A great benefit of purchasing vintage or Y2K clothing is that, since it either is secondhand or unused inventory that are donated, it means that, through your purchase, you’re contributing to the recycling community.  Moreso, another thing you may not know — aside from purchasing pre-loved clothes, you can donate to the ReStore any unwanted clothing and these, in turn, can give other individuals awesome, stylish, cool, or vintage clothing finds.  The ReStores have and accept tops, like T-shirts, tank tops, collared, knitted, patterned and sequin tops. Bottoms, like jeans, joggers, shorts and skirts. Dresses that are flowy, casual, floral, fancy, long, short and for the summer. Jackets, cover ups and sweaters. Accessories like scarves, hats, bags, purses, glasses and jewelry, like earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets. Shoes like high heels, sneakers, hiking boots, rain boots, and more for Men, women, children, etc.  All these form a circular economy, meaning you’re donating for others to purchase which allows them to reuse the clothing you may be thinking of throwing out.  Cool, eh?

Our ReStores help save the environment, because something that might have ended up in a disposal site, refusing to biodegrade can now have a second chance at life in your closet. Purchasing items that already exist prevents existing clothes and other products from creating waste of energy and resources. That being so, Our ReStores help sustainability by recycling used clothing and give everyone endless fashion possibilities.

There is amazing fashion in 2021, join in and find many vintage, one-of-a-kind outfits for the best prices.  It’s highly unlikely that anyone else is walking around in the same clothes as you.  Inspire others to have a look for themselves, benefit the environment, plus be outstanding, unique and, at the same time, look incredible.

The Habitat HMD ReStore is an amazing place to shop for used stuff like furniture, appliances, kitchens, clothes & accessories, home décor, doors, electronics, building materials, and more.  Some are unused and brand new and all are generously donated by companies and people from our community of Halton Region (Burlington, Oakville, Milton and Halton Hills), Mississauga and Dufferin (Orangeville, etc.).  Every visit to the ReStore is different, and every purchase helps support the home building projects in our communities. We also help save the environment through recycling and upcycling of pre-owned items.
