How we try to do this thoughtfully. And where we're still figuring it out.
secondhand is the whole point. every piece in the shop already exists — we're just giving it a second life instead of making something new.
100% secondhand
nothing new is manufactured for the shop — it's all sourced and rehomed.
small-batch
small, limited drops so we only take in what we can actually care for.
Reused mailers
we reuse mailers and choose recycled/paper packaging wherever we can.
Why secondhand matters
the most sustainable garment is one that already exists. buying secondhand keeps clothes in use and out of landfill, and skips the water, energy and materials it takes to make something from scratch. one reused piece is always lighter on the planet than a brand-new one — even a "sustainable" new one.
Our packaging
we reuse the mailers and boxes that come into the studio whenever they're in good shape, and when we can't, we reach for recycled or paper alternatives. it means your order might arrive in a mailer that's been around the block once — that's on purpose.
Keeping it honest
we're a tiny team and we're not perfect. we'd rather tell you what we're still working on than overclaim: cutting the last bit of plastic from our packaging, and adding a lower-carbon shipping option at checkout. if you ever spot something we could do better, tell us — we mean it.
