Who we are
Meet...
Sabrina
Sabrina Small is the founder of Tinker and Borrow, which is a vintage store for furniture, homeware, independent books, and fashion based in Wedding. From an early age, Sabrina was drawn to flea markets, thrift stores, and yard sales. These venues exist outside of commercial capitalism and honour a deeper part of our humanity, one in which we are trading and haggling with members of the community over the value of goods belonging to the deceased. It is a bit macabre, but Sabrina feels that the sterility and slickness of constantly shopping for new things has led to a devastating amount of waste. What’s more, by dipping into vintage and second hand, we are often able to find uniquely beautiful, well made objects that deserve a second life.
