Curating vintage and pre-loved collections created by two young women in Amsterdam. The idea behind it is to provide a selection of modern curated clothing while keeping responsibility in mind. Born from a "serendipity" moment, it is now rebranded "Ensō", referring to the Zen-circle which symbolizes creativity, enlightenment, and elegance

The brand hand-picks vintage pieces among thousands (yes, 1000+) garments: only a few will get the "wohoo!" feeling and come back home with the founders. 
Every item will then be carefully reviewed, cleaned, and repaired if needed

Liseth started Serendipity from a desire to wear modern curated clothing without harming people or the planet. After traveling around the world, the urge for a drastic change was stronger than ever.
Andrea, who has inherited her passion for vintage from her grandma and upcycling her mother's wardrobe, was eager to spread that "feeling of uniqueness" in a fresh way.
To make vintage accessible to everybody while building a better lifestyle was just the perfect serendipity moment that ended up in the birth of Ensō

Each of Ensō's products is curated and retouched (if needed) in their studio in Amsterdam

Liseth and Andrea started Ensō from a desire to wear modern curated women by giving clothing a new life. Both coming from a fashion industry background, they decided to stay involved while feeling proud of the products they bring to other women, joining forces with others to pursue the same goal

A portion of Ensō's selection undergoes some kind of upcycling process before becoming a "new" unique piece of clothing

Pre-owned items are articles of clothing that have been retired from someone else closet. 

Pre-owned items already exist, so they require no additional resources and energy to create, contributing zero additional carbon emissions, pollution, and other environmental damages. Additionally, Pre-owned garments are being saved from being thrown away. Around €150 million worth of textile waste goes to landfill and waste each year. Buying pre-owned garments gives clothing second lives, building circularity in the fashion industry, and shortening the demand for new garments.

Pre-owned garments are also often more special because they are often one of a kind because they aren’t sold commercially anymore. They can make your wardrobe more unique, showing your individuality.

Pre-owned items help you reduce the impact of your purchase and close the loop. Around €150 million worth of textile waste goes to landfill and waste each year. By choosing pre-owned items you are keeping them in circle for longer.

You can return items within 10 days from receiving your order. Sale items are excluded. Email them to info@ensovintage.com for further return instructions.
Keep in mind they are a tiny company, so return costs will be on you, yet they will give you a treat for next order! Or you can drop it off for free at their studio Amsterdam (Albert Cuypstraat 36HS, 1072CV)

Founded in 2001, the Swedish brand offers denim in a wide range of styles and fits for men and women. Their mission is to create jeans that will be well-worn for years to come: Jeans that become a part of ourselves when worn a long time – a second skin, diverting from fast fashion culture

Every pair of Nudie Jeans comes with a promise of free repairs forever.
They also offer their customers 20% off a new pair of jeans when handing in an old pair of Nudie Jeans. The jeans that they sell again in our Re-use range are washed and then repaired if needed, and ready to become a new customer’s favorite pair.
If the jeans cannot be re-used then it is recycled

Through Chetna Coalition Nudie Jeans has supported the local community over the years, for example by donating computers to the school for the farmers’ children, and support to other social projects related to the school

Nudie Jeans has joined the Swedish Textile Initiative for Climate Action (STICA) and started the work of mapping their business emissions. They follow the Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodology for their emissions mapping, which means they cover scope 1, 2, and 3: their own emissions and energy use, as well as the emissions of the full supply chain and user phase

Nudie Jeans is part of Fair Wear Foundation. Around 60% of their garments are made in Europe where wages are considered to be in line with or above the cost for basic standards of living such as food, health care, and education. On a regular basis, they conduct social audits and follow-ups at all their production facilities. The audits are made to guarantee that standards are followed and to find where improvements can be made. 
Their Code of conduct applies to all suppliers and subcontractors involved in their production. It makes no difference to them if suppliers are located in a high-risk country or a low-risk country

Products ordered from the online shop are delivered in plastic bags made from RELDPE and RE-HDPE, which is a recycled plastic containing around 40–80% recycled materials

Founded in 2000, the brand from Netherlands offers sustainable clothing, made from organic and recycled materials. Vegan, timeless and ethically made to last

Kuyichi believes a beautiful pair of jeans only increases in value and starts telling a story the longer you wear it. That’s why the brand has let go of the seasonal collections and now focuses on timeless essentials. Furthermore, they’ve decided to stop practicing sale. They believe the products’ value doesn’t change over time and that the products should always have a fair price for the consumer, the retailers and the people who make their clothes

The packaging that Kuyichi's uses for webshop orders is made of 60% recycled - film - plastic produced by Raja Pack. They include a card with information about eco friendly wash & care to encourage to take care of your clothes and make them last.  They’ve also restricted the use of polybags on their samples. They are now sent without polybag, with a (cutting waste) fabric string around it, like a present

Rhea, is a transparent fashion knitwear project, created by women for women. Founded in Amsterdam 2021 the brand creates authentic pieces intended to last.  Rhea (Ree-ah), stems from the great mother of gods and represents the eternal flow of time and generations, with that sort of responsibility they take their knitwear seriously.

Their packaging is made out of recycled materials and easy to reuse or dispose after use. Their principles around packaging are Reduce, Reuse Recycle. All is FSC certified

Rhea fully certifies the manufacturing of products using NATIVA™️ wool, and ensure ethical standards are met throughout the process. All partners throughout the value chain meet the social-, environmental and animal welfare standards of NATIVA™️. Their next step is working on a social certification with all the partners in their value chain

From the start, Rhea has pledged 2% of sales to Rutgers. My body is my own. How many women and girls can freely make that claim? Each of us has a right to bodily autonomy and should therefore have the power to make our own choices about our bodies, to have those choices supported by everyone around us, and by societies at large. Yet, millions of people are denied their right to say no to sex. Or yes to the choice of a partner in marriage or to the right moment to have a child. Many are denied this right because of race, sex, sexual orientation, age, or ability. At Rhea, they support Rutgers on their mission of change

Rhea is promoting diversity by showing a diverse representation of models. Their sizes go from XS to XL to create inclusivity on sizing

This way both Rhea and you as a consumer can make informed decisions about garments you choose to invest in.
