108. Cafe Forgot, Forever (Preview, Full Episode on Patreon Only)

Episode 108. In conversation with Vita Haas and Lucy Weisner of NYC's beloved Cafe Forgot, an independent experimental multi brand retailer located in the Lower East Side. We get into the early days before the store and how their concept came about, collaborating and showcasing their friends work, the fun stores that no longer exist in the city, the lessons that came from operating as a pop up shop, what it was like to finally have a permanent location, using intuition to curate their store, evolving with the designers they carry, what's needed for a self sustaining business, how important independent retail is for emerging designers, what they have learned from the designers they work with, how tough it is to be an indie retailer and an indie designer in NYC, is the retail landscape changing?
