On today's show, we're chatting with Yuri Carter, an Atlanta-based vintage and archival fashion  connoisseur. After many years working in the luxury consignment business where she learned tricks of the trade, she established Yuri's Market in 2017, as a premier destination for curated vintage and high-quality fashion.

Yuri's Market has evolved into a comprehensive marketplace, and a physical archival and vintage shop in Atlanta, further solidifying Yuri's Market's presence in the vintage fashion industry. This one is for the vintage designer enthusiasts – I loved Yuri's stories and I know you will, too  – so, let's dive right into it!

Every week, Emily Stochl invites you into a conversation that goes far beyond the clothing rack. Pre-Loved Podcast with Emily Stochl is built on the idea that every second-hand garment has a past, and that exploring those histories makes our present style more meaningful. Rather than just offering shopping tips, each episode feels like sitting down with a fascinating friend who shares your passion for vintage, digging into the many layers of what it means to wear pre-owned fashion. You’ll hear from a diverse range of guests-from collectors and stylists to entrepreneurs and historians-as they explore not only personal style but also the practicalities of running a resale business, the complexities of the global second-hand market, and the environmental ethos behind choosing used over new. The heart of this podcast lives in those incredible stories: the serendipitous flea market find, the garment that carries a decade of memories, or the simple, powerful act of giving a piece a new life. Emily guides these discussions with genuine curiosity, making each topic accessible whether you're a seasoned thrifter or just curious about sustainable fashion. It’s a thoughtful, engaging look at how what we wear connects to culture, art, beauty, and the kind of mindful consumption that can reshape an industry. Tune in for a fresh perspective that celebrates the character, sustainability, and deep personal connection found in pre-loved fashion.
