Nice to Meet You

Fighting the toxic cycle of overconsumption and textile waste.

Your one-stop-shop for sustainable fashion

The Nest is a sustainable fashion collective fighting the toxic cycle of overconsumption and textile waste through our secondhand store, tailoring services, sewing classes, knitting accountability club, and clothing swaps. Together, we inspire creativity, authenticity, and sustainability by encouraging slow consumption, shifting mindsets, and ultimately diverting textile waste from landfills. Based in Providence, RI.

Meet the Founders

Charlotte von Meister

Charlotte believes in the power of fashion to express style and authenticity.

She earned a degree in Fashion Marketing and Management from Savannah College of Art and Design before moving to New York City, where she gained entrepreneurial experience working at the ground-level of two different start-up fashion brands.

Charlotte pivoted away from fashion after experiencing the wastefulness of the industry and started working as a professional organizer. Becoming certified in the KonMari Method™, she started a new career path helping people shed the excess in their lives, rather than pushing consumption.

Charlotte now uses The Nest as a platform to show people that they can be on-trend while still supporting the environment and their community.
