Introducing DECHOES
ABOUT US
Created in 2002 by Kerri and Mike Colangelo, Dechoes brought a new concept to Orlando: purchase items outright while mixing vintage, contemporary, and high end designer pieces. Dechoes is a space where sustainability and fashion live side by side in an elevated, edgy boutique. We have two locations in the greater Orlando area.
OUR COMMITMENT TO
SUSTAINABILITY
At the core of what we do is sustainability. Commit to the nothing-new generation and chose second-hand.
Globally, humans throw away a whopping 13 million tons of clothing a year. 95% of those can be reused or recycled. We are a small fraction of what it takes to clean up the earth but chosing second-hand gives clothes new life and keeps them from the landfill.
