Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS UPCYCLING?

Taking existing garments or products and repurposing them or their parts to create something totally different. In short, we love to reimagine a “meh” piece and make it “wow”.

WHY SHOP THE EDIT?

It's not easy or time-efficient to scroll through the seemingly millions of second-hand options from multiple sites, including many irrelevant to your search. Sometimes it's hard to even know what to search for in the first place! Even the best second-hand sites don't have the same trend information or inspirational edits that can help clue you into what looks fresh.  Our edit only shows you the most fashionable pieces, vetted by us for cut, color & quality, so you only need to check one place to see the zest of the zest.  

WHY TRY VINTAGE?

As a designer for large retailers, small vendors, and in-house brands, Zest Dressed, LLC founder Mollie Miller’s exposure to the fashion industry has given her a first-hand understanding of how wasteful production methods can be.  This experience fuels her passion for shifting peoples' perception of buying second-hand, as well as wanting to champion the small businesses and designer labels who share the common goal of reducing waste.  There are benefits to shopping consciously beyond helping the earth, including the excitement of each piece feeling custom, special, well-crafted and adding that spark to your closet that makes you excited to get dressed.
