Hello!

Magnetism is my way of sharing mindfully curated vintage pieces, for everyday use and enrichment.

Shopping vintage & secondhand is my favourite way to remain eco-conscious while on the hunt for dream pieces that make me feel confident, authentic & unique. By buying vintage instead of new you are investing in well-made garments that are made to last, and giving them a new life by saving them from landfills.

Thank you for shopping small & secondhand! With every purchase, like, share and review, you are supporting my passion (and community) and making my day. Magnetism is a one woman show, and I am overwhelmed with the amount of love and support I've received over the past 6+ years. <3

A Curated Style Bundles is a unique way to build your dream wardrobe. You simply fill out a form detailing your inspiration, wishlist, and sizing, and I will source the perfect vintage pieces just for you! There are budget options starting at $200 CAD, which gives you a minimum of 3 hand-picked vintage pieces.
Each month there are limited slots available for the Style Bundles, and the bundles take around 4-6 weeks to ship. You can learn more and see available Bundles here!
I am so grateful to be able to give back to my community through Magnetism! I regularly donate a percentage of my profits to local organizations that support and uplift BIPOC and other under-supported communities through housing, food security, creative spaces and programs, informed mental and physical health care advocacy, and more.
You can see my donation history and learn more about Magnetism’s efforts to support my community here.
Modern sizing is painfully inconsistent and misleading! Because of this, all of my listings include full measurements of the items in inches, and offer a *suggested* size. These measurements should be compared to your own body-measurements, or the measurements taken from a piece of clothing you own and love.
Here is a comprehensive guide to taking accurate measurements.
Grounded’s recycled paper mailers are made from FSC-certified recycled wood pulp and are both compostable and kerbside recyclable.
Please remove any plastic labels that may be attached to your packaging before responsibly disposing of it.
Please wash your vintage items with care. I suggest hand-washing and hanging to dry, as it is gentle on the clothing and the environment :-). Alternatively, most items (excluding some delicate silk and wool) can be machine-washed delicately in cold water. I suggest keeping your vintage pieces out of the dryer!
*All clothing has been carefully washed with a gentle natural detergent prior to being sold, with the exception of some silk, wool, and leather pieces — which are sanitized/steamed accordingly. Leather accessories are conditioned using Parker Clay natural leather conditioner.
