We make clothing from what already exists.

The Drift Collective is a homegrown brand built around a simple idea: there is already more than enough stuff in the world. So instead of starting with new materials, we start with what’s been left behind.

We source reclaimed textiles, secondhand clothing, surplus and imperfect goods, then bring them back to our studio in Eliot, Maine to be washed, repaired, deconstructed, dyed, printed, cut, sewn, and remade into something new. 

We manufacture in small batches, work with local artists and makers, and curate goods from independent brands we believe in. Everything we make is produced close to home, with an emphasis on quality, creativity, and keeping materials in use for as long as possible.

We believe good design doesn’t need to come at the expense of the people or places around us. It should connect us—to the materials we use, the people who make them, and the communities where they come to life.
