01. JApan ->

We procure secondhand clothing, affectionately referred to as “rags,” from our trusted supplier in Japan, Ecommit.

02. Chicago ->

Once our rags arrive, the fun begins as we dive into the art of unstitching these old garments, unraveling their stories thread by thread! ✂️🧵

03. Re-design ->

After we fully unravel our pre-loved rags, we reimagine them into one-of-a-kind, gender-fluid creations that are truly original. 🌈✨

Meet Shuto and Yua.

Seeking a deeper connection with vintage fashion, Kelly and I traveled to Japan, searching for like-minded enthusiasts. This quest led us to Shuto and Yua, a couple whose profound understanding and passion for vintage clothing instantly resonated with us.

Collaborating with Shuto and Yua has broadened our horizons. Their expertise in identifying and curating vintage pieces is invaluable. They taught us to see beyond the fabric, to understand the journey of each item, and to appreciate the craftsmanship of eras gone by. This experience not only enriched our collection but also deepened our understanding of vintage fashion.

Our partnership with Shuto and Yua has been a pivotal chapter in our journey. Together, we’re committed to bringing a piece of history into the modern wardrobe, blending the old with the new, and continuing to share our love for vintage fashion with the world.

We are contributing 5% of each sale to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency to aid families in Palestine.

Now donating to Palistine.

Happy Belated is excited to usher in the New Year with a commitment to global healing through regular charitable contributions. Our current focus is on supporting Palestine.
