Asia Marquis‘s love for thrifting started when she was a kid visiting second-hand stores with her mom and grandma. “I always say: I’m not new to this – I’m true to this.”
Marquis grew up without name-brand clothes or designer items but quickly learned that thrifting could help her develop her own style. “I’ve just been able to figure out exactly how I want to express myself to the world through my fashion.”
Now, Marquis has a group she started called the Thrift Sistas Club in Dayton, Ohio, where she and a group of women meet monthly and thrift together.
