Dated, Faded, & Worn: A Photo Essay

On 9.15.19, I asked a single question: Of all that you brought today for sale, what would you have the hardest time parting with?

This is D3 The Concrete, bringing you fashion from the street.

Here’s a photo essay that took me some time to prepare for you, about the event that I went to this past Sunday.

Three parties, Dated Faded & Worn, the Dallas/Fort Worth area swap-meet, founded by @B214MAC, Houston local vintage Youtube phenom, @MrPaulCantu, and UK founded app for entrepreneurs, @Depop, partnered to bring the event to fruition.

The event was also co-sponsored/co-signed by all of the following local vendors: @RoundHouse_Vintage, @vintageaffiliated, & @bouncebackhtx.

As you view the photos, remember this question, which was asked of all of these vendors: of all that you brought today for sale, what would you have the hardest time parting with?
