What is Urban Renewal ?
At UO, they recognise that the future of fashion lies in its past. They believe every piece should tell a story and have carefully curated vintage collections since 1983. Today, their Urban Renewal team continues to hand-pick vintage clothing from their recycling partner, to not only uncover rare, one-of-a-kind pieces, but to also give new life to damaged and unwanted clothing. At their UK vintage wholesaler's alone, they save over 260,000 pieces of clothing every year that could otherwise be destined for landfill.
Know Your Vintage
The world of vintage and secondhand clothing is huge. The term 'vintage' is used all the time, but there are many different kinds of vintage clothing, so it can be hard to know where to start. Here's a quick guide to vintage at Urban Outfitters to help you understand where your latest finds are from and if they have been altered in any way.
- Vintage sizes can be very different from modern sizing, so always check the size guide.
- When you buy a vintage item online, you will recieve a completely unique vintage piece in that style. Therefore the garment you receive won't be exactly as pictured. But don't be disappointed - you've bagged yourself an original piece no one else has!
- Remade From Vintage pieces are hand finished and completely unique, so the item you receive will vary from the style pictured online.
- One-of-a-kind pieces don't stick around - if you like it, grab it, because once it's gone it's gone!
