How I Curate My Sustainable Fashion Collection


A Peek Inside My Closet

Welcome to my world! I'm Leslie Juvin-Acker, J.D., and I’m excited to take you inside my curated closet here in Castelnaudary, France. Over the past 20 years, I’ve built a wardrobe filled with vintage, second-hand, and designer finds, all sourced sustainably from dealers, thrift stores, yard sales, and flea markets around the world.


Why Sustainable Fashion Matters to Me

For me, sustainable fashion isn’t just a trend—it’s a way of life. The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions, and I’m passionate about doing my part to reduce waste and promote ethical consumption. By choosing pre-loved and high-quality pieces, I not only build a unique wardrobe but also contribute to a more sustainable future (source).


How I Mix & Match to Create My Unique Style

I love collecting hats, perfume, shoes, blazers, and belts—each piece adds a creative touch to my looks. Fashion is more than just clothing; it’s an extension of who I am. Psychologists say that what we wear impacts our confidence and mental well-being, and I couldn’t agree more! Dressing in a way that feels authentic to me enhances my mood and overall energy (source).


How I Care for My Wardrobe

To keep my clothes in great shape, I use simple care techniques like steam cleaning and air-drying. These methods help preserve fabrics while being eco-friendly. Studies show that air-drying clothes significantly reduces energy consumption and extends fabric longevity (source).


My Secrets to Finding High-End Pieces for Less

Luxury fashion doesn’t have to break the bank! I’ve mastered the art of finding designer pieces at a fraction of the price. Shopping second-hand allows me to own high-quality items while supporting sustainable fashion. Retailers like The RealReal confirm that buying pre-owned designer fashion can save up to 80% off retail prices while promoting circular fashion (source).


Balancing Fashion with My Busy Life

As a mom, business owner, and wife, I know how hard it can be to keep up with personal style. But I’ve learned that making time for self-care—including fashion—boosts confidence and productivity. Harvard Business Review even supports the idea that self-care habits, like dressing well, improve overall performance and mindset (source).


Why Fashion Should Reflect Your Authentic Self

Fashion is about more than just looking good—it’s about feeling good. My closet reflects my creativity, personality, and values. I believe that by curating a sustainable, stylish wardrobe, we can make conscious choices that align with who we truly are.
