Quick Tip! ...

Full of interesting Ideas, Untapped [re-workable] Biz Opps, and Much more of course...

Like it or Not... NEVER SAY NEVER! ... :)

Urban Outfitters sent us this statement:

"Our One-Of-A-Kind Vintage collection is a curated selection of vintage items that our buyers have found throughout their travels from various cities and locations. The items featured are carefully selected and handpicked by our buyers for their quality and uniqueness. In many cases, the items are designer labels. In the past we have featured vintage finds by Armani, Missoni, Pendleton, Dooney & Bourke, Ungaro, Norma Kamali and more. In no way are these items manufactured or reproduced for mass resale. They are truly one-of-a-kind, which means that once they’re gone, they’re gone. I would also like to note that the hangtag you referenced in the article is a hangtag for One-Of-A-Kind Vintage product only. A separate hangtag is used from Urban Renewal items."

Hipsters aren't just lining up to buy items curated from yard sales... ;)
