ABOUT

Kristen Bradley and Sarah Minguela created The Vintage Roundup in 2021. Both longtime vintage lovers and sellers, they’d spent years sourcing, vending, and logging many miles in their vintage kiltie boots. The idea came naturally: build a curated vintage market where hardworking vendors could be seen, supported, and celebrated — a place where the vintage community could connect and champion sustainability.

Fast forward to today: The Vintage Roundup now features over 55 vendors, local food, and something old for everyone. It’s a seasonal, vintage‑only collective based in downtown Albany, NY, with occasional pop‑ups in surrounding areas. The duo has also expanded to host other markets, including Openbaar Market, which highlights handmade artists and community resources.

Kristen and Sarah’s focus has always been on creating an inclusive atmosphere and a community rooted in sustainability, good local food, and kick-ass, timeless vintage. This isn’t just a business — it’s a reflection of what they believe in.
