How we got here
In May of 2020, Kelsey Reese decided to make an Instagram page to clean out her closet. She had no idea that choice would change her life in such a monumental way. ​
​
Reesecycled has been through many eras - a closet cleanout, vintage reselling at markets, a sustainable styling business - but the stars fully aligned when Kelsey bought herself a sewing machine for her 24th birthday in 2020. A few months into 2021, she began documenting thrift flips on TikTok and Instagram. With a rapidly growing audience, Kelsey pivoted from an aspiring legal career to designing, upcycling, and content creating full time. ​
​
Throughout the years, Reesecycled has blossomed into not just a brand, but a community of conscious consumers with a penchant for bold, unconventional styles. Reesecycled pieces have been worn all over the world, and Kelsey has had her designs featured on multiple NYFW runways and in several publications.

A note from Kelsey
17 million tons of textile waste ended up in landfills in 2018 (per the Environmental Protection Agency). The amount of textile waste Americans produce has doubled over the last 20 years. A small but meaningful step you can take to help address the growing environmental crisis?
Shopping secondhand!
100% of the fabrics used in Reesecycled pieces are pre-loved. We also strive to source notions and trims from secondhand sources when possible.
​
Additionally, if you place an order, it may come in a reused package. We repurpose gently used mailers and take out of season mailing supplies from large retailers to prevent hundreds of unused mailers ending up in a landfill. If your order arrives in a plastic bag, rest assure that it is plastic being saved from the garbage to keep your items in premium condition during the shipping process. What our packaging lacks in aesthetics and branding, we make up for in environmental impact!
​
There is no such thing as perfect sustainability-- but Reesecycled is here with a mission to provide you styles that will make you feel as stunning as you are while preserving the beauty of this planet we call home.
