Upcycled Clothing, Rebuilt by Hand

Second Story Fashion - common questions

What does Second Story Fashion actually mean?

It means the garment is reworked from a piece that already existed - a vintage or existing garment altered, redesigned, reconstructed, or embellished into a one-of-a-kind. It honors the original piece while making it into something new; SCRAPD hand-reviews storefronts to keep it genuine.

How is it different from Reimagined Vintage and Handmade Clothing?

Second Story Fashion is clothing reconstructed and rebuilt from existing garments. Reimagined Vintage restores or embellishes a vintage piece while preserving it. Handmade Clothing is original garments sewn from scratch. Browse whichever fits what you are after.

Is each piece truly one-of-a-kind?

Yes. Because the maker works from a single existing garment, no two pieces use the same material. Once a piece sells it cannot be remade identically.

How do I choose a size when every piece is unique?

Read the measurements in each listing. Reworked garments are rebuilt by hand and often combine fabrics with different stretch and drape, so the maker’s stated measurements are more reliable than any single label.

Where does SCRAPD ship and who sends the order?

SCRAPD currently ships within the United States. The maker packs and dispatches your order themselves, so handling time depends on the individual storefront.

I rework clothing - can I sell it on SCRAPD?

Yes, this category exists for makers like you. Apply for a storefront; a real person reviews it, usually within 72 hours. Your work needs to be genuinely reworked and handmade - no resold factory stock.
