Their store is about the idea that fashion and eco-consciousness can go hand in hand. They call themselves “a vibrant community of fashion enthusiasts and sustainable fashion advocates.” This store is unique in the way they have what is called a closet cleanout, where they allow individuals to purchase hangers and sell their clothes with 1404 collective, earning half the profit. This store not only has great vintage but is dedicated to connecting environmental morals with reselling.
