Founded in 2008 by Maryanne Petrus-Gilbert in Philadelphia, Sardine Clothing Company is an independent, eco-conscious label rooted in the art of upcycling. Born from a desire to reduce textile waste, the brand transforms gently used thrift store finds—such as vintage t-shirts, cashmere, and wool—into vibrant, one-of-a-kind garments. Petrus-Gilbert, who started the company with a single sewing machine, continues to manufacture the pieces in-house alongside a small team, ensuring a highly localized and hands-on production process.
