New York's First Remake Shop
Blue Greenie grew out of a simple conviction: that the things we discard still have worth — and that artists who reimagine them deserve to be supported.
We believe every city should have a Remake Shop, where giving away your old clothes means supporting a local maker, not just clearing out your closet. Where shopping, donating, and creating all connect into one community built around reuse.
Blue Greenie is that place - and we hope it's just the beginning
Founder Julie Kinkle has always believed good things deserve a second life
For more than 20 years, that belief paid the bills. Julie made a living hunting and reselling thrifted treasures in New York City. When the resale market shifted, a friend asked her what she really wanted to do. She said she'd always imagined working with her hands. Two weeks later, that friend showed up with a sewing machine.
What started as turning old cashmere sweaters into pillows became something more and Julie found her calling.
Since then, she's become a best-selling designer and built a marketplace for one-of-a-kind fashion. She believes upcycling isn't just a creative act, it's one of the most powerful things we can do for the planet and the artists who live on it.
Blue Greenie Remake Shop is her mission made real.
