Introducing the Patina Shop—a new initiative from FOUNT, designed to give your pre-loved bags a second life. This program allows you to trade in your gently used FOUNT bags for store credit toward a new one. It’s all part of our commitment to sustainability and creating a circular fashion economy. 

What is the Patina Shop?

At the Patina Shop, you can bring in your eligible pre-loved FOUNT bags and trade them in for store credit toward your next purchase. The amount of credit you'll receive depends on the condition of the bag, so it’s a great way to give your bag a new home and refresh your collection at the same time!

What Makes The Patina Shop Special?

Not only is this a great way to refresh your collection, but it also supports our sustainability efforts. By giving your old bags a second life, you're helping reduce waste and promote a more sustainable fashion industry. You can look forward to seeing retired styles and limited-edition colors resurface from years past with an opportunity to purchase FOUNT pieces at a reduced price!

How Does It Work?

  • Gather your gently used FOUNT bags.
  • Bring your bags to one of our in-person selling days at one of our Cleveland stores.
  • Our team will evaluate the condition of your bag and offer you store credit based on that evaluation.
  • Use your credit toward a new bag, or anything else in-store!

When & Where?

  • Visit us at Pinecrest on Sunday, April 6th and Monday, April 7th from 11 am - 5 pm to sell us your pre-loved FOUNT!
  • Visit us at Crocker Park on Sunday, April 13th and Monday, April 14th from 11 am - 6 pm to sell us your pre-loved FOUNT!

Why Cleveland?

We’re piloting this program in Cleveland to see how it goes. If the response is great, we hope to expand the initiative to our other locations in the future. So, Cleveland, this is your chance to be part of something special!

The Restoring Process

Once we have collected these pre-loved FOUNT bags, they will be taken back to the studio for restoring. This process may include repairing straps, mending loose stitches, and refreshing the bag's leather. 

Stay tuned for an announcement on when these pre-loved styles will be for sale!
