Why Shop?

We're Your Online Local Sellers Marketplace

My name is Cate, Founder of Wearing Conscious. I wanted to create an online marketplace combining the convenience of online shopping with the local, sustainable, and artisanal flair of an arts and crafts market. That's what Wearing Conscious is all about: Bringing together a vetted, curated selection of local, handcrafted, artisanal, sustainable, and secondhand sellers into one unified online marketplace.

High Standards for All Wearing Conscious Brands

Since 2018, I've been blogging about my journey away from cheap, inferior foreign goods in favor of buying less 'stuff' and opting for well-made, environmentally harmonious, buy-it-for-life items that I genuinely need. We guarantee that everything we offer for sale through our marketplace meets those high standards.

A Scam-Free, Positive Online Shopping Experience

Long before tariffs became a widespread public concern, foreign sellers in online marketplaces were a widespread problem for US-based customers. I saw my friends, my family, and myself fall prey to many online scams by foreign sellers through Amazon, Poshmark, Depop, and Walmart Marketplace. Scams are so common on these marketplaces that substantial spaces in online forums, such as Reddit and TikTok, are devoted to exposing them.

Even more common than outright scams, like so many of us, I've had poor online marketplace shopping experiences that left me feeling ripped off. I've said NO to those marketplaces and committed to Wearing Conscious becoming a viable alternative that can be trusted.
