More Than a Thrift Store ; More Than Fashion

It has never been "just thrifting" for me—it's always been an immense creative outlet and a portal for inspiration and imagination. Fashion is an art that enables one to express the deepest parts of oneself and showcase individuality.

I haven't always wanted to work in fashion. I've had many passions throughout my life, and my resume reflects a diverse range of roles, including positions in the beauty industry, office management, preschool teaching, and social work. While this list might seem random, it tells the story of my life and my journey through various interests, showing how they are all interconnected through one thing- a passion for connection with others. Reduce Reuse Refashion is a narrative of my passion for people, expression, individuality, and connection.

Reduce Reuse Refashion has been with me through thick and thin, evolving with me as I discover my sense of individuality, personal style, and desires. It has operated in three different cities and has grown alongside me.

Now operating out of New York City, my aim is to create a community of like-minded creative individuals who share passions for fashion, creativity, and community. RRR is much more than a thrift store—it's a celebration of art, individuality, and connection. Ultimately, I aspire to make affordable, sustainable clothing accessible to everyone as an alternative to fast fashion.

My job is to curate a collection of unique, timeless yet trendy pieces in various styles and sizes, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to shop with us and find something they will cherish and that will last a lifetime. By shopping with us, you are not only adding unique items to your wardrobe but also helping to reduce the massive textile waste in landfills, lessen the exploitation of women and children, minimize carbon emissions, and much more. Every time you choose to shop second-hand, you are choosing to change the world for the better.

When paying for an item on our website, remember that you are not only paying for the clothing but also for the labor of sourcing, restoring, and listing the items online. You’re supporting an ethical company with dreams of cleaning up the earth, spreading awareness, and building a community that seeks to end textile waste and its detrimental effects on the environment.
