Born in 1993, the Scandinavian fashion brand aims to find a solution to the stress of dressing. They create simple, practical garments that can be worn every day – designed with style and comfort in equal measure

This year Filippa K started a partnership with TrusTrace in which they used groundbreaking blockchain technology that supported the transparency of their clothing. They're starting with 10 items that are currently fully traceable - aiming to increase this number each season

The Filippa K design team cuts their pieces in timeless silhouettes to support their aesthetic and the longevity of the garments

Filippa K publishes their Fair Wear Foundation performance checks on their website, which examines how company management systems support FWF’s Code of Labour Practices. They evaluate the parts of company supply chains where clothing is assembled. This is the most labour intensive part of garment supply chains, and where brands can have the most influence over working conditions. By being part of FairWearFoundation they are committed to safe and healthy working conditions

Dress by Filippa K. Made with 75% silk. It is a size L but fits a bit smaller. In excellent condition

Pre-owned items are articles of clothing that have been retired from someone else closet. 

Pre-owned items already exist, so they require no additional resources and energy to create, contributing zero additional carbon emissions, pollution, and other environmental damages. Additionally, Pre-owned garments are being saved from being thrown away. Around €150 million worth of textile waste goes to landfill and waste each year. Buying pre-owned garments gives clothing second lives, building circularity in the fashion industry, and shortening the demand for new garments.

Pre-owned garments are also often more special because they are often one of a kind because they aren’t sold commercially anymore. They can make your wardrobe more unique, showing your individuality.

Pre-owned items help you reduce the impact of your purchase and close the loop. Around €150 million worth of textile waste goes to landfill and waste each year. By choosing pre-owned items you are keeping them in circle for longer.

Returning items is possible within 14 calendar days. Returning the item is at your own expenses. 

Free shipping to The Netherlands and Belgium on all orders. 
Shipping to Germany, Luxemburg and UK for €1,95. 
Shipping to the rest of EU for €9,95.

Designing outdoor clothing and gear for the silent sports. The California brand established in 1973 aims to use their voice, business, and community to do something about our climate crisis

To date, Patagonia has funded five projects looking at solutions to ocean pollution from microfibers. They charged their own materials development team to identify fiber types and construction techniques that minimize shedding. To aid that effort, they commissioned a study from North Carolina State University to help them understand which characteristics in fabrics lead to microfiber release—and to developed a rapid test methodology to assess the potential of fabrics to shed during laundering. Since 2015, they've been investigating biodegradable synthetic fibers as a solution to microfiber shedding from washing garments

Since spring of 2020, Patagonia uses polybags to package their products, made of 100 percent recycled content which is Global Recycle Standard (GRS) certified

Patagonia has committed to numerous initiatives aimed at reducing their environmental impact across their business. The brand's self-imposed Earth tax, 1% for the Planet, provides support to environmental nonprofits working to defend our air, land, and water around the globe

Fair since 1978, Hamburg based company with strong ties to its European heritage, creating sophisticated, high-quality clothes while making every stage of the production process as sustainable as possible

Closed's goal is to produce their collections with less of an environmental impact, while never compromising their high quality. Fortunately, these two values often go hand in hand: making high quality and timeless products their priority ever since the beginnings of Closed

For Closed, timeless design means one thing: perfection right from the start. That is why they search the globe for partners who are absolute experts in their fields – and just as uncompromising when it comes to quality.  They regularly visit their partners and became friends along the way. More than 80 per cent of their clothes are produced in Europe

To responsibly shop wool, it is important to know that the animals have been treated correctly with no harm, that would otherwise derive from the mulesing practice. This is used to create smoother skin, but for the sheep is very dangerous

Closed ships their online shop orders in 100 per cent recyclable boxes, made from 100 per cent recycled materials. Their products are packed and shipped in polybags made of a material that degrades in 10–15 years (instead of 300 years). Made by the company Re.Ma.Plast, they contain the organic additive EcoPure for much faster biodegradation

Closed chooses their materials carefully to achieve the highest possible quality in order to create items that remain their customers’ favourites for years to come. Most of their materials are of natural origin, e.g. cotton or wool. In some cases, they also decide in favour of innovative synthetic alternatives like 3M™ Thinsulate™ Insulation, which is a vegan down alternative made of recycled fibres

Gabriela Hearst is a brand that reflects a slower pace and process: where tradition influences more than trend, where there is a purpose to every piece, where it’s all in the details

From the beginning, Gabriela Hearst, "wanted to create a brand that had that feeling of things that are well made and long lasting." Each garment is an item into which Gabriela can pour her desire—made with impeccable construction and uncompromising, noble materials

TIPA was founded in 2010 by Daphna Nissenbaum and Tal Neuman to address the plastic waste crisis.

