Frequently Asked Questions
Collection
Technically yes. We believe in giving great clothes a second chance, so we thoroughly source every garment in secondhand markets and vintage vendors in Europe. Gemme Collective garments have traces of previous life and small imperfections that we are happy to keep as there is beauty to them. That said, every Gemme Collective piece undergoes repair, remake and cleaning procedures to make sure they feel new and are safe for use.
Upcycling
is a creative and sustainable approach to recycling and reusing materials to give them a new and often improved purpose. It involves taking discarded or unused items and transforming them into something of higher value, utility, or aesthetics without breaking them down into their original raw materials.
Deadstock refers to brand-new, unused, and often vintage material that were manufactured but never used by brands or sold toconsumers. These fabrics are typically
stored in a warehouse, stockroom, or storage facility for an extended period of
time.
All our products are produced and/or upcycled in our micro factory in central Stockholm.
At Gemme Collective, our garments are tailored in EU sizes, ranging from 34 to 44, or XS to L. We intentionally design most of our styles with a loose or relaxed fit, accommodating a broader size spectrum based on individual styling preferences.
For context on fitting, please refer to our size recommendations and the model's measurements provided in the product description.
As each product is unique, we also provide customization services upon request. For such inquiries, reach out to us at customize@gemmecollective.com
