“I didn’t realize until later that thrifting saved my life.”
 

When Adele started thrifting with her grandma as a little girl, she never imagined it would someday save her life. In 2016, as Adele got clean from hard drugs and a life off track, she rekindled her love for thrifting and discovered reselling. Today, she credits it for much of her success in recovery and her story comes full circle as she found Resale4Recovery, an organization that uses reselling as vocational training for people in recovery (@vintagevoodoostudio).