Reformations packaging has always been 100% compostable bags made of bio-based materials. However, they are in the process of switching to 100% recycled LDPE bags with a biodegradable polymer (BDP), that allows them to break down in landfills

Reformation cares that all bodies are represented through their products

Few-of-a-kind™ womenswear shop funded by Ruby, a New York City & Copenhagen based girl. Ruby's pieces are made of truly upcycled vintage fabric remnants dating 1930-1999 with zero-impact on the environment. You're not shopping – you're recycling

The brand carries size XS-XL off-hand, but it also does made-to-order for ALL sizes -- plus-size welcome!

Girl of the Earth is 100% women-owned and women manufactured. The founder Ruby, grew up in downtown Manhattan to antique-dealer parents, so "I inherited and cultivated relationships with vintage suppliers, flea market owners, eccentric grandmas, and just plain hoarders, who I buy gorgeous old fabric from. This supply chain is super unconventional and requires my life-long expertise, and a lot of luck, but basically I'm just really really good at shopping" says Ruby

How the founder Ruby says, Girl of the Earth is a one-woman show!

Every piece is made from vintage fabrics dating 1930-1999. Ruby, the founder, sources these personally using her lifelong knowledge. These leftover pieces of fabric are so small that other brands would never bother to use them. Ruby, the founder says "I understand why— it's a super time-intensive business model. I am always spending way too much time negotiating prices, inspecting fabrics' condition, and giving my seamstress complex instructions about which remnants are for which styles"

Ethically and locally made in NY by the brand's legendary seamstress Cici

The unofficial dress of summer '22. This is a perfect-fitting strapless mini dress. Fitted through the waist with a super secure elasticated back and inside shelf bra, then flares A-line style. Split at the back waist for maximum comfort when sitting. There's truly nothing more flattering! Style with heeled boots on a hot city night, or barefoot by the seaside. Matching scrunchie included!
Our entire vintage-fabric-womenswear collection is made using textile remnants dating 1930-1999, meaning each piece has zero impact on the environment and is what we like to call few-of-a-kind™. We only found enough of this silk (circa 1960s?) to make 3 dresses! Cut and sewn locally in NY by our legendary seamstress. These dresses fit like our skirts (see our size chart here)— measure the smallest part of your waist (usually above the belly button). These best fit a 23 inch waist in XS, 25 in S, 27 in M, 29 in L, and 31 in XL (if we're sold out or you need a custom size, see made-to-order).
*Please note, our upcycled vintage-fabric pieces can be delicate, and the content not always guaranteed. Dry clean preferred (and if you're going to wash do so COLD and hang dry)— or try lazy washing: spot-clean, pat odorous areas with vodka, and place in the freezer for a day.
Lots of fabrics sold out? Shop by what's available in your size.

Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality and environmental value. 

Upcycling artists are inspired by the textile waste they see, which is almost an unlimited resource at this point. They create with the intention to use what is already here. This process is important in the circular fashion movement, because it makes use of discarded textiles, giving these materials second lives. 

Because discarded textiles are not typically sheets of fabric, but rather articles of discarded clothing, a lot of creativity is required to transform materials into new fashionable pieces. This challenge is exciting for upcycling artists, as they are driven and inspired to create with what is in front of them and often don’t have much to lose in the process, since discarded materials are readily available and cheap. Because of this, upcycled clothing is often unique as each piece has been thoughtfully crafted into a new garment.

This product is made by creatively upcycling materials that would otherwise go to waste. This makes better use of resources like deadstock fabrics: leftovers from big production that are saved by re-using them.

Returns and Refunds 14-days policy.
Once the package is received, girl of the earth'll refund you less return shipping cost ($10 for domestic orders, or $12-$28 for international orders). For exchanges, please simply return your unwanted item and re-purchase a different one. 
Make sure the item is unused, in the same condition that you received it, and in its original packaging (and alongside its free matching scrunchie, if applicable). Please note final sale items are non-returnable.

USPS tracked shipping for free around the US (3-5 business days) and international shipping rates calculated at the checkout (7-14 business days).
