My name is Meg and I live in NJ with my husband and son. Together, we hunt and dig NY/NJ/PA for secondhand treasure.
Our Vision:
We believe in mixing previously loved items into a home with more current items to give an otherwise bland space an eclectic look. Doing this allows you to decorate your home in a way that is unique, reuses items (often made better than ones produced today), and starts a conversation with your guests.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to share our vintage and antique discoveries with a wide audience. We want to connect them to a good home where they can be showcased as a part of a collection or used in your everyday life. Curated Clutter’s items are in need of a good home that will feature their unique inherent beauty.
Our Style:
We have been jokingly told we’re maximalists. We collect for a living! Some may consider us cluttered, but we just consider the things we keep as our ongoing collections. In order to create a story with so many items, we display related items together in a group of three or more. These collections can be fun and can make a serious statement about who you are or aspire to be. They can be a conversation starter for your guests or a way for you to connect with a loved one. Whether you’re into maximalism or minimalism there’s a place in your space for previously loved items.
Please take the time to read a little more on our store policies and why you should shop with us below. Feel free to contact us with any questions you have if it’ll help your decision making, clear up any possible confusion and ensure your purchase is a satisfying one.
+ Our Photos/Descriptions +
Photos are used as a part of the description of the item so please examine photos thoroughly before making your purchase. You may contact us if you find you need to review specific additional photos before making a purchase decision. That can be a close up on a flaw or an unrepresented angle.
Please note that there can be slight difference in color shown due to different monitor types and settings. Upon request through a direct message, we can send a photo using a common item with a “brand-regulated” classic color such as Coca-Cola so you can better understand if you’re viewing the color accurately on your screen.
+ Condition of Our Items +
Due to the nature of “vintage” and “antique” items, it is often the case they have seen use and been well loved by someone in their previous life. In buying previously loved items, you will find dings, scratches, scuffs, different colored patina or other ‘evidence’ of the items previous use. We don’t see these issues as “flaws” and feel this adds to the charm, history and character of our items. Age gives something special that contemporary items lack. However, we always do our best to describe and document items fully, accurately to provide full disclosure of an items condition prior to purchase.
+ How We Use Terms +
“Vintage” is something relating to and recognizable of a specific era such as “vintage 50s” or “vintage 80s” and is usually more than 20 years old. An “antique” is usually classified as being more than 100 years old.
+ Shipping +
We ship using the United States Postal Service which provides a tracking number upon creation of the shipping label. Transit times are provided by the carrier and may vary depending on your location. More information can be found at http://usps.com. We will combine shipping when possible. If you want to purchase more than one item, please contact us with your country/address to learn the combined shipping price. Items are packaged thoroughly to prevent bending or breaking using some recycled and some biodegradable shipping materials. Our goal is to utilize previously used but clean packing materials to keep them out of landfills. Your order will be shipped within 1-3 working days (excluding weekends and public holidays) after payment received. Please select an address where you know your package will be safe and received quickly. To avoid fraud, we only ship to the shipping address provided by the customer’s Etsy or PayPal account.
