Two Voices, One Obsession
Vintage clothing isn't understood through tags and eras: it's understood through the people who kept it alive. This pack tells that story twice: once as a chorus, once as a single collector's life's work.

We built AVANT on a simple belief: the most interesting thing about a garment is rarely the garment itself: it's who kept it, why, and what it meant to them. The Vintage Discovery Pack brings together two ways of telling that story.
The Voices Behind Vintage Clothing (AVANT Magazine Volume 7) gathers the collectors, dealers, and archivists who've spent their lives finding, preserving, and passing on American vintage clothing in their own words. It's the closest thing to sitting across the table from the people who define the field.
Eric Maggiori's Collection Archive (Volume 2) turns the lens on one of them. A limited edition of 1,500 copies, never reprinted, it traces the provenance and story behind pieces from one of the most serious Americana collections assembled outside the US built by AVANT's own co-founder over more than two decades of collecting.
Read together, they move from the community to the individual, from why people collect, to what a collection built with real conviction actually looks like.
