One designer, one season, one corner of the shop

Resale is about giving good clothing a longer life. The residency is the other half of the same idea — making sure there is still someone making good clothing here in the first place.

Currently In Residence

Eudaimonic

Our designer in residence this season. Their work is in the boutique now, available to buy new alongside the collection.

A short description of Eudaimonic's work goes here — what they make, how it is made, and what makes it worth stopping for. Come in and see it on the rail.

The Residency

How it works

A season is roughly three months. The designer keeps their own pricing, we take a straightforward split, and the work sits in the boutique alongside the collection rather than tucked in a back corner.

For shoppers

New work from an independent designer, in limited numbers, that you will not find in a department store. You can meet the maker at the opening, and often they will alter a piece for you.

For the designer

A physical space in front of people who already buy considered clothing, without the cost of a pop-up. We handle the selling, the till, and the customers.

For us

It keeps the shop from being only about the past. A resale boutique that never sells anything new is a museum, and we would rather be a shop.
