Sardine Clothing Company started in 2008 with a sewing machine and one woman making kids clothing from thrift store finds. After a few years, it is still one woman (and friends!) and A LOT of sewing machines making fun "everyday favorite" clothing and accessories from even more thrift store finds.

Founded by Maryanne Petrus-Gilbert, Sardine Clothing Company is a little fishy by nature. Rooted in a belief in reusing anything possible, Maryanne found her niche in re-purposing gently used clothing. She loves shuffling through the racks at local thrift stores for t-shirts, cashmere, wool, and other articles of clothing that can be cut up and made into new, unique articles of clothing and accessories. Every item produced features her personally free-sewn whimsical image appliqués, making each piece a one-of-a-kind handmade work of art!

Not only will you want to live in Sardine Clothing Company's super soft up-cycled clothing, each purchase helps reduce how much textile waste ends up in landfills — making this a better planet!
