Welcome to The Conscious Exchange

We are an Eco & Vintage boutique located in Islington NSW, (about 5 Minutes out of Newcastle CBD) that caters to lovers of Vintage and Preloved Clothing for Women, Kids and Babies.

Founder Emma Simcox, started her vintage label just over 3 years ago and quickly expanded into needing a physical space after developing a strong desire to create a one stop shop where you could get all your eco friendly essentials in the one place and this is when the idea Conscious Exchange was born.

I"If we can't find it vintage or 2nd hand, we try to get it in the best version new"! This is our company moto, which means we try to always pick the 2nd hand option first, but if we can not we try to get all products made as sustainably as possible. This means to us sourcing as local as we can and making sure the brands we stock have a matching ethos to ours to do as little aim to people and our planet.

Your vintage, preloved and eco goodies will arrive in minimal packaging to reduce waste. Recycled materials are used if extra padding is needed, and i encourage you to reuse these and then recycle/compost at the end of it's useable life!
