Founder’s Story

Reclaim’d didn’t begin as a business idea.
It began with a cabinet.

A beautiful vintage cabinet that belonged to my mother — the kind of piece that had lived a full life long before it ever came into my hands. It held all the things she cherished, family secrets, and the little tokens of a life well lived. When I inherited it, I felt blessed to have it in my home. It was a piece of my mother — something she loved, something she cared for. But as time went on, I realized that as much as I adored the memories it carried, it just wasn’t my style.

Still, I couldn’t let it go.
Not something with that much history.

So one quiet afternoon, I decided to give it a second chance.

As I sanded the doors, I kept thinking about the hands that had touched it before mine. The moments shared. The stories that lived in the quiet corners of that cabinet. I wasn’t just restoring a piece of furniture — I was reclaiming a piece of her.

And in that moment, something clicked:

Every reclaimed item has a story.
And every story deserves a second life.

The more I restored, the more I realized how many people had treasures tucked away — vintage finds, inherited pieces, one-of-a-kind items — things they no longer needed but couldn’t bear to toss. And just as many people were searching for pieces with soul, character, and history… but had no easy way to find them.

I looked for a marketplace that honored creativity, sustainability, and storytelling —
one that made it simple for people to buy and sell meaningful reclaimed pieces.

It didn’t exist.
So I built it.

Reclaim’d is my love letter to the past and a promise for the future.
It’s a home for pieces that matter — the ones that carry memories, craftsmanship, and soul. It’s a place where buyers and sellers meet over shared values, not mass production. A place where sustainability meets creativity, and where every listing is a chance to pass on a story.

This isn’t just a marketplace.
It’s a movement — away from disposable culture and toward meaningful living.

It’s a celebration of the idea that old doesn’t mean obsolete…
It means loved.
It means worthy.
It means ready for someone new.

I built Reclaim’d for people like me — people who see beauty in the imperfect, potential in the forgotten, and stories in the pieces others overlook.

And I built it for the memory of my mother…
because sometimes, the things we reclaim end up reclaiming a part of us, too.

Welcome to Reclaim’d.
Where every piece has a story —
and every story deserves its next chapter.
