What? A boutique whose heart is rooted in sustainable and style! If you are looking for 
ONE OF A KIND clothing AND a way to help the environment, this is your store!! 

"Opened in 2010 by Sanni Baumgärtner in Athens, Georgia, Community 

seeks to bring chic clothing to our clients while encouraging them to buy locally and 

sustainably. When entering the store, you’ll find an array of  redesigned

 vintage clothing and clothing handmade by local designers. 

We also offer women’s vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories." 

How do you sew sustainably? By producing products while diminishing/emitting 

as minimal pollutants as possible! The textile industry discharges toxic chemicals 

into the environment, uses pesticides and nonrenewable fabrics (such as synthetic 

polyesters and nylons), and consumes enormous quantities of energy. In contrast, 

sustainable clothing saves energy and natural resources. Sustainable textiles can 

range from pieces made from renewable or organic fibers, to vintage or re-used clothing.  

Where? 260 N Jackson Street in Athens 

When? Mon-Sat: 11am-6pm, Sun: 12-4pm
