll be 8 years for us this May💗✨
That dress look like it was made by someone who is using a sewing machine for the very first time and they didnt care at all about using it properly 😭
$500 dress is pucci. That's so sad you call yourself a reseller and cant do your own research before posting a video
Every reseller has their knowledge on the clothes they specialize in. I can’t tell ya a thing about pucci except my opinion on the design, color, silhouette. And for me, not my thing. I personally don’t like it so I don’t think it’s worth $500. You may be new to my channel but I always mention that I don’t know fashion history especially if I come across vintage. This video was regarding thriftcon as an event not evaluating every individual vendor and their merchandise. Every item regardless of look and price has a buyer…I wasn’t that buyer. Have a good one!✨
@@twinelle Fair enough, tbh that's my booth and I watched you show up take a video of the tag and leave.(it was also the most $$ item in the booth)
@@abreda1313 ahhh! I walked into every vendors booth cause I was shopping for myself + filming. I wasn’t just looking for expensive priced items. Your booth just wasn’t my style or within my budget. But that’s fine because as a vendor, we find our own niche and sell to them. I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful but was showing the reality that thriftcon had a wide range of priced items.
