our story

Your Sisters Closet is a curated vintage and pre-loved clothing boutique, founded in 2020 by Danielle Ghaney. YSC collections embody comfort, versatility, and uniqueness. Pieces are a blend of 90's inspired and modern feminine. In addition to our curated collections, we also offer a variety of in-person styling services in the Calgary area.

 

When we first launched in 2020, Your Sisters Closet jump started through Instagram. We operated primarily through our website, dabbling in local pop-ups and events for our first year.

 

In 2021, Danielle teamed up with Change is Good, a social enterprise that funds the life-changing addictions programs at the Calgary Dream Center. CIG is located in Inglewood at 1317 9 ave SE and was the first permanent retail location to shop YSC collections in Calgary. To this day, you can still shop exclusive YSC collections upstairs at CIG among other local vendors.

 

In 2022, we partnered up with Tyeesha Street (owner of Modern Civic) to create Worn Studio, a brick and mortar located in Inglewood at 915 9 avenue SE. As co-shop owners, Worn Studio is a blend of both of our styles, personalities, & values. Worn Studio carries clothing, accessories, and home goods with a focus on sustainability, fair pricing, and quality.

the inspiration

"While I was backpacking through Asia, I felt weirdly (or so I thought at the time) inspired in the wake of my grandmas passing. I was in Hoi An, Vietnam and I was surrounded by all these handmade clothes and impressive tailors. It came to me, I wanted to create something my grandma would be proud of me for. All my life she was aways on my case about recycling, not being wasteful, finishing ALL my food before leaving the table, etc. But above all that she was the most supportive person in my life!

I have always had a love for clothing and felt a sense of self-expression through fashion. I use to come home after school and try-on outfit after outfit as I tried to get more creative with my clothing and how I was styling it. I also always wanted to work for myself, on my own terms and Your Sisters Closet let me achieve that. While this was created in memory of my grandma, this is only my first endeavour into fashion. I have learned and continue to learn so much with this company"
