Sustainability Practices

"I’ve always had a passion for thrifting and reworking vintage clothes since I was in college. I began selling vintage rework items in 2015 as a side hustle, which turned into something that I really enjoyed doing in my spare time. The very first rework style that I made in 2015, was a one-shoulder crop and bodysuit. That is when the spark of excitement to continue to rework items and create something special came to fruition to where I am today."

 - Jasmine James, JJ Vintage founder


JJ Vintage wants to recreate clothes in an effort to reduce waste in the environment while still being fashionable. It creates unique pieces by cutting and sewing old clothes. Its mission is to recycle, reuse, and repurpose.

Its clothes are made from used garments made of mostly cotton, polyester, nylon, and spandex.

Jasmine James makes clothes that are eco-minded. She repurposes used clothing that would otherwise be discarded. She says: "You can still be fashionable while trying to save the world."

The brand doesn't sell any clothes with animal-based materials at the moment but doesn't state that it's 100% vegan either.


Sustainability Goals

JJ Vintage doesn't have any clear sustainability goal or timeline to reduce its water and carbon footprint in the future.
