Hello

I’m Kristen— founder of Patina & Paisley, where secondhand finds meet mindful living.
What started as a personal journey toward reducing waste and rethinking “stuff” has become a mission: keeping things out of landfills and giving them new life.

The story behind Patina and Paisley

My journey toward sustainable living began long before I ever thought of starting a business. As a child, I learned the value of creativity and resourcefulness through handmade clothes and hand-me-downs. Over time, that early experience evolved into a deep respect for mindful consumption and reducing waste.

Patina & Paisley was born from that evolution — a commitment to circular living, where we reuse, repair, and reimagine rather than discard. My goal is to help others find joy in secondhand treasures, make more intentional choices, and keep things out of landfills.

I believe small changes can make a big impact — and that style, sustainability, and substance can coexist beautifully.
