The Nest is a hub for all things sustainable fashion, which means that along with selling pre-owned items, they hold workshops and swaps for consumers to extend the longevity of their apparel.
Nestled in a West End neighborhood on Carpenter Street, be on the look out for their adorable coathanger bird logo on a building that looks like it’s made of gray Lego.
Sustainable fashion is more than a buzzword to co-founders Charlotte von Meister and Danielle Sturm; it’s a way of life. Both started their careers in retail and became disgusted and disillusioned by the disposable nature, tactics, and waste. “We started The Nest to address these faults in the industry by providing accessible, stylish, sustainable fashion, and subsequent services to elongate the lifecycle of the clothing in our beloved Providence community,” says von Meister. Over the past three years, they have added services based on their community’s needs and feedback. “Our storefront not only offers a secondhand store, but also an in-house tailor shop, as well as a variety of workshops and events, like sewing classes, knitting club, clothing swaps, and mending circles,” says von Meister. Additionally, The Nest is in the early planning stages of opening a textile donation center. “We have pinpointed the need for a sustainable textile donation center that recycles, re-purposes, and rehomes clothing right here in our community.”
