Pre-Loved Podcast: Amy Abrams

Today, I\\u2019m joined by Amy Abrams, a visionary entrepreneur whose career has been dedicated to creating environments that bring people together while helping independent creators and entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses.

You might know Amy and her husband, Ronen Gilmer from their vintage and marker shows, like Artists & Fleas, \\xa0the Upstate Vintage and Antique Show, Regeneration, and \\u2013 most recently \\u2013 the Manhattan Vintage show.

\\xa0Inspired by a lifelong love of travel and world markets, Amy and Ronen co-founded Artists & Fleas in 2003 as a retail marketplace for makers, vintage-lovers and collectors. Today there are five locations of Artists & Fleas, including in both New York, and California, and most recently Georgia. In 2019, they founded the Upstate Vintage and Antique Show to celebrate vintage, antiques, and makers in the Hudson Valley community. In April 2021, they launched the Regeneration market, which is dedicated to thrifted and pre-loved fashion, as well as upcycled and vintage \\u2013 the kinds of styles that appeal to the next generation of vintage lovers.

And in early 2022, they announced the acquisition of the beloved Manhattan Vintage, New York City\\u2019s most iconic and largest vintage show featuring the most extensive collections of vintage and antique clothing, jewelry, accessories and textiles in the world.\\xa0
