Born & Raised in Seattle Washington, Got into thrifting when I was in high school (2017) . I worked at Trader Joe’s and there was a goodwill next door, on my lunch break I would go across the street and look every shift. Quickly I had way too much stuff and decided to sell on poshmark for some extra money. Me and my roommates at the time had a competition on whose side hustle could make the most money in a month. After a few months of winning i realized you can make some good money selling clothes. I eventually moved down to Tucson in 2021 and have been reselling ever since, and in 2025 made it my full time job. I’ve always had a passion for clothing and the way it lets you express yourself but discovering vintage, all the history these items hold and how they’re constructed keeps me excited and searching everyday.

My name is Brayden Nako I’m 23 years old and a recent graduate from the Eller College of Management. What got me into vintage was thinking the sports/wrestling graphic t-shirts were so cool towards the end of high school. This December will be 5 years of me starting my vintage page Nakosfaucet and buying and selling vintage! I’m looking forward to Slugfest because of the live music and seeing different communities come together.
