Making it Rad

Vendor Spotlight – Danielle Bassler

How did you get started at Vintage Marketplace?

I had my eye on Vintage Marketplace for years. Kim would message me any time a booth might be opening, but the timing was never quite right. Life threw a lot at me — pregnancy, surgery, no inventory — but I never let go of the dream. I kept saying, “One day, we’ll be there.” And finally, the stars aligned. I went for it, and just like that — we were in! Now Booth 58 is packed with all the rad, bold, feel-good vibes I’ve been waiting to bring to life.

Do you have an area of specialty?

Yes! Making things RAD. I’m all about bold fashion, feel-good decor, and those, “Wait, where did you find that?!” pieces. We’re not stuck in one era — we’re full on ‘ThrowbackThursday’ energy every day, taking nostalgia to the next level. Whether it’s reworked vintage or a wild velvet pantsuit, if it sparks joy, it belongs here.

What is your favorite part of reselling?

Helping people live out loud and feel proud of who they are. I love when someone finds a bold piece that fits their vibe perfectly — something that lets them express themselves in a way that feels real. Whether it’s a statement outfit or a funky piece for their home, I’m here for the moments that say, “This is me, and I love it.”
