Durango's Fashion Maverick: How Kira Gullion is Upending Fast Fashion with Style and Sass!

Hold onto your wardrobes, folks! Fast fashion's colossal chaos is being tackled in none other than Durango! Imagine enough clothing to deck out the next six generations—sounds unreal, right? But that's our reality, and one extraordinary woman, Kira Gullion, is diving headfirst into this mad whirlpool.

At only 24, Kira is tearing up the fashion rulebook with her store, Lizard Head Trading Co., snugly nestled next to the Durango Diner. This isn't just any secondhand shop; it's the freshest place in town, offering jaw-droppingly easy same-day payouts with a sizzling buy, sell, trade model. New consignors are welcomed with open arms and plenty of style!

Born in the quaint town of Bayfield, Kira learned thrifting from her family's basement treasure chest—cutting her teeth on yard-sale fashion, much like a young sartorial pirate. A middle school moment of genius, selling thrift-store shoes for $100 on Ebay, sealed her fate as a queen of the recirculation game.

Kira's journey wasn't always this glamorous. A future in child psychology seemed dim when overshadowed by low pay. So, in a daring leap of faith, a deal was struck with her dad to transform his Bayfield property into Bee Thrifty—the town's very first thrift goldmine!

The path to Lizard Head wasn't all sunshine and rainbows either. Let's not sugarcoat it: securing the spot involved jumping through flaming hoops. The property hunt saga? Over 20 potential spaces turned into bitter-sweet memories before she finally snagged her current oasis. The challenges were real, folks, but who's counting when you come out victorious?

Fast forward to today, and Kira is championing a fashion revolution! She’s not just selling clothes; she's giving fashion a conscience. With 30% cash or 50% trade credit up for grabs, your wardrobe woes could have never been this thrilling!

And get this—Kira’s on road trips, sourcing choices from Denver to Los Angeles. It’s a race against time, saving treasures from the looming fate of landfill doom. Power to the sustainable wardrobe!

The secret sauce? Not just cool clothes, but cool vibes. A haven where fashion dreams come alive with an in-house seamstress ready to turn yesterday’s tears into today’s show-stoppers. And yes, camaraderie is key! Kira dreams big with plans for expanding her fashion empire from Fort Collins to Flagstaff. The excitement doesn’t stop here, folks!

In Kira's whirlwind of upcycled glory, her team is her real treasure. With staff emphasis on mental health and camaraderie, Kira's turning work-life into a positive fashion fiesta. Diversity seekers, they’re keen for male fashionistas to join the fun and support deeply rooted in store values.

Durango's fashion maven is on a roll, and she’s inviting you along for this wild journey. Ready to join the sustainable style movement? The invitation to "loiter responsibly" is yours—grab it before it’s gone!
