Hey I'm Hannah,
and I started And/Or Studios in 2023 with my fiance, Liam, out of our tiny Toronto apartment because I felt like the merch industry needed a shake-up.
Why did I start And/Or Studios?
And/Or Studios is the love child of my second-hand shopping addiction, desire for sustainability, and need for individual expression.
Fun Fact ...
And/Or Studios is named after a song Lyric from Into the Woods:
"Let the moment go
Don't forget it for a moment, though
Just remembering you've had an "and"
When you're back to "or"
Makes the "or" mean more
Than it did before"
I also tattooed it on my legs, haha
Standard merch is all the same
- brand-new, mass-produced, products that feel starchy and impersonal. With 92 million tonnes of textile waste each year, I strongly believe that no new clothing needs to be added to this earth. Since we only use second-hand & vintage clothing, I hope to play a small role in minimizing that number.
Our Values
-
Individuality
We celebrate the uniqueness of every fan. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, allowing fans to seamlessly incorporate artist merch into their daily wardrobe by finding clothing that suits their personal style outside of the branding.
-
Sustainability
Our approach to sustainability is straightforward: we exclusively source second-hand and vintage pieces. In our world, there's no place for generating new textile waste. Instead, we're dedicated to breathing new life into clothing that might otherwise end up in a landfill.
-
Inclusivity
Our clothing is gender-neutral and size-inclusive; if it feels great, it's yours. We strive for a welcoming space where all can celebrate their favorite artists in comfort.
