In cities big and small, the fashion landscape is undergoing a quiet but powerful transformation. The rise of conscious consumerism is reshaping wardrobes, as more people choose sustainability over fast trends and seek garments that carry both quality and meaning. Second-hand fashion—once a niche market—is now a thriving, stylish alternative. In the heart of Cambridge, New Zealand, Mint is bringing this movement to life. Founded by Grace in June 2020, Mint has quickly become a local favorite for pre-loved designer clothing. With a carefully curated selection for both men and women, every piece reflects Grace’s commitment to sustainability, quality, and community.
Sustainable Style, Locally Curated
Mint’s racks hold more than just clothing—they tell stories of craftsmanship, quality, and second chances. Each piece is handpicked from trusted brands, ensuring high standards for style and condition. Items spend four weeks at full price, then three weeks at half price before finding new homes or being donated to worthy causes. Everything is locally sourced, creating a shopping experience that supports the Cambridge community while helping reduce the 92 million tonnes of clothing waste generated globally each year.
A Space Built with Heart
Mint’s current location—bright, welcoming, and filled with character—is the result of Grace’s own hands-on vision. Once a mechanic’s workshop, the space was transformed using repurposed materials, creative DIY projects, and second-hand finds, from vintage badminton racket shelves to magazine-covered walls. Every corner carries Grace’s belief that fashion and spaces alike can be beautiful, functional, and sustainable. At Mint, shopping isn’t just about what you wear—it’s about the story you choose to be part of.
