Why Buy Vintage?

Putting together your very own vintage-and-secondhand closet is one of the most exciting ways to fulfill your style cravings, and it does a lot more than just making you look good. This is a little summary of my favorite “Things to Remember” when sourcing for both myself and my shop 🕸 🖤 No. 1 - Shopping secondhand helps fight back against greedy fast fashion companies who rely on environmentally damaging practices and abusive working conditions. No. 2 - When it comes to our carbon footprint, every little bit helps, even if you can’t really see the direct results. Using clothes and objects that already exist helps cut back on production strain and industrial impact in general. No. 3 - Shopping secondhand from small businesses puts your money directly towards real people, instead of major companies and big brands. No. 4 - Piecing together a thrifted outfit is so much more satisfying than buying into and copying whatever the fast fashion industry runs in their latest insta ad. No. 5 - Your personal sense of style and creativity brings something completely wonderful and unique into the world. It inspires people to build their confidence, and dress more like themselves. No. 6 - Patience is key, because a well-curated closet of thrifted vintage pieces takes time! It’s a practice made up of good shopping habits, personal experimentation, and the willingness to hunt for what you want. Not sure how or where to start? Message me and we’ll talk about it 🖤
