What We Did

FROM 2009 to 2015 Refashioner sold the best designer pieces and exceptional vintage from private collections. You can still see some here, though you cannot buy them any more. They are organized by owner and each garment comes complete with its own story.  

We invite you to meet the people who loved these clothes too much to just discard or soullessly sell them. My personal closet is here. A few have pseudonyms for privacy, though these prominent people put their closets on Refashioner because they believe in a highly personal clothes trade. 

All pieces here belong to these people

Nothing is "pre-owned". It's all owned. Let's tend and value what's in our closets. 

 

What Else We (used to) Do*
