Why Vintage

We hate waste, and knowing that the average American throws out 81 lbs of clothing annually, we only make new clothes when what we want doesn't already exist.

What we don’t yet make, we’ve found. We’re proud to curate a selection of beautiful garments that already exist that represent individuality, heritage, pre-fast fashion era quality, and a certain lifestyle that seeks keepsakes over trends.
