EP237: Salvage & Sawdust, The Future of Vintage ft Jack & Lewis

In today’s episode, I sit down with Jack and Lewis, the founders of Brighton based vintage clothing store Salvage and Sawdust a name that’s been creating serious buzz in the vintage scene. We talk about how they both got started in the world of vintage fashion, what first sparked their passion for the craft, and how that passion has grown into a thriving business. We dive into the role technology plays in the ever-growing vintage industry, and how it’s shaping the way they buy, sell, search for, and connect with clothing. Jack and Lewis are buzzing about the future not just of their brand, but of vintage as a movement. Beyond buying and selling, they also specialise in restoring garments that have been fully worn but are far from finished. Their ability to breathe new life into clothing that might otherwise end up in landfill is a true talent, rooted in care, skill, and respect for the garment’s story. They also share the journey from running a small store to opening a huge new three floor space, set to open this week, and reflect on how far they’ve come along the way. Jack and Lewis’ enthusiasm for their world and their commitment to changing habits around overconsumption and waste is genuinely inspiring. A must listen for anyone interested in vintage fashion, sustainability, independent retail, and building something meaningful.
