Howdy!

my name is hannah,

(affectionately called “Hann” on occasion) and I love secondhand stuff. Whether it’s a thrift shop, vintage store, estate sale, or even a friend’s bag of unwanted items soon to be donated, I believe there are treasures to be found just about anywhere. 

Growing up, I thought of secondhand shops as a hack of sorts. While I watched my peers ask their parents for money to spend on fast fashion at the mall, I earned my cash from my frugal parents and spent it on the same name-brand clothing as my peers at a fraction of the price from a thrift store or consignment shop. At the time, secondhand shopping was my way to fit in in a cost-effective way. Now, secondhand shopping is my way to stand out in a cost-effective way.

How did hann-me-down begin?

Like many, I was furloughed in early 2020. I had too much time on my hands and nothing purposeful to do. When thrift stores began to reopen in the summer, I spent my time finding treasures amongst the overwhelmed racks and shelves. Eventually, I grew bored of aimless thrifting, so I created a challenge for myself. I took a dear friend’s Pinterest board and thrifted a little curated collection of secondhand clothes for her based on her style inspiration.

To my surprise, this project took off and grew into a unique small business that has brought me so much joy! Since 2020, I’ve curated 35+ secondhand clothing bundles for people with all kinds of different personal styles.

where is hann-me-down today?

In 2025, I received a wonderful opportunity to open a Hann-Me-Down booth at Bits & Pieces Antique Boutique, in the Germantown neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee, and I’ve been able to share my curated secondhand finds with more individuals than I could have imagined! Each month, I curate a themed secondhand clothing collection featuring ready-to-wear pieces made from primarily natural fibers, and I would love for you to stop by and check it out! New inventory is added weekly.

You can shop Hann-Me-Down seven days a week:

Monday – Friday: 11am-6pm
Saturday: 10am-5pm
Sunday: 11am-4pm

402 Madison Street
Nashville, TN 37208

when I’m not thrifting, I am…

  • Spending time with my husband, friends & family
  • Hosting a dinner party
  • Getting lost in a curated playlist
  • Watching reality tv
  • Working on a creative passion project
  • Exploring all that Nashville has to offer
