HOW OUR BUYBACK WORKS
We will credit you $30 toward a new purchase in exchange for an older Jill McGowan garment. 2 items per customer. Your trade-ins must be in good shape. In other words, no stains, no rips, no alterations. We appreciate you taking the time to shop for your replacement when you drop off your vintage piece. Your treasures have become incredibly popular, and we can’t keep them in stock.

OPEN TO ALL CUSTOMERS NEAR + FAR!

Send us a photo of your Jill design (front and back) to [email protected] and, once we approve and receive it in the mail, we will send you a gift card for $30 to use online or in our store! Questions about how it works? Call 207-772-2199.

My sisters, nieces, and my mom were my very first customers and product testers — the most honest critics and truly priceless muses. My family has been incredibly loyal, standing by me and my shirts through all the highs and lows of running this wild little business. I owe them a deep debt of gratitude.

Here’s a snapshot of the years that have passed, with them wearing and living in my shirts. In our family, they are shared, borrowed, and handed down… lasting for years and years — and years. 🤍
xo, Jill
