HOW IT STARTED

As a little girl in the 80s, I would spend hours playing dress-up, mixing and matching vintage pieces from my mother's closet with my own creative flair. Those moments sparked a lifelong love for the unique beauty and history behind each garment. Today, I bring that same passion into my brand, rescuing timeless pieces from being lost in landfills and giving them new life. Every piece tells a story—of craftsmanship, sustainability, and the joy of preserving fashion that deserves to be cherished for generations.

HOW IT'S GOING

Each week, I hunt for gently used treasures at local estate sales, thrift shops, and vintage stores—selecting only pieces that carry unique character and a story to tell. Every item that enters my shop is given the care it deserves. I spend considerable time restoring garments, carefully hand washing, treating stains, and using The Laundress products for pieces that can be laundered. Delicate, antique, and dry-clean-only items are either professionally cleaned or gently steamed to preserve their beauty and integrity.

All items are shipped out twice a week, promptly removed from the site once sold, and always arrive ready to wear—cleaned, refreshed, and revived for their next chapter.

 

Thank you for stopping by and supporting a journey that blends style with sustainability. Together, we can make fashion timeless and kind to the planet.

With Gratitude,

Jacqueline from Second Hand Socialite
