Thoroughly enjoyed your presentation, Alissa. I published a book when I was 64, created a website, purchased my URL, webhost fees,, etc. I'm adept at many of the subjects you spoke to in your video. That said, I'm a newbie at creating a virtual store to sell my vintage collection. A "niche" is impossible for me because my collection spans sixty years. I began my collection in my 20s, I'm now 77. I have items (thousands is an understatement) encompassing all ages. My mother was a magnificent seamstress. At a very young age she taught me about fine fabric and workmanship. Most of my garments are silk, linen, cashmere, fine wools, cotton, Rayon, blends and more. Everything I own is timeless and classic; many are one of a kind. Over many decades, I've kept excellent care of everything I own. Most I've never worn. Obviously for me, sourcing is not an issue. Because my garments are so beautiful, so unique and "truly" vintage I know they'll bring a diverse and wide audience. I'm leaning to connect with eBay to begin and then I'll go from there. I'm readying my collection now and very excited to share them with vintage lovers. Thank you for all your wisdom. Your posts have helped me a lot. Namaste

Thank you, I’m getting so discouraged with my vintage boutique. Looking into ways to get more attention, it’s been almost a year… trying me best not to give up!! VinTeaka Boutique. Keep inspiring!!

This is an EXCELLENT RESOURCE GUIDE!! Favorite video of yours!!!

Thank you for the tips! One recommendation for your shipping packages, is to use paper envelopes or recycled packaging, like Eco Enclose. Since we are making an effort to not support fast fashion and reduce apparel waste, we should also be conscious of how we are packaging vintage items and avoid using plastics that are even worse than the fast fashion epidemic itself. I hope you can relate to my viewpoint and make a conscious move forward to combat the ecological crisis. Thank you!

I used to sell on ebay, mercurial, etc. years ago, I've come into a lot of vintage clothes & want to start selling. I found a really unique SAMSUNG phone sweater vest, blue with white rotary phone print! It's probably one of the coolest things I've found. I plan on starting an online shop asap, thank you for your tips!

Hiiii I just want to say that this video was INCREDIBLY HELPFUL thank you so much 💜💜💜💜💜. I'm also a Harry Styles stan so I got obsessed with the concept around your shop

Definitely the most helpful guide on youtube. Thank you so much!!💜

Awesome advice! Im thinking about making an etsy shop and selling my art prints and vintage dresses. I will say though, there are some stores on etsy that sell vintage for cheap. Usually they are not cleaned and the garment is staged horribly in the photo but they can still be in good condition.

You’re so sweet and genuine. Ty for the free tips

Thank you so much !!! I’m so excited to make the step in opening my store 😫💚

Very insightful and thorough! Thanks love!

Hey Alissa! Love this video! How do you decide how many items to post for a drop?

Thanks VERY informative. Don't think I'll try this for a 1st biz venture. I will check out your clothing. Good luck. Namaste, Z.

Thank you for this!

I just discovered this video and I have re watched at least 3 times. I feel like I've taken something new away each time. I am just beginning the process of putting my business plan together. When you initially started did you use personal capital to purchase your inventory or what form of funds were you able to start with?

Super helpful, Thankyou :)

Hello. I have some questions. 1. Can you find thrift buys, add some patches or accessories to the clothing and then resell? 2. What are some more ways to put into your business so you don't have people coming after you like "this shirt made my skin rash up" and they try to hurt you and your business? I think the legal stuff scare me.

Did you ever make a follow up video for cleaning and listing?

can you do a how to video tutorial explaining how you use lightroom to edit and which features in lightroom are best for fashion edits please. There are so many features in it. Ive used it, but a tutorial example of some fashion edits and what tools you use would be so great. Thank you.. i thumbs upped and subscribed..

Hey! love the video :) what kind of camera are you using to take pics?

Designer vintage is my favorite 1:15

I’m selling harry styles phone cases on depop & ebay, I’m trying to find something harry related to sell which would be give me more profit but ahhh it’s so hard but I have ideas

Loved this video! It was so helpful!! :) My small biz is called Lelio!! I have my own products I design, but I am planning on having a "thrifted" part of my store too! Wish me luck :)

Thank you for sharing the tips and advices! I have a question-how the return customer can use a discount coupon? Just tell you that he has one and you adjust the price? How many times the customer can use one coupon? If once then its hard to track if she used it or not. I used to sell on Etsy and the coupon system was very easy and automatic, but with Insta I scratch my head figuring this all out

Thanks for this video!! So helpful! :) Do you have a policy return?

started out with square space and had to move everything to Shopify! can't properly add sales tax on square space FYI!

This is awesome, one question do you accept returns?

Amazing shop & video. Also, you remind me of Arden rose lol you probably get that a lot!

Are you wearing a silver time turner necklace?? Asking because I have one just like yours!😁 Congrats on your online business!🥳

thank you for your reply , but i read in vinted's wikipedia that poland belong to vinted system and iam from there but i have talked with so many european sellers that are outside poland that told me they can't send me the items ?!! if you have some informations can you pls tell me how can i solve this problem,? thank you

Happy June! Love these tips. I have a vintage store on Etsy with a little over 200 sales but lately things have slowed down so I’m thinking about posting my items on tiktok. I’m just wondering did you create a tiktok account for your business? Or did you just post on your regular tiktok?

what printer do you use?

thank you so much for sharing! just a quick question, how much did you have to save to start your business?

Do you ship internationally or only domestically? 💛

Hello can u please tel me. From where do thrift owners get asos, oh Polly brand gown from

Thank you so much for this video ❤️. I’m a college student and I want to start a Fresh Prince inspired online vintage clothing store. I’m gonna start sourcing items from thrift stores, kilo sales and online marketplaces. Then I will open a Shopify store and start branding and marketing.

Can you do a tour of your shop

Thanks

Good tips.

Can I ask what program you use to edit your KZfaq videos

Good video!

Nice video! I want to do tik tok and Pinterest for Marketing :)

Hi! I love your channel. I’ve been always very confused with the term “vintage”. How can I assure that something as vintage? Is only because I the brand is confirmed to be old? Is because the item is used? Could you please help me to understand? ❤️

I want to sell my leather products in wholesale. But how where?

Have you found a dependable wholesale supplier yet?

Just tried to look up your site... What happened?

My page is not doing well
