NICE TO MEET YOU
Hi, my name is Molly.
I decided to start this brand as a way to combine my passion for sustainability and fashion; I started out by creating custom articles of clothing, All pieces are second hand and are either hand painted, bleached, or altered to create a unique and beautiful piece. My goal is to show customers that recycled clothing can be beautiful, affordable, and help build a more sustainable future. Good Planet Apparel is committed to being a sustainable fashion brand that is a good choice for the planet, your wallet, and your style.

Where did my passion for sustainability originate?
My abroad and travel experience are the driving forces and inspiration behind the Good Planet Apparel brand. After high school graduation, I decided to take a leap of faith and take a gap year to travel the world. I spent the next two years working multiple jobs to save up for my seven month solo adventure. During my seven months abroad, I traveled to 27 countries, experiencing different cultures and discovering all that our beautiful planet has to offer.
When I originally started my journey, I was terrified to backpack across the world solo. This trip taught me so much about myself and this beautiful world we live in.
Looking back, travel was one of the most formative experiences of my life. Returning home after my seven months abroad, I wanted to continue to take the lessons I learned while abroad, and incorporate them into my daily life.
My time abroad empowered me to start this brand as a way to spread awareness for sustainable and ethical fashion. Traveling opened my eyes to the beauty, respect, and importance of preserving our mother earth. Travel taught me that I can do anything I put my mind to, including making a difference when it comes to the environment and climate change.
