Sacred Salvage

Giving the past a future.

At Born Yesterday, we believe in the art of sacred salvage — reimagining vintage, pre-loved fabrics that already carry stories. Softened by time and memory, each quilt, blanket, or linen holds marks of love and life. These aren’t flaws, but the soul of vintage fashion. Through thoughtful up-cycling, we transform these textiles into one-of-a-kind garments, honouring their history while shaping them for the future.

About Us

Born Yesterday is a Toronto-based, Canadian studio dedicated to turning forgotten fabrics into sustainable, stylish garments. Locally crafted in small batches, each piece celebrates individuality, reduces waste, and gives materials a well-deserved second chance.

Our Mission

Fashion that looks good and DOES good. 

We craft one-of-a-kind, bespoke garments from already-loved textiles — reimagined through upcycling to keep fabrics out of landfills and honour their stories. Each piece supports ethical, small-scale making and contributes to a circular, low-waste fashion system grounded in creativity, care, and environmental responsibility.

Sustainable Fashion

Consciously created, creatively reimagined.

Sustainability guides everything we do. We use only existing materials, design with zero waste in mind, and craft garments made to last. Every Born Yesterday piece is rooted in history, ready to continue its journey with you.
