When it comes to vintage clothing, Sara Gourley of Frankie Collective is making a statement with a unique flair. Working out of Vancouver, Sara and her team have turned their passion for reworking vintage garments into a global career.
Having fallen in love with vintage at a young age, Sara’s passion for ’90s sportswear saw her amass a large collection of brands such as Nike, adidas, Polo Ralph Lauren, and FILA, in which she began creating unique pieces for women that no one else had done before.
Sara is helping bridge the gap between women and streetwear and runs a movement that not only offers sick clothing but also spreads a positive message about helping the environment and recycling clothing at all costs.

After sourcing a range of items from various vintage sources, Frankie Collective then work some magic and have created a whole range of amazing items. From the likes of bags reworked from hats and jackets to custom dyed and painted Carhartt pieces, the options are vast.
Thanks to their unique influence on the vintage market, Frankie Collective now stands at over 300k followers on Instagram, with plans to only grow larger and work with other brands. Their items often sell quickly so you’ll need to be quick if you’re looking to cop anything, but the creative juices are always flowing and they show no signs of slowing down.
