Logos have power. When we wear our favorite brands, it says something about our style. When we wear thrift, it says something about our values. Now you can share those values with the world.
Thrift was an invisible trend. Until now. Introducing a universal symbol that stands for
sustainability and helps fight fashion waste.
We partnered with one of our fave fashion designers Christian Siriano to create a sustainable badge of honor that tells the world you’re wearing secondhand. Now you can flaunt your thriftiness with pride to inspire others to toss less and thrift more. That’s how we’ll create a more sustainable future for fashion.
“With nods to clothing and recycling iconography, we created a logo that stands for the power of thrift. The design is an infinite loop, representing circular fashion and a future where clothing is reused again and again.” – Christian Siriano, Fashion Designer
