We're in our thrifting era...
In July 2024, we became the owners of Sustainable Steals Consignment. We have a passion for thrifting and advocate for a slow-fashion lifestyle. Thrifting is no longer just donating items that have no use anymore. The clothing industry is ready for a new era of thrift, where we can choose to support each other financially rather than relying solely on shopping at malls.
From Fast-Trash to Circular-Sustainable...
At Sustainable Steals, our mission is to help support a clothing economy where the value of an item goes beyond one owner. You should be rewarded for the care you take of your pre-loved garments that then brings joy to someone else. By giving preloved garments a second life, we aim to make fashion accessible to all and contribute to a healthier planet for future generations. We hope to provide this service that supports a sustainable clothing economy and puts money in local's pockets.

By day, I am surrounded with the sounds of ukuleles, xylophones, recorders, and the beautiful singing voices of my K-7 students. By night -in a significantly quieter space- I enjoy the beauty of fabrics, colours, and styling. Most of all I enjoy seeing items that were loved by one person, become a new joy for someone else. My most cherished garments were thrifted and I am known to respond "at the thrift store...and it was only $_!!" when someone asks where I got my clothing. I am so honoured to be a part of your journey to find those cherished items. Thanks for coming along!

I’m an intermediate elementary school teacher who loves to shop. A skirt with pockets, a long maxi dress or anything with a tied bow will definitely turn my head. When I’m not teaching or shopping, I enjoy golfing, paddle boarding & snowboarding. I love to travel and have lived in Japan, South Korea, Australia and England. Our passion for shopping and thrifting had always made our vision of owning our own consignment store so appealing. Can’t wait to dive into this business with my best friend and all of you!
