More families now need assistance to keep their housing and access supportive services, supplies and resources. Others require emotional support just to get through their day. The WOC helps these families, but is only able to do so with your help! This is an URGENT need. WOC’s goal is to raise $30,000 immediately to continue to provide support to our community. Please help us to help the most vulnerable citizens of Tompkins County and Onondaga County. Thank you!

““If you are someone with a few hours to spare each week and would like to work with women, make a positive contribution to our community and have fun doing it, I have just the job for you: Volunteer at the Women’s Opportunity Center. I have been fortunate enough to be a volunteer here for the last year and a half and can honestly say that I have rarely had any experience that is as rewarding as this one. It’s a wonderful way to assist the women of our community.” Margaret Dennis

Threads of Change

Welcome to our vibrant world of eco-fashion! Join us on a stylish journey where fun meets sustainability. Let's dress boldly, live courageously, and change the world, one eco-friendly outfit at a time!

Welcome to Mary Durham Boutique, where we believe in fashion with a purpose! Let's dive into the wonderful world of eco-friendly fashion and explore why it's not just about looking good; it's about feeling good too.

At MDB, we understand the importance of confidence for women. That's why we offer a wide selection of gently loved fashion pieces that not only boost your confidence but also won't break the bank. By choosing pre-loved items, you're not only saving money but also contributing to a more sustainable fashion industry.

But why exactly should you opt for eco-friendly fashion? Well, let's break it down.

First off, buying secondhand clothing promotes sustainable fashion practices. It's a crucial step in the slow fashion movement, which encourages us to be more mindful of our clothing choices. By giving pre-loved garments a new life, we're reducing the demand for new production and minimizing our environmental footprint.

And let's talk about uniqueness! When you shop secondhand, you're bound to find one-of-a-kind pieces that you won't see anyone else wearing. Vintage finds? Check. Rare gems? Double check. Embrace your individuality and stand out from the crowd with our curated selection of pre-loved treasures.

But it's not just about style; it's about making a positive impact on the planet. By choosing secondhand over fast fashion, you're helping to combat the throwaway culture that's so prevalent in today's society. You're saying no to excessive waste and yes to a more sustainable future.

And the benefits don't stop there. Buying secondhand clothing also supports ethical fashion practices. It's a way to stand in solidarity with garment workers worldwide and advocate for fair wages and safe working conditions. Every purchase you make sends a powerful message to the fashion industry: we demand transparency, accountability, and respect for human rights.

But don't just take our word for it. The secondhand fashion market is booming, with more and more consumers embracing the thrill of the hunt and the joy of sustainable shopping. From affordability to sustainability to exclusivity, there's something for everyone in the world of eco-friendly fashion.

So why wait? Join us at Mary Durham Boutique and embark on a fashion journey that's as bold and courageous as you are. Together, let's make a difference, one stylish outfit at a time.
