Sustainable

Based in Toronto, at Waratah Avenue we believe in the magic of transformation.

Embracing the stories woven into donated and unused textiles, we work to extend their lifespan to create a truly unique, slow fashion experience for our community. Our upcycling process is a labour of love, from long road trips spent thrifting and collecting textiles to the washing and cataloguing of them, we give each piece love and attention and design from the textiles themselves. The history and design of these pieces create a wellspring of ideas and inspiration for our team. As we work on unpicking old hems and seams we imagine the original creators of these textiles and are reminded of our responsibility to use them in meaningful and sustainable ways. It’s a real pleasure.

Waratah Avenue offers a unique shopping experience for those seeking sustainable clothing options. Our garments celebrate self-expression through a love for all kinds of bodies and beautiful, well-loved textiles turned into beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces.
