where do i get my product materials?

product source materials is a major
part of being eco conscious

There are 4 major ways in which we source sustainably

1) donations

I collect donations from friends & family all year long!
I accept all forms of donation and will happy spend the time sorting & repairing the items for resale, upcycle or donation.

2) scraps

I collect and purchase materials from a variety of places around my city.
The Furniture upholsterer at the end of my street. Closing businesses, Fabricville scrap bins & unsorted hardware bins. Flea markets, Facebook marketplace & Kijiji are also great places to find people giving away or selling scrap bins!

3) thrifted & second hand

My shop also includes (as you've probably noticed) an amazing curated collection of second hand & vintage pieces as well.
I source these items through donation, second hand & vintage shops throughout my city.

4) fairtrade & local procurement

Occasionally I have to buy materials new, whenever this occurs I try my best to shop in bulk, locally & with in markets which consider Fairtrade.

I also source my materials and any services needed for my business locally whenever I can. This includes anything from raw materials to artists for partnerships. Doing this allows me to support my local economy and cut down on transportation costs.

green shipping & pickup

Compact Packing

Takes up less space in carrier transport which results in fewer trips & emissions.

Reused Packaging

We reuse packing boxes & envelopes as well as scrap paper for tags, labels & mailing slips.

Local Delivery & pick up

In order to reduce emissions as much as possible, I offer local delivery & pick up at a cheaper cost!
