As a Denver newcomer, Eden learned that thrifting in a new place is harder than it looks. That’s why she and her co-founders, Lauren and Lillian, started Denver Thrifts. Eden thinks that clothes should be something that brings excitement and joy to people’s lives and thinks that thrifting is the way to do it. Ever since she started thriting in high school, she has been obsessed with secondhand finds. Her closet and bank accounts, on the otherhand, might not be too happy with all the extra clothes.
