VTGCLT is popping up on April 27th at Camp North End for the eighth annual Spring Market! Come out and spend the day shopping with over 80 of the region’s best vintage & handmade vendors.  $7 early bird entry at 10am // $2 general admission 11am-5pm.

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 Public Interest CLT to their first Vintage Charlotte Market.  Public Interest specializes in a curated selection of nostalgic vintage clothing and accessories from the 80s+90s.  Here is Jess and Josh with their story and a sneak peak of what they are bringing to market:

In the winter of 2017, I (Jess) expressed interest to Josh about starting a business together. It was important to me, as a single mom, to create a legacy for my daughter and Josh wanted something to call his own. With just an idea to start a business, the concept of Public Interest CLT was born when Josh visited family in Virginia for Christmas. At the beginning of 2018, we began researching vintage and immediately fell in love with the product. It quickly became a lifestyle for the both of us!

The Spring Market will be held at the historic Ford Building at Camp North End on April 27, 2019 from 10am-5pm. This Spring Market will take the place of our 8th annual Summer Market.

Vintage Charlotte is now accepting vendor applications for The Spring Market. Click here for more information about vending at our events.

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 are gearing up for our Winter season and seeking an intern to come along for the ride! Is it you we’re looking for? 👀👀👀 This is a paid opportunity, and would be best suited for someone with an interest to learn the behind the scenes of large event coordination + marketing.
