Why shop sustainable?
Fast Fashion is a horribly convenient way to kill the appreciation of craftsmanship and the planet all in one! LoftinLoaded focuses on better practices by using discarded clothes, accessories, furniture, etc. and turning them back into favorable personal items! The process of thrifting and up-cycling clothes allows the pieces to receive a new life while also helping to reduce carbon emissions, protect animal well-fare, and improve the overall health of ourselves and the Earth.
Why donate?
The benefits of donating local is that you get to see the improvement within your own home! You are able to get hands on with LoftinLoaded’s GiveBack Packs, pre-made utility packages for the homeless in our local areas.

What is P.O.D.s?
Simply, Print on Demands.
LoftinLoaded has a Threadless account, allowing our creative ideas to be readily available to order at your discretion.
Threadless works by artists submit designs, which are then voted on for a 10 day period by other users in the Threadless community. Once the scoring period has ended, the design receives a score from 1 to 5. This is used as a gauge by Threadless to decide what gets made into a product. A competitive but friendly way of creating more inpiring products!

Why are 1 of 1 original LoftinLoaded pieces priced the way they are?
Loftin prices her hand-made products based on the time and materials taken to complete the wearable art (base price). Then, she adds the factor of originality and functionality of the piece.
Loftin will hagal some times, usually not on her origian creations, though please communicate by emailing LoftinLoaded@Gmail.com with your budget expectations before committing to a commission piece of wearable art!
Why are LLLC’s stickers shiny?
LoftinLoaded LC uses a company, StickerApp, to print a more Eco-friendly option of sticker. Contrary to printing on typical vinyl, StickerApp allows the purchase of brushed aluminum stickers for a small price increase. The price is worth knowing the stickers are practically metal themselves.
The material is laminated with a PET film that features a UV screening, which helps to protect the stickers from fading or deterioration caused by weather and sunlight. The main advantage of brushed aluminum stickers is that they are PVC-free, making them a more environmentally-friendly choice. This means that they are free from harmful chemicals and materials that can harm the environment, so you can feel good about using them.
Why are sizes sometimes different than expected?
Thrifted and Vintage clothing is a reflection of the past! This includes the current sizing and tailoring features of back in the day. A vintage Large shirt, may only fit like a Medium would today.
That is why LoftinLoaded LC includes measurements in all of our online listed clothing (and stuff). This makes it easier to measure yourself to see how the clothes might fit before you buy!
Fun, Funky, & Fresh.
LoftinLoaded is an immersive creative experience, contrary to your other secondhand clothing or thrift store! Focusing on contributing to the public in the most sustainable ways possible, LoftinLoaded allows the opportunity for collaborative and innovative inspiration.
