The challenge
Vintage is social. Marketplaces are not.
Collectors don’t just buy a jacket: they buy the era it came from and the story behind it. Classic marketplaces reduce a 1978 leather biker to a price and three photos, and every negotiation moves to another app.
Our answer
A social app where stories and listings live side by side. Sellers build a following; buyers save pieces, leave notes and make offers. The whole deal, from the first like to doorstep delivery, happens in one place.
Signature feature
Tell its story. Or sell the piece.
Two ways to share, one profile. A story shares a memory and can link straight to the piece; a listing puts it up for sale. Switch:
