About UnknownQuantity

Sales 84
On Etsy since 2010
  • A distinctive collection of vintage and rare fabrics has been carefully built up over the span of more than 15 years.
  • Vintage images are also selected from our extensive collection of rarities, and made into collectable items.
  • Each piece is carefully concocted by hand, by curating specially selected pieces from our collection.
  •  

Unknown Quantity - chance encounters with rare delights

Apparel and accessories – Vintage, recycled, and new fabrics are carefully selected to create one-offs and limited runs, along with some hand-picked and modified vintage also being on offer. Our philosophy is to focus on form and originality, transcending trends and conformity; character and individual style are encouraged over trend-driven seasonal looks. By making our garments into lasting, collectible items that transcend fads or trends, another dimension of sustainability is added.

Stationery - 100% recycled paper is used as well as upcycled, usually vintage components, to create items intended to be treasured and collected. Greeting cards sometimes feature calligraphic accents amidst rare ephemera and original artwork.

Décor - Vintage and upcycled materials and pieces are presented to preserve the distinctive finds that have been painstakingly sourced; each piece is intended to be a collectable keepsake.

Coming soon- Psi-fi series
An illustrated series exploring the worlds of dreams, imagination, heart, and mind in an alchemical journey of transformation. Join us on social media for updates and release details, or stay tuned here.

All vintage items are quality checked, washed, and if necessary repaired or reinforced. The aim is to curate and present finds based on their iconic, collectable, and distinctive qualities as well as their rarity.

Please note that original design pieces are created by hand, so no two items are identical - this makes each item extra special, really!
