autumn + bower's mission is to bring you vintage and salvaged pieces that exemplify our core traits so you can give them new life.

fashion is more than getting dressed. it has the ability to empower + allow you to express yourself without words, regardless of body type, tax bracket, pronoun, or skin color. we believe everyone deserves to feel beautiful and unique.

fashion does not have to be wasteful or pollutant. it can renew, repurpose, + flow. our motivation lies in the excitement and joy of discovering over-looked or discarded treasures + helping reduce garment industry waste through re-use.

fashion is what you want it to be. for us, it is finding harmony among natural textiles, architectural construction, thoughtful print, and curious texture. seeking this balance of considered detail + serene minimalism allows us to span decades for inspiration, bridging the gap between vintage niches or fleeting trends. 

we are thrilled to unite you + the piece you never knew you were missing. welcome to autumn + bower.
