About The Loft
Giving good things a second life.
A small resale store in Arlington, Virginia, run by two people who can't walk past a well-made object.
Gretchen and Michael.
We're Gretchen and Michael, the founders of The Loft. We've always seen the beauty in objects and admired the craftsmanship of earlier eras.
Neither of us is formally trained in design. The store is simply a reflection of our obsession with collecting things and giving them a second chance. Our style runs classic, industrial, historic and monumental.
Every pre-owned object purchased means one less new one produced. Will that save the planet? No. But it's a start, and buying one of our pieces is a small step toward reducing the footprint of homewares manufacturing. We love reuse, keeping stories alive, and making buying pre-owned easy and fun.
What we stand for
Three promises on every piece.
Inspected and disclosed
We check every item before it is listed and write down what we find. No surprises at pickup.
Priced to move
Up to 90% below retail, and open to offers. Good things should find homes, not sit in a warehouse.
Second lives, not landfills
Everything here was headed for the dump before EcoFurn collected it. Buying it keeps it in use.
