The Branded Way - What We Do Branded has a unique business model. We are one of the only self-supplied vintage clothing stores, with inventory coming from our very own textile recycling facility, located outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our Method - How We Do It Thanks to our dedicated warehouse team of three, anywhere from 60-100,000 pounds of clothing are processed by hand each month. Each vintage item is pulled then sorted, laundered, and added to brandedinbutler.com before making its way to one of our two storefronts. Non-vintage clothing is also sorted. Businesswear is donated to nonprofits that provide affordable interview and office clothing to people in the local community, some of the modern brands are sold in bulk through our Wholesale Thrift page on Whatnot, and the remainder of the clothing is exported overseas and becomes part of the secondary clothing market in East Africa. Our Mission - Why We Do It “Turning clothing waste into sustainable fashion” Every year, over 11.3 million tons of clothing waste is added to American landfills (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2020, p. 4). Branded is on track to divert over 1 million pounds of textiles from landfills in 2023 alone, and we are striving to increase our annual total in the years to come!
