The Sun
We’re big fans of the sunrise and huge believers on starting fresh every day. We love that the sun represents a new day, new beginnings and new opportunities. We like to think that’s what we are giving to all our pre-loved goods, a fresh start and a new lease of life!
We’re also a coastal based pair and feel that the sunrise we see on the south coast is the best you can get! It is a token to where we live 🖤
The Serpent
Historically, serpents and snakes represent fertility or a creative life force. As snakes shed their skin through shedding, they are symbols of rebirth, transformation, immortality, and healing.
We think this holds a pretty powerful symbolism towards vintage / pre-loved items. We’re forever in love with the idea of being more sustainable and giving a re-birth to old items.
