We are thrilled to offer these Mini Mentor Sessions again with our founder, Amy Herman. Participants can expect product and branding feedback as well as insight on how to push business forward both in Charlotte and beyond.

Interested? Act fast! There are only 8 times available and each time we have offered these, they have sold out quickly! Click here for tickets and more information: https://vtgclt.ticketleap.com/vtgclt-mentor-session/

Feedback from previous mentor sessions:

“Your advice and counsel has really stuck with me since our meeting. […] I wouldn’t have pursued this collaborative path if you and I hadn’t talked, and I’m so very grateful. I hope we can have a check-up meeting the next time you offer your mentoring sessions. Thanks again, so much.”

“This was so great for my brand. Sometimes you are so close to your brand that you know something isn’t right but you just need to hear it from someone else. Amy delivered the bum kicking I needed and helped me re-think aspects of my business and get 2017 off to an amazing start.”

We focus on wearable, affordable vintage with a rock and roll vibe and that indescribable ‘it factor.’ We’re your stop for jaw-dropping holiday party dresses, tooled leather bags, vintage furs (and faux furs), and perfect leather motorcycle jackets.

Winter Market Vendor Spotlight: Posy

Leading up to the market, we’ll be sharing vendor spotlight posts that give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors in advance of the market. We are really excited to welcome Laura from Posy to her first Vintage Charlotte Winter Market. Posy specializes in quality, personal, and purposeful vintage goods. Here is Laura with some of her favorite customer stories and a sneak peak of what she is bringing to market:

At a recent market, I met a new customer, Joshua, who was interested in a 1970’s world globe. He ends up buying it and comes back for his purchase toward the end of the event, saying, “You know how you buy something, and you feel immediate remorse, wondering why you bought that thing? This isn’t one of those times! I love this globe and will keep it forever!” His joy at finding something meaningful was so uplifting! Much like the guy who bought dominoes for his uncle who’d just taught him to play. Or the customer who bought a drinking glass from the World Fair in NYC because he’d been there, the year the glass stated, and had fallen into the fountain, only to have his dad jump in and rescue him. And I love the instance a customer bought a yellow and red floral recipe box because it’s the same one his mom had, and he stayed in my booth texting all his siblings to confirm and share in the excitement.

Posy started off as a love for vintage and has morphed into a matchmaking service, pairing folks with an item that has true meaning to them!

Winter Market Vendor Spotlight: Deliberate Designs

Posted by VTGCLT | events, vendor spotlight | No Comments

Leading up to the market, we’ll be sharing vendor spotlight posts that give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors in advance of the market. We are really excited to welcome Griffin from Deliberate Designs to their first Vintage Charlotte Winter Market. Deliberate Designs specializes in handmade home decor and textile pieces. Here is Griffin with a look behind the scenes and a sneak peak of what she is bringing to market:

Deliberate Design manifested after a trip to Big Bend National Park. During this trip I woke up every morning with the intention to live deliberately. Small tasks that typically seem pesky in my day to day routine such as waking up at sunrise, brewing coffee or cooking meals shifted to being tasks that I would naturally look forward to. Today it is easy to search for instant gratification, but the work you put into the process is what makes the outcome worthwhile. I learned to fall in love with the process.
