THE PATINA SHOP
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, or purchase a pre-loved FOUNT bag at a lower cost. It’s all part of our commitment to sustainability and creating a circular fashion economy.
What is the Patina Shop?
At the Patina Shop, we bought back your eligible pre-loved FOUNT bags for store credit toward your next purchase. The amount of credit you received depended on the condition of the bag, and is 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!
The Restoring Process
After we collected these pre-loved FOUNT bags, they were taken back to the studio for restoring. This process included repairing straps, mending loose stitches, and refreshing the bag's leather.
When & Where?
Beginning Saturday, May 24th, visit us at any store location to shop gently-loved, pre-owned FOUNT bags that have been restored to their full glory. Stay tuned for more information about our next sell-back event!
Are prices negotiable?
Patina Shop prices are non-negotiable and have each been designated a price based on level of wear, restoration efforts, and style.
