• With the goal of ridding landfills of tonnes of tossed textiles that still have some life left in them, they have formed a clothing and houseware design company where they take reclaimed fabrics and dishes, add funky detail, and in turn create new, one-of-a-kind products that exude a bohemian-chic style. – Paula McCooey, the Ottawa Citizen
• The store’s goal is to help customers find unusual, funky used clothing while also helping the environment… – Matthew Klie-Cribb, Centretown News,
