In this episode, we explore the rich world of vintage fashion with Mikey Caunter, the founder of Peekaboo and the Peekaboo Marketplace. Mikey takes us on a journey through his early days at Portobello Road, selling vintage long before sustainability became a mainstream movement, and shares how his love for vintage evolved into a thriving business and a platform for slow fashion advocacy.
With decades of experience in the vintage scene, including milestones like selling vintage in Topshop and opening a store on Carnaby Street, Mikey offers a unique perspective on the growing intersection of vintage and sustainability. We delve into how consumer interest in vintage has shifted, its role in responsible fashion, and the importance of supporting small, independent brands in the sustainable fashion space.
Mikey also discusses the challenges and opportunities brought by the pandemic, which led to the creation of Peekaboo Marketplace—a curated platform championing slow fashion and connecting consumers with ethical brands. From his methods of engaging conscious consumers to his vision for the future of vintage in the sustainability movement, Mikey's insights highlight why vintage is a timeless and vital part of sustainable fashion.
Join us to discover why vintage isn’t just a nostalgic choice but a crucial step toward a more sustainable fashion future.
