Giving Back

We strive to have a positive impact on the earth in an industry that often has a negative impact.

SSW will contribute 1% of your purchase to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere.

We have joined a group of ambitious businesses in the STRIPE Climate initiative. SSW directs a fraction of our revenue from payments to fund permanent carbon removal. Every $$ funds next-generation carbon removal.

SSW gives 1% back to the community from non-designer sourcing purchases

These donations help fund job training programs, employment placement services, and other community-based programs that empower individuals with disabilities & disadvantages to find work. Often, our non-designer goods are from Goodwill. We donate back to their program.

How We Pack

Wearing pre-loved and vintage pieces reduces your carbon footprint and saves valuable resources.

You help keep garments out of landfills—over 10.5 million tons end up there yearly—and support a more sustainable, circular fashion system.

Producing one new cotton shirt uses up to 2,700 liters of water—the same amount one person drinks in 2.5 years.

Stylish, smart, and

better for the planet.

RESTORED SHOES

Over 300 million shoes are tossed in the U.S. each year, and up to 95% end up in landfills. Most take 30–40 years to decompose.

We give vintage and pre-loved shoes new life by partnering with expert cobblers who, if need be, will restore soles, refinish leather, replace heels, and add thoughtful details to elevate their charm and longevity.

Reviving timeless craftsmanship

is worth every step.
