Sol (@solthompson) and Michael (@_smithstagram) are back this week with collector/tastemaker/karaoke superstar/sushi connoisseur/One Piece historian Arianna Cho (@ariavicho / @ariannasclosetarchive). Join the trio as they chat about some of the pieces she's selling, rare bits and baubles (like the incredible eye buttons), favorite Undercover seasons, working at Issey Miyake and at Rick Owens, buying her first pair of Tabis on layaway (sorta), how people don't understand sizing, activating Michael's sleeper agent phrase, fusion food (or lack thereof), and so much more!

We hope you enjoy listening to the episode just as much as we did making it!

Lots of Love!

Sol
