Our story

Sardine Clothing Company started in 2008 with one woman and a sewing machine making kids clothing from thrift store finds. After a few years, it is still one woman (and friends!) and A LOT of sewing machines making fun “everyday favorite” skirts and accessories from even more thrift store finds.

I am Maryanne Petrus-Gilbert, and I am a little fishy. I believe in reusing anything you can and my little part is re-purposing gently used clothing. I love shuffling through the racks at my Salvation Army for t-shirts, cashmere, wool, and other articles of clothing that can be cut up and made into new, unique pieces of clothing and accessories.

Your purchase of any of Sardine Clothing Company’s up-cycled items helps reduce the amount of textile waste in landfills and greenhouse gases which improves our environment and makes this a better planet!
