Who Are We?

Hello, I'm Sophie Harvey, the founder and editor of Preloved. I'm gearing up for an exciting new journey with the Preloved Project. For those who don’t know, we're a community-based, independent publishing company dedicated to fostering positive lifestyle, sustainable homes, and creative wellbeing. Operating for two years, we've relied heavily on sales for each edition to propel us forward, but we've reached a pivotal moment. While we've organically grown, we now need financial support to continue thriving. Our aim is to secure sufficient funds to enable us to cover our costs for 2024 achieving even greater heights. We currently have 300 subscribers, reached 14 countries with over 50 international readers, We're immensely proud and grateful for the journey so far.

Our Reach & Vision

1700656420_img_3118.jpg

Collaborating with over 500 creatives, writers, stylists, photographers, and small businesses, we collectively nurture the publication through themed editions. Showcasing culture, identity, equality, and embracing diversity as wherever possible. Preloved Magazine is curated for collectors, preloved advocates, vintage sellers, interior stylists, interior inspiration, anyone who’s curious about sustainability, creatives, preloved small businesses, and like-minded individuals. It's a platform for connection and inspiration. We're dedicated to exploring seasonal trends, fostering an ambiance where preloved and sustainability seamlessly blend into your life and living spaces. Drawing inspiration from repurposed preloved items and promoting lifestyle and culture. Our publication is deeply committed to celebrating the creative economy.

Ethics, Ethos and Going Forward  

1700656453_img_3116.jpg

Preloved Magazine is poised to become your go-to publication; offering you an opportunity to pause, find inspiration, and enhance your overall well-being and lifestyle. It's a beautiful tapestry of vintage and decorative celebrations all in one place. Each edition features special "Preloved Projects" showcasing exceptional stylists at the forefront of the vintage and the interior design world. With each issue, we have special guests that we're certain you'll adore. You can expect the latest style inspiration from top designers, artists, creatives, writers, columnists, and businesses. We've been entirely relying on the funds from each edition to bankroll us onto the next one, but this just isn’t sustainable and we have no option other than to crowdfund for next year. The increase in costs have become too high for us to continue in this way.

Why Should You Support Preloved?  

1700656477_img_3120.jpg

Preloved is very different from most mainstream publications. We are not for profit and this ethos will remain. The community we are creating is far more important and we intend to continue paving the way to provide something readers really want - to feel inspired by everyday homes and lifestyle, and to read stories from everyday people who are living a life that aligns with the Preloved values. Plus bringing our readers inspiration from some incredible creatives. Things will be slightly different in our operations as Preloved moves away from the Stone and Sage shop into its own entity, with the support of this campaign.

Wellbeing and The Community 

1700656503_img_3117.jpg

We are incredibly fortunate to have such dedicated customers and readers who share our vision. Our aim with Preloved is to foster a slower pace of life, encouraging a break from the digital world, to embrace a more grounded and present way of living. What better way to achieve this than through our magazines. Preloved serves as a gentle reminder to savour the moment, stay in the present, relish life's small joys, and find inspiration in sustainable living. We can't wait to introduce you to the incredible creatives and contributors who are a significant part of the Preloved community.

2024 "A Year in Print" is going to be epic!

Connection and Gratitude 

1700656537_img_3115.jpg

Let's reconnect with one another through our publications, promote wellbeing, embrace all emotions, and hit the pause button on life's hustle and bustle. We have a huge variety of wonderful incentives within our crowdfunding campaign; don’t forget they would be perfect for gifting this Christmas too! With deep gratitude and kindness, we want to express our thanks for believing in our vision. Any support you can show this project will be gratefully received by the Preloved collective. 

We cannot wait to share the next chapter with you! 

The Pledges!

We have worked tirelessly over the past two years and it is now time to shift how we fund the publication. We need to raise £12,000. This amount will cover the costs of 3 print runs of 500 copies plus all of the packaging and postage costs. In an ideal world, raising beyond £12,00 we could invest in a website and advertising, plus we’d love to offer support to some community based projects.

Please help us to support the dreams of the hundreds of amazing creatives & small businesses we have and will connect with - Love Sophie
