If you thought 2025 was good, buckle up - because 2026 is going to be legendary.
We're heading into the new year with gratitude for what we've accomplished and excitement for what's ahead. And we want to let you in on what we're thinking about, working on, and dreaming up for the year to come.
First, let's talk about what's STAYING THE SAME:
Our standards aren't changing. We're still buying current styles in excellent condition. We're still paying you fairly. We're still committed to keeping fashion out of landfills. We're still focused on creating spaces where women support women. Those things? Non-negotiable. That's who we are.
But we ARE making improvements:
We're always listening to your feedback, and in 2026, you can expect:
- Better communication about sales, events, and what we're looking for
- More consistency across all three stores - West Chester, Springfield, and Plymouth Meeting
- Faster processing at buy appointments (we know your time is valuable!)
- More community engagement - events, collaborations, and ways to connect
- Continued focus on variety - from everyday basics to designer treasures
Here's what we need from YOU:
Let's be honest: we're only as good as the inventory you bring us! So in 2026, we need you to:
Keep bringing us current styles: We can't sell what's outdated, so bring us pieces from the last 2-3 years. Current cuts, current colors, current brands. That's what shoppers are looking for!
Keep shopping with us FIRST: Before you hit the mall or scroll through fast fashion websites, check our racks. You might be surprised what you find - and your wallet will definitely thank you.
Keep spreading the word: Tell your friends, your neighbors, your coworkers. Post your finds on Instagram. Tag us in your outfits. Bring your shopping buddies. The more women who discover sustainable resale fashion, the better!
Here's why 2026 is going to be amazing:
We're not just talking about what WE'RE going to do. We're talking about what WE'LL do TOGETHER.
Because sustainable fashion isn't a solo mission - it's a movement. Every time you bring us a piece instead of throwing it away, you're part of it. Every time you choose to shop resale instead of buying new, you're part of it. Every time you tell a friend about us, you're part of it.
In 2025, we proved that our model works. Quality pieces find new homes. Sellers make money. Shoppers save money. Fashion stays out of landfills. Local businesses thrive. Women support women.
In 2026, we're going to do MORE of what works.
So here's our commitment to you:
We promise to maintain our standards. We promise to pay you fairly. We promise to create welcoming spaces where you feel valued. We promise to communicate clearly. We promise to keep getting better.
And here's what we hope from you: that you'll keep showing up. Keep bringing us your best. Keep shopping with intention. Keep being part of this incredible community.
2025 was the foundation. 2026 is where we build something truly special.
There are closets we haven't seen yet. Shoppers who haven't discovered us. Women who need to know that sustainable fashion isn't just possible - it's practical, affordable, and stylish.
So let's make this year count. Let's prove that fashion can be beautiful without being wasteful. Let's show that community matters more than corporations. Let's build something that makes us all proud.
Ready? We're just getting started. 🎉
See you soon,

P.S. - Seriously, clean out those closets. We're buying. 😉
