Welcome to shopping slow, intentional, storied designs.

Shop Slow Sister is a project started by Shaina Gilstrap in her LA home studio.

SHAINA’S love for vintage started at an early age BEING RAISED BY A SINGLE MOTHER where growing up thrifting for second-hand goods was a necessity, not a luxury.

 

that love for finding treasure in a sea of chaos, SEARCHING FOR QUALITY OVER QUANTITY, bloomED throughout her life AS SHE IMMERSED HERSELF in the east and west coast art scenes.

she continues to grow her collection in search of LOVABLE unique vintage, silhouettes WAITING to be reworked, and all sorts of one of a kind pieces, just for you.

A B O U T

SHOP SLOW SISTER AIMS TO bring value back to lost objects of the past for an unforgettable future. Many of our handmade pieces are created from dead-stock silks, cottons, or linens that found their way to us from friends and studios discarding and downsizing on their inventories over the years. Instead of letting these lush materials rot in a landfill - which the EPA says we have burned approximately 11.2 million tons of fabric waste in 2017 alone - we had a better idea: to use these materials for the purpose they were created, TO BE ADORED. SO WITH EACH PIECE WE’RE thinking up unique garments and home goods as a HOPEFUL act in the right direction for our environmentAL FOOTPRINT IN THE GARMENT INDUSTRY. When sourcing our vintage collections they are hand selected for their quality, craftsmanship, and timelessness then we carefully restore, rework, and clean them to truly give the pieces new life.

We believe in the regenerative, slow fashion shopping experience. This means many pieces are designed to be completely one-of-kind. due to fabric stock, unique trimmings, and of course rare qualities from their hand-sewn creation NOTHING WILL BE EXACTLY ALIKE. We offer designs for she, he, they, them, and all of us - so don’t let the names fool you - shop the shop that best identifies with your YOU in the now.
