On today’s show, we’re chatting with Olivia DeIyamu, the owner of the online vintage store Ode Vintage, and co-owner of a Cleveland, OH based brick and mortar vintage collective, called Slow Union.

Olivia has selling vintage since 2013, getting her start on Etsy and at area flea markets. On today’s show, she shares the story of how she got where she is today, and how she hand selects quality and aesthetic vintage for her shop. We even chat about our shared love for vintage Westernwear! This is a fun one, and I think you’re going to really enjoy it, so let’s dive right into it!
