The Dump - Vol. 19 (Cold Weather Edition)

A weekly round-up of the finest secondhand things from around the internet

In the spirit of “everything feels enormously stupid yet exquisitely fragile” I skipped out on my Sunday newsletter and for once, tried to give myself a little grace in not adhering to my self-made publishing schedule, because it’s really ✨not that serious✨

I took a nap for the first time in years.
It was wonderful.
There will be a newsletter in your inbox this Sunday, and it will be worth the wait.

I’m trying out doing a “Dump” with a theme because it’s currently -16° Fahrenheit and I wish I was giving chic-fuzzy-Big-Bird energy like this gal in her 1960’s feather suit or had a (vintage) fur ensemble like Barbra or Sharon. It has led me down a very deep eBay rabbit hole - here are some of my finds!

Welcome to the weekly edition of “The Dump” — a roundup of curated vintage, secondhand, or handmade things I have bookmarked from around the internet that are looking for a new place to call home. No essays — just a collection of items I’ve come across in my treasure hunting adventures. Prices vary from affordable to luxury and this week, we’re exploring a theme.

Swoop up the riches, share it with your friends, let it inspire a secondhand hunt of your own and join in on saving something from ending up in “the dump.”

Have you purchased something through seeing it on Trash Panic? Reply to this newsletter (or DM) and send me a photo of you wearing it/how you’ve styled it/where it lives in your home/etc I would love to see!

If you make a purchase through a link, I might earn a commission, which I appreciate as it helps fund this space. Plus, a reminder that a portion of paid subscriptions and affiliate links this month will go towards donations to Los Angeles fire GoFundMe pages that have not yet reached their goals.

Consider upgrading to paid for even more vintage fun and supporting this corner of the internet✨
