BEHIND THE BRAND
Hi! I’m Amanda —
I’m a proud Latina who has spent the last decade dedicated to building relationships with communities, organizations, and corporations in the U.S. and abroad. I’m a dog mom to Duffy (a one-hundred-pound Great Pyrenees/Lab mix), an intersectional environmentalist, a journalist (check out some of my work), and a passionate secondhand reseller.
It took going through daily anxiety attacks to come to the realization that something had to change. The non-stop hustle, stress, and neglect I had put my mind & body through caught up to me. What I didn't realize, was that there's a time to hustle ANDDDD a time to rest! I wasn't doing the ladder...and I have a feeling I’m not alone in that.
The Slow Seeker was born out of a need to find practical ways to slow down. I often use fashion as a way to do that.
Many of us cope with anxiety and overwhelm by turning to things that might feel like “rest” — think mindless scrolling or binge-watching your go-to shows — but in reality, leaves us feeling MORE tired. I’m here to guide you through alternative, more impacting, ways to cope!
The Slow Seeker’s overarching purpose is care: care for yourself, others, and this planet so, if it sounds right up your alley, WELCOME!
We put all of this into practice through:
The Slow Shop
The Slow Seeker Shop is a curated vintage & thrift shop that aims to reduce textile waste and normalize circular fashion!
I've been scouring the internet for vintage since '07 and am thrilled I now get to look for one-of-a-kind pieces for you too!
I look for versatile and statement pieces that you can easily incorporate into your existing wardrobe! Size inclusivity is VVVV important to me so please know that I try to be mindful of ALL body types. ❤
The Slow Journal
Your no-nonsense space to listen and learn. It wasn’t until I slowed down and listened, that I began to understand my worth and capabilities — we tend to forget both when we’re operating on cruise control or high speed!
I know you're inundated with info so I try to keep my journal entries short & sweet 😘
