Back in December of 2019, I launched a pre-sale for Classic Six, and I want to tell you about the backstory, because it is a BIG part of how we are forging ahead!

The Pre-sale Backstory

Have you ever gotten a sign in your life that convinced you that you were moving in the right direction? Or even the wrong direction? Have people randomly come into your life just as you need them? Have truly coincidental things ever happened to you that lead you down a totally different path than you could have expected? Well...this sort of thing JUST happened to me.  

Do you believe in signs?

Curious as to why the name Classic Six? Well, here is the story! And it's truly one of my favorites to tell! 

Classic Six. The Brand. Not the Apartment.

I always felt in a rush. I wasn’t making decisions based on a connection. I was making decisions based on speed. That was the lightbulb moment. This exact circumstance is the epitome of “Fast Fashion.” SPEED and pressure to buy.Most people aren’t thinking anymore. They are just buying. Buying because it's cheap. Buying because they think they need. Buying not out of love, but out of impluse.I started to think...maybe more people than we know are buying just to buy, and even because they feel they have to. Do you guys ever feel this way? We think more stuff is going to create more looks, and the reality is, it just isn’t. My story is a perfect example of that. Would love to hear your thoughts on the topic!Do you sometimes buy just to buy?Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the amount of STUFF you have?Do you wish you had less stuff, but more to actually wear?(Photos of my loft closet, here!)

This is my first podcast!I need to tell you all about a documentary I watched last year that, I guess now, in retrospect, may have changed the trajectory of my career!One of the main reasons I started Classic Six was my new found stance on fast fashion, and it was only until I started shopping fast fashion in excess for Platinum Penny, did I realize the environmental and social impacts of my choices.
