EVERYTHING YOU'LL NEED TO LOOK "HOT TO TROT...CHECK"

WHO ARE WE?

6 REASONS TO SHOP WITH US

  • 1.

    WE ARE SUSTAINABLE Shopping secondhand will always be a more eco-friendly option, over buying sustainable ranges from shops. Why?  because when you buy a used item you are saving on all the resources it took to make that item. For example, it takes 2,700 litres of water to make one new cotton t-shirt. A t-shirt from us is free of those impacts.

  • 2.

    WE PROMOTE A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

    Currently fashion is mostly a straight line; things are produced from finite resources used a few times and then thrown away. These end up landfill or worse, pollute our natural environment. A circular economy means everything is reused, repaired, and recycled.

  • 3.

    DEVELOP A UNIQUE SENSE OF STYLE

    Vintage items can be timesless classics, quirky, unique and beautiful. Chances are if you find something you love, it will be one of a kind. No more turning up to parties wearing the same dress as your friends! Why not fill your wardrobe with clothing that complements your sense of style? You will still stand out from the crowd because no two items are the same.

    WE ARE ETHICAL

    Fast fashion has kept the cost of clothing down at the cost of low pay and un safe working conditions in developing countries. By switching to ethically made brands like us you are ensuring that the clothing you choose to spend your money on hasn't taken advantage of workers or used child labour.

  • 5.

    WE UP-CYCLE

    Up-cycling clothing has a huge positive impact on the environment. It requires a lot less water and energy than recycling. It decreases textile waste, pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.

    Overall, the practice of upcycling clothes lowers the demand for new clothing production, which is extremely wasteful and destructive for the planet.

    SUPPORT SMALL & FAMILY BUSINESS

    Buying locally, helps to cut carbon emissions and air pollution - due to reduced transportation miles as we source and make  everything in the UK. We also support local by purchasing locally  which boosts UK economy. As a family business we care deeply about  our reputation, business, and customers, creating a strong sense of community, high quality and great customer service, plus we do a happy dance with every purchase.
