I’m now going to have to be more specific when I refer to pre-loved clothing, because thanks to a green-thinking Canadian company, Preloved is now also a proper noun. Preloved makes one-of-a-kind fashions by upcycling vintage fabrics into new unique styles (via Magnifeco).

The Aloha shirt (left, $80.10 USD) is made from vintage white or blue shirts, the Donna skirt (middle, $53.10) from brightly-striped T-shirts, and the Kiki dress (right, $134.10) from vintage curtains and wool trousers — for those who’d like to drape themselves in drapes!

Preloved has its own stores in Toronto, Montreal, and Sydney — as well as an online boutique — but can also be found at Anthropologie and boutiques across the U.S. In the L.A. area, look for Preloved at Planet Blue in Santa Monica and Rue de Mimo in Pasadena.
