Thank You!

We had such a great time showing at World MasterCard Fashion Week this year. It made our 20th anniversary a memorable one! Everything we've accomplished wouldn't have been possible without a great team to back us up. I wanted to thank everyone who has supported Preloved these past 20 years and especially the people who were involved in the last couple months. 

I want to give special thanks to our sponsors Guilhermina Shoes, SIGG North America, SoulScapes Designs, Redwood Classics and Shannon Murree for coming on board this crazy ride! I also wanted to say thanks to all Preloved's collaborators, they've supported us for years and Preloved wouldn't be what it is today without independent Canadian boutiques. I also want to thank Team Preloved, the people I work with day in and day out. And lastly, thank you to everyone who came to the show! We hope you enjoyed it! We had so much fun and we really hope we get to do it again.

Now that fashion week is officially over it's time to get back to normal and get back to work.

Deborah from SoulScapes took some time out of her busy day to have a shoot with me at the Preloved design studio! 

Deborah is a Toronto realtor and is the President, Founder and CEO of SoulScapes Design. SoulScapes design is a landscape design firm that helps people get their dream garden. Deborah started her business from her personal experience of loss and grief. From her time of sadness she created something beautiful. She looked to her garden for solace and created SoulScapes. Her connection to her business makes us really happy and proud to have Deborah on board the Preloved team. To gain new friends and supporters for our 20th anniversary makes the celebration even more fun and memorable. Thanks to Deborah and SoulScape Designs.

Preloved Presents TWENTY with Kathy from Redwood Classics




Kathy is one of the most admirable business women I've had the pleasure to meet and consistently work with! Redwood Classics is a Made in Canada company. Their pieces can be seen department stores, resorts, universities and corporate companies across North America. Redwood has been Preloved's ongoing collaborators. We love working closely with Kathy and her team. On work days, Kathy can often be seen wearing Preloved around the office, which makes her such an amazing supporter of what we do.

Being Julia - Throwback Trench





This skirt is still one of my all time favourite pieces.  As we embark on our 20th anniversary, I am having a ball going through some of  the preloved classics.   This skirt was made for our SS2009 collection, and is made from an old trench coat!  The design on this still blows me away,  although the pain of producing it is still fresh.  The Georgie Trench Skirt was produced back in the day, when the design team worked in one room, and the production team in another.  There wasn't a ton of communication between the two.  When I first saw this skirt in the design meeting, I fell in love, and thought it was totally a work of art!  What we didn't realize was how specific the vintage requirements were.  It had to be produced from double breasted trench coat (with perfect buttons)  the vent on the back of the coat had to be a certain measurement and the original pockets had to be in a certain placement.  I think we must have gone through thousands of trench coats, to find the ones that would be come the Georgie Trench Skirt.  This skirt was a turning point in how we produce, and how we design, and how the two teams need to work together!    Stay tuned for more preloved classics.  #prelovedturns20
