The New Self-Service Flea Market Daisy Kirbukas<\/h2>\n

\u201cEverything became concrete very quickly once I finished the business plan and was granted start-up funding to establish the boutique,\u201d says Vanessa Kaalep<\/b>, owner of Daisy Kirbukas, about the early days of her business.<\/p>\n

The new self-service flea market operates on the second floor of a building next to the Arsenal Centre. In the spacious shop, products are divided into two rooms.<\/p>\n

Vanessa Kaalep wanted to create a self-service flea market that is also visually beautiful: \u201cI didn\u2019t want ordinary wooden clothing racks. Instead, we have these pink metal racks. We also created an online service for sellers, which makes transactions easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daisy\u2019s selection focuses on women\u2019s clothing, shoes, and accessories. There is a smaller selection of men\u2019s clothing, and some children\u2019s clothing, as well.<\/p>\n

At Boriseva Vintage, Only Imagination Is the Limit<\/h2>\n

When you step into Boriseva Vintage, you might accidentally stumble down a rabbit hole\u2014a world you return from completely transformed. I had exactly this experience myself when, by the end of the interview, I found myself dressed in a silver-shimmering puffer jacket, a tulle dress, and moon boots.<\/p>\n

The founder of Boriseva Vintage, fashion designer Olga Borisevich<\/b>, is known for her playful and body-friendly designs. Borisevich is getting dressed as I interview her. Fishnet tights, a whimsical dress, and matching sunglasses are all from the shop. Five minutes later, she is ready for the photo shoot.<\/p>\n

Borisevich previously ran a successful Kotipizza restaurant in Finland. Eight years ago, she moved to Tallinn, where she now focuses on her own clothing brand, custom-made pieces, and second-hand fashion.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of young people come into my shop. When they find something special, they call their parents and ask them to transfer a bit of money to their account. Soon the garment is purchased,\u201d Olga laughs.<\/p>\n

At the checkout, a mother and daughter are packing their purchases. \u201cI was here yesterday, and this skirt and blouse stayed on my mind. I had to come back!\u201d the mother says happily.<\/p>\n
