Sustainable Clothing

Find our Sustainable Clothing Collection Available at our Store Front!

Spruce is built not only curated thrifted clothing, but also pieces purchased from the community— handpicked to create a specific style/brand represented mostly as everyday wear here on the coast. Collecting quality pieces that are designed to last, paired with a colour palette intentionally selected for an easeful minimalistic experience. 

You’ll find the racks at our shop are reasonable to look through, but rotate frequently.

For us, it is most important to get into business with an environmental foot forward—taking more responsibility for the goods we purchase and the clothing we wear and represent. Our passion for keeping things low footprint and resourceful lead us to build our brand on sustainable options. 

We purchase quality clothing from the community!

While our clothing collection will continue to showcase local brands and handpicked thrifted items, we also purchase quality clothing items from the community!

Items chosen from your bag are purchased upfront for 50% of the re-sell price
(no consignment structure) 

Due to the nature, style, and size of our small business, we are particular with intake. We encourage you to be selective with your pile for Spruce, bringing only 5 items per visit! Purchasing upfront leads us to be extra selective as we fully commit to each piece. Our goal is to operate from an ever rotating minimalist closet, housing pieces that easily complement one another, allowing for a simplified, stylish, curated spread. While our colour palette will bend with seasons; generally solids, neutrals, textures, and denim are common picks— choosing quality, unique pieces, fellow local brands, handmade items, or items designed to last.

Frequently asked Q&A

1) Is there a specific time to come? Do I need an appointment?
No appointment needed! Come anytime during open hours 10-5. Occasionally we will browse your items on the spot, often we will take your items, name, and number, and call you once we've made our choices.

2) What happens with pieces that don't sell? 
Since we buy your items upfront, we will not contact you to pick up unsold items.
Unsold items either find their way into our epic $5 bin, or get recirculated back into the community, donating to non-profit organizations, clothing swaps and school programs. Alternatively, some items are used for our up-cycled projects, aiming to be as resourceful as possible.

3) Can I simply donate clothing to your business?

Absolutely. We have had some great pieces graciously donated to us by folks of the community simply as a way to support our business. We appreciate these gestures! Even if you're choosing to donate, due to the size of our space, we still appreciate receiving just a few items at a time.

Friendly Reminders

We would kindly like to request all clothing coming into the store is in clean, like new condition, preferably recently laundered. 

If you haven't yet been to our store front before, we encourage you to visit prior to bringing clothing. This will help you to get a feel for the items we may accept.

If we didn't choose anything from your bag this time, please do try again.
We strive to be mindful of keeping a range of sizes, and a well curated palate to offer the best selection we can for everyone.
