Why I created reCOLLECT
Let me introduce reCOLLECT, my pre-loved and vintage collection curated with love and care. Spanning from the late 1990s to 2021, reCOLLECT presents a unique blend of contemporary and vintage designs that have been wardrobe stayers and stood the test of time. These pieces are not high-end designer or luxury, but they possess an intangible quality that sets them apart - a timeless, classic, and enduring style.
My decision to keep these pieces was not driven by their monetary value but by an appreciation of their inherent beauty and charm. Now, I am thrilled to share these treasures with the others through reCOLLECT. By borrowing items from a preloved "time capsule” collection, you can embrace slow fashion and become part of a story of appreciation that stretches back decades.
reCOLLECT v. to remember, to recall, to reminisce; n. a collection within a collection.
There is a certain allure to hunting for hidden gems at vintage sellers and op shops, or discovering perfect outfit treasures that your mum or grandmother have kept squirrelled away. It's the excitement of uncovering and wearing a unique piece that allows you to tell a story from a bygone era. Vintage clothes can evoke a sense of reverence; the sewn-in clothing label itself a powerful storyteller narrating the formative years of its designer. reCOLLECT encapsulates that spirit, offering a curated selection of garments that allows fashion to transcend mere trends and instead be a means of self-expression and connection to the past.
With reCOLLECT, you can not only dress in style but also make a statement about your values, embracing sustainability and reducing waste by giving these beloved garments a new lease on life. Each piece in the collection has a story to tell, and now, as you wear them, you become part of that narrative, continuing the legacy of these timeless designs. I encourage you to hang on to the pieces you love and to wear them! Because classics never date.
