Sustainably Sourced #1
Welcome to Sustainably Sourced! I decided to take my favorite activity, vintage hunting (now limited to the web), and create a new column. I’ve invited my friends to curate selections of their saves.
I asked New York City-based art director Walker Tovin (@walkertovin) to share some of the vintage pieces he’s been eyeing.
