New Trade In: Mens & Maternity
Material World was built on the premise of reinvention. Through extending the lifecycle of fashion, we’ve revolutionized the way women look at their closets. Through meaningful decision making, giving new life to once loved designer goods is easier and more accessible than ever. “Never stop evolving” is a core value we hold near and dear. In this pursuit of evolution, we’re proud to announce that we are now extending our trade in service to men’s designer fashions. We feel a full-cycle shopping experience should be obtainable to anyone. We’re excited to embark on this new chapter and begin working with new men’s brands that share or vision of a more sustainable future.

She has A LOT on her plate, but she eventually made the time for a 10-day meditation retreat. In the end, it was life-changing and she doesn’t know why she waited so long.
