I have already learned so much about how the used clothing industry works, and how vintage is an extention of that process. In response to your question about the business "sharing" space with this vintage concept, do you recall all the excitement about bamboo fiber t-shirts here on TC beginning with a post from Bamboo Ben in the summer of 2004? You may have purchased some of these from either him, or from Rich Delano of Bamboo Textiles. Well, just like all of you on TC, I was also intrigued with bamboo as a source for textile fiber. I have done a lot of research, and am currently working with a Chinese factory to develope a garment for a client of mine. This is all wholesale, so there will be no mixed concept store at all. Your response is exactly the kind of input that I'm looking for. Thank you so much for this insight and advice. Kindly, BD
