Cecilia Blixt is a Swedish designer who found her way into secondhand fashion early on. When she couldn’t find the unique clothes she was looking for, she began creating her own using upcycled materials. Through her brand Cecilia Blixt Design, she shares colorful, mood-boosting pieces designed to spark joy and raise awareness about the impact of fast fashion.
In celebration of Earth Day, we at Vinty Market want to share a few simple ways you can make your everyday life a bit more sustainable. Small changes, done consistently, can make a big impact – especially when we do them together. Here are our top 6 tips for living greener:
When Petra took over Ljungskile’s beloved second-hand boutique Garderob, she brought with her a lifetime of fashion experience, a deep-rooted passion for sustainability, and a story that begins in a Parisian tailor's shop and leads all the way to the Swedish west coast. This is her journey—from childhood fashion adventures to becoming a proud advocate for conscious consumption.
Finally! One of our most beloved stores on Vinty Market, Ljungskiles Garderob, has now opened its digital doors. This means you can shop your secondhand favorites directly from the store – no matter where you are in Sweden. 💻✨
The Food and Vintage Corner in Lidköping blends vintage fashion with fine foods. Founded by Amie and Linda, the store offers curated secondhand clothing and locally sourced delicacies. Amie, inspired by London’s secondhand culture, has a passion for vintage, especially denim, while Linda specializes in homemade marmalades and quality food products. Their vision is to create an inviting space where customers can explore and enjoy the fusion of old and new.
Linda, the founder of Klädkammaren Töreboda, turned her passion for second-hand treasures into a thriving business, creating a boutique where fashion finds a second life. With a focus on sustainability, style, and personal service, she continues to expand her vision - curating vintage and second-hand pieces selling in store and online through Vinty Market.
Want to make the most out of your secondhand shopping? Focus on choosing durable materials like wool, leather, linen, and silk – they age beautifully and offer long-lasting quality. Be cautious with delicate fabrics and synthetic materials, as they may require extra care. Check for quality details such as double stitching and sturdy zippers to ensure your finds are built to last. To keep your treasures looking great, opt for gentle washing, steaming, and occasional repairs. With smart choices and proper care, you can build a timeless and sustainable wardrobe.
Happy thrifting with Vinty!
