A Movement to Save Historical Fashion.

Imagine a world where the elegance and craftsmanship of past eras are forgotten, where historical garments and objects fall into decay. I’m on a mission to change that. Join me in preserving the timeless beauty of historical fashion and artifacts!

As a small company with big intentions, we are dedicated to saving, conserving, and properly housing endangered fashion pieces and historical objects. While we promise to give these treasures the care and home they deserve, if for any reason we cannot, we will ensure they find a safe place where they will be preserved for future generations.

How You Can Help:

  • Costume Gifts or Contributions are gratefully accepted to help support this vital work. Your generosity will allow us to rescue and conserve more pieces that are at risk of being lost forever.

  • If you prefer, pay-for services such as our subscription packages will also go directly toward our preservation efforts, offering you exclusive rewards for your support.

Your Reward for Contributing:

  • Your Name in the Archive: Donors will be credited in our Historical Fashion Archive, forever recognized for their role in saving these invaluable pieces of history.

  • Exclusive Video Access: Every item we save will be featured in a special video detailing its history and conservation process. To view these videos, simply subscribe to one of our subscription packages.

  • Behind-the-Scenes Access: Subscribers will also receive early access to exclusive content, including updates on our latest projects and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the restoration process.

Your donation will directly help:

  • Rescue and conserve endangered garments and historical objects from the brink of loss.

  • Ensure that each item is safely housed and cared for by our dedicated team, or transferred to a trusted conservator if needed.

This movement is about more than just saving fashion—it’s about protecting our shared history and cultural heritage. With your support, we can give these treasures the respect and home they deserve. Let’s work together to preserve the past for future generations.
