Hi! My name is Jim Chiang, and I've always been a fan of fashion. But among all its different categories, vintage stands out, because each piece carries a history that can't be replicated, a story that belongs to a specific moment in time. That's what makes it fascinating, and that's what keeps pulling me deeper into it.

But as the second-hand market grows, so does the pressure on the stores that built it. Online platforms like Shopee have changed the game. It gives vintage shops a new stage, but that new stage doesn't always align with what vintage is actually about. What happens when a platform built for cheap meets a store built for meaning?

In this episode, I sit down with Yoyo, founder of Art11 Vintage in Tainan, to talk about what it really means to sell vintage in Taiwan today. Enjoy the episode!
