The Sandhill Goods Story
Since 2021, Sandhill Goods has sought to bring new life to secondhand modern and vintage clothing and home goods by rehoming them with people who value shopping slowly, intentionally, and sustainably. We know that high-quality pieces that will last a lifetime are already out there waiting to be rediscovered.
We believe deeply in holistic sustainability, which puts people and planet over profit. Always.
Everything we do seeks to push forward this mission, which is why we donate 20% of profits each month to organizations that are doing critical social justice work in our community and across the United States. Some of the organizations we have supported through this effort are The Marsha P. Johnson Institute, Red Canary Song, Black Visions Collective, Women’s Medical Fund, MMIW USA, and many more.
All are welcome here.
Each item is handpicked & curated by us to bring you unique, affordable, sustainable style.

Hi! I’m Sami (she/hers), your curator, shop owner, and new thrifty best friend. I’m originally from Gainesville, FL, where I grew up and attended the University of Florida, earning a BA in Sustainability Studies.
I believe in transformative + restorative justice and abolishing all forms of punitive harm rooted in white supremacy and anti-Blackness — I am still learning AND unlearning constantly. When you support this shop, please know that you support and/or are open to learning about these ideals + values, as I feel they are integral to holistic, intergenerational sustainability.
This shop is not only an avenue to buy secondhand but also to build a community around sustainability, justice + community care.
Why "Sandhill Goods"?
Growing up in Florida, Sandhill Cranes have always been a symbol of home and comfort for me in times of change.
These migratory birds make their way south as they find warmth from the harsh winters of Northern American states and Canada. I used to see them fly over my favorite prairie and hear their calls as if to say “hello, again!” Now, living in Wisconsin, I see them return North after the chill of winter has passed. Though they have traveled far, they are still flying together.
I hope this shop holds true to the importance of the collective and how small choices can benefit the greater community. Sure, supporting slow fashion & buying secondhand won’t save the world on its own. But it’s a small piece of a greater puzzle that communicates our care for more than just ourselves.
