“You have to be informed, advocate, be loud, and be an ally.”

Kelsey is a lifelong thrifter, who attributes her passion for shopping secondhand to weekend outings spent with her mom and grandma. By day, she works as a marketing manager in the fashion world but by night, she's curating thoughtful, preloved pieces for her vintage shop, Naura Thrift (@naurathrift). Featured in publications like Elle Canada and The Globe & Mail, Kelsey's passion for pairing sustainability with fashion has become a big part of who she is. So much so that you can catch her via her personal Instagram (@kelseyy__d) where she shares her ongoing journey of developing her personal style, showing off her latest thrifted finds, and tips for anyone new to the thrill of secondhand shopping.
