OUR MISSION

Born out of our love of preservation and enjoyment of vintage items, as well as a passion for creating, at Riverside Reloved we aim to run our business in a sustainable, earth friendly way. 

All of the items on our website are either handmade or are vintage pieces that have been cleaned up and restored. 

In the case of our Handmade items, we of course try and up-cycle and reduce waste as much as possible, ensuring that paint and stain are used until they are completely finished, sandpaper is used to its limit, wood offcuts are turned into other items as is our fabric and wool so nothing goes to waste.

Using everything we can and not creating needless waste means a lot to us. Our mission is to preserve and restore amazing vintage items and create new items you can treasure forever without hurting the planet in the process. 

Packaging & Postage

Our items are packaged to send out using recycled packaging material that is collected by us in a number of ways. We have also begun making our own packing wool as a way to recycle cardboard and paper made by our household. We encourage you to save this packaging and use it again at some point, or alternatively put it in your compost or recycling bin to ensure it is disposed of correctly. 

More often than not you will find that your items are shipped to you in either courier bags, off-brand reused cardboard boxes or courier boxes. We try and use as much reused cardboard and packaging material as possible and we would like to keep improving our packaging to make it as eco-friendly as possible and I don't like to see packaging go to waste. 

If you have any ideas or suggestions for how we can improve, feel free to send us an email as we are a small business, doing our best and would love to hear feedback.
