meet lexi & molly

How we ended up here

self proclaimed “the cutest best friends,” molly & lexi met at purdue university as transfer students and have been attached at the hip since. they've worked their way up and into this new world of textiles, starting out as a save-the-ocean dreaming scientist and juggling-all-the-things marketing manager. they feel called to treat mother earth more kindly through sustainable living choices, and are passionate about inspiring fellow creatives to find joy in the small things, like learning something new and creating with your hands. we love adventuring together and couldn't think of a more iconic adventure than starting a business.

The Eclective's Mission

the eclective is meant to inspire people of all backgrounds and ages to slow down and lean into the simpler things in life for the sole purpose of joy and creativity.

our longterm vision is to incorporate a sustainability side of the business, where we curate unique collections of existing textiles for our customers to choose from, sourcing from thrift stores. we realize that putting new products into the world contributes to the environment crisis the world faces today, and want to do our part to highlight the importance and magic of buying second hand.

until then, we strive to approach these new fabrics from an eco-friendly angle by ordering only in small batches based on demand, printing on high quality cotton using organic inks, and re-purposing all sample orders into sewing projects to avoid waste.
