    "It’s a lovely thrift store with a curated selection of items and a great vibe. Lots of treasures to be found. The price point for both style and quality makes big name retail shopping obsolete, sorry not sorry." Vasily

everything you need already exists

  • SUSTAINABLE

    Re-using what’s already out there is one step closer to building a sustainable wardrobe. If everyone bought just 1 used item instead of new this year, it would save 6 billion pounds of carbon emissions and divert 2.6 billion pounds of waste from landfills.

  • EXPERT CURATION

    Our buyer has an extensive background in garment construction, textile expertise and fashion business. Knowing the difference between natural and synthetic fibres and how they impact our health and happiness makes all the difference.

  • ONE-OF-A-KIND

    Raise your hand if you’re always on the hunt for someone totally unique that just oozes your personal style. And the thought of no one else having what you found gets you pumped up like nothing else. Thrift shopping is for you my friend, and you’re in the right place.

FAQ

how do I know if something will fit?

Shopping online can be tricky, we get it. Here’s our expert tip: find an item of clothing you own (if you’re looking at blouse on our website, find a blouse in your closet that you like the fit of) and measure across the chest from armpit to armpit. We usually provide a measurement in the listing to help you compare against something you already own. If it’s not there, (usually when it’s a modern item) it’s best to visit the brand’s size guide to get a better sense of fit.

can I pick up in store?

Yes, simply choose 'shop location' as your shipping option during checkout.

what if my order is not as described?

Kindly remember, vintage pieces often come with signs of wear, which contribute to their character. We strive to highlight any significant flaws, but minor imperfections may still be present. Additional photos provided in listings show details, textures or identified flaws for consideration.

While we do our best to inspect items thoroughly, alas we are but human. If you've purchased an item on-line and feel as though there was something significant not disclosed to you, please email us.

do my items need to be cleaned?

A lot of our items are washed before they make it out onto the floor, but not everything. If your item comes with a hangtag that has our wash logo on it, it is ready to wear.

do you buy clothing?

No, we do not buy clothing from the public. The majority of our inventory is purchased wholesale. However, we do accept donations from our customers. If you're like us, you care about your clothes and want them to go to a good home, and live another life. Often times donations dropped off at donation centres get damaged, or end up overseas or in the landfill - plus two of the largest thrift chains in Canada are for-profit (and one of them is a US company). At good market, your valuables are handled with care and we want them to live another life. Thank you in advance for supporting a local, female-owned business in your community.

are you a charity?

We are a local, female-owned for-profit business. The negative impacts of overproduction in the fashion industry is disastrous - environmentally and socially. So our mission is to advocate for the planet and her people by encouraging you to use what's already out there rather than buying new.

Our goal is to deeply embed ourselves in this mission in our community. So while traditional charity shops are on a mission to help newcomers and low-income citizens (a totally worthy cause!) ours is focused on mother earth and climate activism. We want to leave the world a better place than we found it.
