“Passion trumps finances.”

Rebecca & Aaron Glade of Dakota Vintage are full-time vintage hunters that scour the U.S. to find the best pieces for their collectors. With two beautiful children in tow, they create funny, informative, and engaging content for Instagram that connects the reality of managing daily life with a shared passion for vintage. They are “live” weekly on Instagram and manage six shops across multiple platforms to keep serving new collectors with many different interests.
