Upcycled items begin as garments or other textiles that haven't sold due to overproduction of trends, damaged areas of fabric, or simply not being in the right place at the right time to be purchased in their original form.

We rescue this fabric from being sent to a landfill and give it a glow-up: it might be slightly altered for a modern or unique look, or reconstructed into something completely new.

Upcycled items are handmade in our studio and may have minor flaws (shown in pictures). Imperfections are a sign that a human made this - thank you for embracing them in the spirit of slow fashion!

Being committed to sustainable fashion means that we don't want you feeling stuck with clothing that you won't wear! Please remember that overconsumption of secondhand clothing is still overconsumption.

Our goal is to keep textiles out of landfills as long as possible, and we encourage you to make thoughtful and intentional purchases on your sustainable fashion journey!

If your item arrives damaged or with flaws that were not described or shown in the listing, we will issue a store credit or refund to the card used to purchase the item. We will pay for and provide the shipping label.

If you'd like to return the item due to fit or simply changing your mind, we can issue a store credit or refund to the card used to purchase the item. We will provide the shipping label and deduct the shipping cost from your store credit or refund.

All returns must be requested within 30 days of purchase. Please contact us at hello@canaryinagoldmine.co.
