Online Thrift Store Brie Is Saving the Planet (and Your Wallet)
04/22/25 • 47 min
In Dinner for Shoes episode 69, host Sarah Wasilak invites founder of Brie, Malka Goldfein, onto the podcast for Earth Month. Brie is an online thrift store that Malka launched in 2021 to make a positive impact by supporting charities and keeping fashion waste out of landfills. With each purchase, shoppers are invited to dedicate a portion of their sale to an organization that helps to combat climate change and save the planet.
Of course, shopping secondhand clothing is already a sustainable practice, so Sarah complements the discussion with a list of highly-coveted fashion must haves in 2025 that are available at various vintage sites for a fraction of the price. She tries Malka’s go-to meal, beef tartare, from The District to round out the episode.

Previous Episode
BaubleBar's Festival Fashion Secrets | Sponsored by Seasalt Cornwall
In Dinner for Shoes episode 68, host Sarah Wasilak chats with BaubleBar co-founder Daniella Yacobovsky about how jewelry brands approach festival season trends. Daniella shares insight into how the team — that’s been operating since 2011! — taps into popular styles via search trends and social media. She also chats about launching the business alongside her best friend, Amy Jain, and explains how their personal style and taste influences and informs BaubleBar’s bestselling jewelry, charm kits, and accessories.
Sarah complements the discussion by focusing on her favorite looks from Coachella 2025 while reporting on trends she’s noticing celebrities and influencers wear, from futuristic space age grunge to sexy sport and Western bohemian with a touch of feminine whimsicality. She also tries a coconut bowl from Playa Bowls as a nod to the treat she’s always associated with music festivals.
