Beyond the brand name
Keeping style personal
At Artifact, we value quality pieces that bridge the gap between timeless & trendy — without ever feeling stuffy or snobby.
So, we’ve developed an important criteria that helps us determine if a garment is right for us, and it all comes down to style, cut, and fit.
At the end of the day, we don’t care where that cool shirt (or couch) came from, if we believe someone else will love it, we’ll sell it for you! We’re here to share joyful, funky, fabulous items, all while celebrating the stories behind them.
Call us radical, but our core philosophy is all about keeping well loved items out of the landfill.
BUILT FROM THE
GROUND UP
our
foundational values
Community
For us, it’s not about reinventing the wheel. It’s about getting in touch with hardworking locals who are already doing the work to amplify and expand their reach. This is even more important when it comes to uplifting historically underserved communities, and we’re mindful about choosing partners with a personal stake in the work they do.
Design
Design is so much more than simply an arrangement of beautiful things; it’s a way of thinking. For us, it always comes down to joyful personal expression! Form follows function, and we believe in design as a mindset that can be applied multi-dimensionally, to create something more than an aesthetic: an experience.
Sustainability
We’ve made a commitment to environmental stewardship that guides every decision we make. We’re big on using our resources responsibly, finding innovative solutions to common problems, and balancing our economic success with our ecological footprint. After all, global progress begins on a local level.
community comes first
‘cause we care
Donations that do good
Second chances aren’t just for clothes and furniture. We believe that big impact starts with small choices. Our $1 Funday Flea is a great example of how the little things really add up.
