“Shopping fast fashion brands is the OPPOSITE of good for the environment.”

Autumn, though you may know her as @thriftmechic, hails from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada where she developed a passion for thrifting and treasure hunting from an early age. After watching fellow content creators showcase their latest finds on social media, Autumn decided to give it a try herself. What started as Autumn’s secret hobby (literally) has grown into a platform of over 160,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok. Known for deals, steals and thriftspiration, Autumn is not a reseller, but rather, she hopes to encourage others to try shopping secondhand. As she puts it, everyone needs to experience the thrill of finding treasure.
