At Sadie & Sage, we know the fashion industry has a lot of work to do, and we're not claiming to have it all figured out. But we care deeply about doing things better, and this next chapter is our way of making a change.
For years, we ran a traditional retail website with ready-to-ship styles and standard processing times. But over time, we started to feel like the fast-paced model didn’t align with how we actually wanted to create or how we wanted you to shop. So we made the big decision to step back, hit pause, and rebuild with more intention.
Now, we’re back with a new approach: a pre-order only model. That means we only produce what’s been ordered. This helps us reduce waste, avoid overproduction, and slow things down in the best way. Every piece is made with purpose, and every order helps us stay true to our values.
We’ll also occasionally offer select ready-to-ship pieces in our “Life Happens” section — items that were originally created for wholesale but became available due to unexpected changes (because, well, life happens). These are small, limited drops and won’t follow the same pre-order timeline.
We're also making thoughtful improvements behind the scenes — from our manufacturing partners to our packaging — and while we’re still learning, we’re proud to be moving in the right direction.
Thanks for being part of the journey. We’re so glad you’re here.
