Today's episode is with Lucille of Galipette Vintage, based in the Hudson Valley of New York. Lucille started thrifting in college, and fell in love with the world of vintage clothing – she felt like she had to share it! In 2009, she started Galipette Vintage, and now almost 15 years later, it has transformed from a side-project to her full time professional job.

Today Galipette can be found online via its website and Instagram page, as well as at shows like Manhattan Vintage, at their collection at The Newburgh Vintage Emporium Warehouse, and markets and pop ups like ReGeneration and Phoenicia Flea among others.

We chat about how she made it happen, why she's in love with vintage, the pieces that make her swoon, and the handpicked nature of everything she curates for Galipette. All that and more on today's show, so let's just dive right in!
