Chapter II

Welcome to Chapter II, where fashion gets a second chapter in life.

The world is yearning for more sustainable options, especially in the world of fashion. Every year, billions of clothes get produced and many end up in the back of our closets or in the trash. Chapter II believes that the solution is daring to be creative with the materials and items that have already been produced, as there is still so much value in these pieces.

Chapter II is the place where I upcycle and create new fashion items out of these second-hand pieces. I focus on creating feminine and elegant designs for everyday wear as well as special occasions.

Making sustainable choices can sometimes feel like we have to restrict ourselves in a way, but Chapter II sees this differently. I know for sure that being able to enjoy aesthetic and beautiful items can go perfectly together with making a sustainable choice. I don't only want you to feel good about making a choice that is great for our planet, but making you feel beautiful and special is just as important to me!

That is why all the items at Chapter II are totally unique. No piece is the exact same, as all the items that we upcycle are hand-picked in different stores and every item is handmade.

At the moment the products sold in the Chapter II Shop are only available in The Netherlands. At @chaptertwo.studio on Instagram and TikTok I hope to still be able to inspire you with content about handmade clothing, secondhand styling tips and behind the scenes footage in English. So for all of that and updates about future plans please follow Chapter II over there. 

The Owner

Hi, my name is Anoek 

As long as I can remember I have always had a big love for fashion. As a child I would create my own theatre plays and made costumes with random fabrics and objects in the house. Further on in my teenage years, I used to love buying lots of clothing items to be able to create different styles. However, my interest in sustainability started to rise and I saw that my love for fashion was having a negative impact on the world as I was buying only fast fashion. For a moment I felt like loving fashion and aesthetic things was something I wasn't truly allowed to enjoy anymore and that I had to restrict myself to live more sustainably. But my eyes opened when I entered a thriftstore and I realized that there are so many items that still have potential. I started picking up my hobby of sewing and upcycled pieces I found second hand. 

People around me complimented me on my outfits and were amazed that what I was wearing was second hand. 

That is why I created Chapter II, to inspire others and show them that sustainable fashion can be beautiful and fun. And to give them an opportunity to wear the items I am creating as well. 

So thank you for visiting Chapter II!
