Our founder and chief upcycler, Denise Willard, believes that every woman deserves access to designer looks without breaking her bank account. That's why in 2021 she launched Upcycled Gemz to bring you her one-of-a-kind handcrafted jewelry, leather goods and fashion accessories made from repurposed designer items. Denise also curates top trending fashion brands as well as vintage and in-demand pre-loved luxury items.

Did you know that many of the items you see in retail and online stores end up in landfills when they aren't sold or are returned? That's why Denise believes in recycling and reuse, and invests in overstock, wholesale and liquidation lots to save hundreds of pounds of fashion items from rotting away in landfills.

By shopping with Upcycled Gemz, you not only get amazing designer looks at reasonable prices, but you also help save the planet by keeping pre-loved items out of landfills.

Because many of our upcycled, vintage, and pre-loved luxury collections are one-of-a-kind, we recommend you make your purchase decisions quickly before an item you fall in love with is sold. If you need help putting together a look for yourself or someone else, please reach out, we are happy to help!
