The Perfect Find
Chanda Luker found the perfect upcycled vintage school desk to display menus at the Fried Rice House in Farmington.
Hello
I opened Wears & Wares in February of 2023. I am delighted to have realized a vision that combines my love of reducing waste and repurposing; art; and community. I look forward to bringing you high-end women's and men's clothes; vintage items. I also offer workshops and rent formal wear through Jim's Formal Wear.
The shop features items on consignment, vendor items, as well as my own repurposed and vintage items. The carefully-curated collection is always changing so you will want to stop by frequently. Thank you for your business and for supporting the western Maine region.

Wears & Wares Cares
We believe in giving back to our community.
Donations
Clothing items are consigned on the shop floor for two months. If the consigner
chooses to donate clothes to the shop after they expire in two months
(which the majority of our consigners do), they are then sold on the sale rack and
a portion of the proceeds of those sales will go to a specific organization doing
important work in our community. In addition, we donate thousands of dollars in clothing to various organizations, including the Mt. Blue middle school, University of Maine at Farmington, and The Recovery Center.
More than $10,000 in cash and clothing has been donated to the following thus far:
Safe Voices; LEAP; Literacy Volunteers; Martha B. Webber Breast Care Center; United Way of Western Maine; Lewiston Recovery Fund through the Maine Community Foundation; Western Maine Play Museum Polio Plus through Farmington Rotary; Farmington Historical Society and the Farmington Area Ecumenical Heating Fund; UMF Johnson Scholars; The Recovery Center; and Mt. Blue Middle School.
Wears & Wears Cares' recipient organization this month is Literacy Volunteers.
Organizational Accounts
Organizations can also set up an account and encourage their staff and community members to consign items to benefit their cause. Current organizations include the UMF Johnson Scholars Student Emergency Fund; LEAP, Inc.; United Way, Western Maine Friends of Ukrainians; Farmington Rotary; Old South Church; Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Services, Mission at the Eastward and Safe Voices.
Wears & Wares donated this month to Literacy Volunteers. Did you know 1 in 5 people in Maine struggle to read at even the most basic level? Think about how hard it is to even read our store tags.
