Giorgio Armani, who designed the uniform of aspiration that both defined the 1980s and shaped the course of fashion beyond it, has died. His passing was confirmed by the company.

It's that time of year again! September isn't just about fall glow ups, it's also time to slow down and pledge your support for Second Hand September.

At Save Our Sequins, we believe that the most glamorous and stylish clothes are the ones with a story to tell. Fast fashion gives us a fleeting moment of sparkle, but it comes at a huge cost to the environment.

Why is this so important for sequins? Sequins are a forever item. They're not just for one party! A vintage sequin piece is a durable, long-lasting item that deserves a second (or third!) life. Fast fashion can't replicate the unique craftsmanship, exquisite materials and beautiful details of a truly vintage sequin piece.

This month, make a choice to treasure your clothes, celebrate style with a conscience, and say yes to pre-loved sparkle! ✨ How are you supporting Second Hand September? We’d love to know! 👇

It's nearly September, which means one thing... the Great Pumpkin Spice Debate! 🎃☕ While we love a good autumnal treat, we've got a question for you:

**What if you swapped that daily PSL habit for a little something extra special? 😉**

Imagine this: Instead of *another* $7 on coffee, you could be saving up for a dazzling, one-of-a-kind vintage sequin piece that will last you countless autumns (and get you infinitely more compliments!).

Think about it:
🌟 **Sequins:** Forever sparkle, sustainable style, unique find, instant mood boost.
☕ **PSL:** Delicious, but fleeting... and how many do you really need? 😉

We're not saying ditch the latte entirely (we get it!), but maybe, just maybe, make room in your budget for a little more sparkle this season! ✨ Your wardrobe (and the planet!) will thank you.

Tell us: Are you Team PSL or Team Sequins this autumn? Or can we have both?! 👇

(And PS that image is AI, we didn't manage to harvest a magical sequins pumpkin!)

Goodbye, summer sunshine, hello autumn leaves! 🍂 As the days cool down and we start dreaming of pumpkin spice and cozy knits, it's time to lovingly put away our shimmering summer vintage sequins. These dazzling pieces have seen us through many memorable moments, and a little extra care now will ensure they sparkle for seasons to come!

Vintage Sequin Care Tips for Storage:

Gentle Cleaning First: Before packing them away, ensure all sequinned items are clean. For delicate vintage sequins, spot cleaning with a damp cloth or a very gentle hand wash (if the fabric allows) is usually best. Always check for loose sequins beforehand!

Air Dry Completely: Make sure everything is absolutely dry before storing to prevent mildew or damage to delicate embellishments.

Proper Storage: Lay sequinned garments flat in acid-free tissue paper or unbleached cotton bags. Avoid hanging heavy sequin pieces for long periods, as this can stretch or damage the fabric.

Cool, Dry Place: Store them in a cool, dry, and dark place away from direct sunlight, which can fade colours and damage delicate materials.

Moth Protection: If storing wool-blend sequined items, consider natural moth repellents like cedar blocks or lavender sachets.

Stepping into a thrift store is like going on a treasure hunt, and nothing beats the thrill of finding that perfect vintage gem! It's the moment when you spot a unique pattern, a classic cut, or a detail you just won't find on the rack today.

Every vintage piece has a story—from the person who wore it to the era it comes from. By choosing to thrift, you're not just finding a one-of-a-kind item for your wardrobe; you're giving it a second life and making a powerful choice for the planet. It's fashion with a past and a future.

That post-vacation reality check is hitting hard. Your calendar says "back to work," but your heart is still wearing a vintage sequins on holiday. ✨

Why settle for the end-of-summer blues when you can have dopamine dressing? We believe the best way to transition back into routine is with a little sparkle. A sequin top has the power to turn a Monday meeting into a glamorous event.
