Greater Goods Vintage is, in shop owner Mikala’s words “a blind effort to create a cohesive, curated collection with the intent to use fabulous style to bring attention to and support charities who are doing a great job”.
Mikala does this by following her 3-Step Plan to Save the World With Vintage, and yes, in our convo she lays out the exact plan and how she is working it right now.
Mikala has a background in non-profit fundraising and so she has a real passion for helping charitable organizations that are doing good. This played a huge role in the founding goal and the intent/mission behind Greater Goods Vintage which is to show people how little it takes to make positive lasting change…
She does this by donating 10% of the proceeds she receives from all sales in her shop to the various charitable organizations she chooses to support.
