be curious

  • Hello POOKIE GIRL! POOKIE’s is a lovingly curated resale store dedicated to making the old feel new again. Each piece is handpicked for its character, quality, and story—bringing timeless style into the present. From unique finds to classic staples, POOKIE’s celebrates individuality, nostalgia, and the beauty of overlooked well-loved treasures reimagined for today.

    POOKIE is a term of endearment that captures a soft, playful spark—the part of us that’s curious, expressive, and joyfully alive. To call someone “Pookie” regardless of their age or gender is to recognize warmth without rules, affection without armor. And the twist? We all carry a little Pookie Girl inside: the inner voice that wants to play, create, make messes, giggle, try again, and feel deeply present. It’s the permission to be tender and bold at once—to move through the world with heart open, imagination lit, and life fully felt.

    POOKIE’S STUDIO is a place for those girls: a carefully curated vibrant digital studio and resale boutique of ever-evolving second-hand finds, handcrafted fine art, and custom mix-media designs from a diverse collective of unique American women creatives. It was founded in 2026 by Hillary Archer (formerly CECIL JANUS SHOP). Rooted in bold simplicity, weird elegance, and timeless allure, our limited-edition collections offer something for everyone while celebrating individuality, comfort, imperfection, and beauty.

  • We are primarily an online re-sale studio of second-hand/vintage clothing, accessories, and housewares, original fine art, and mixed media designs. All collections are set, styled, and photographed in-studio by the Founder, Hillary Archer.

    POOKIE’S is also available for a variety of in-house services including: personal shopping, personal/commercial styling, trend research, prop sourcing, private party planning, menu design, catering, portraiture, tailoring, costume design, branding/marketing, personal styling, modeling, filmmaking/video editing, photography, website design, graphic design, project management, and so much more. Please contact us for possibilities! We are always eager to connect on new ideas and projects.

  • At POOKIE’S every piece is carefully hand selected by the Founder. We love to create worlds and experiences around each item’s unique characteristics so it resonates just right with our customers.

    Key to our ethos is sustainability, by sourcing entirely second-hand products and eco-friendly materials. We’re committed to reduce, reuse, recycle—every POOKIE item, and even the packaging it arrives in, has been recycled in some way, thoughtfully reimagined to give materials a second (or third) life. All our packaging is also made from plant-based, 100% post-consumer recycled content designed to decompose after use. As our community grows, we remain rooted in a lean production model while minimizing waste out of respect for our sustaining, containing ecosystem.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page, Instagram messenger, or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

  • We offer competitive market pricing to make POOKIE’S affordable and accessible to all.

  • We offer new and old pieces in standard U.S. sizes, with fit details listed on each item to help you find the best match. Because sizing can vary by era and brand, we include exact measurements so you can compare and shop with confidence.

  • We ship both nationwide and internationally with reliable carriers. Free shipping is complimentary on all orders over $100 (domestic only). Shipping rates, delivery times, and tracking details are provided at checkout. International customers are responsible for any customs duties or taxes.

  • Yes! We love discovering new creators, brands, and ideas that align with the POOKIE spirit. We welcome any seeding or PR Package submissions for a curated review process where select samples and proposals are considered for potential features, future drops, or campaigns.

    You’re welcome to mail to us for consideration (ATTN: POOKIE PILE!) While we can’t guarantee placement or collaboration, every POOKIE PILE submission is thoughtfully reviewed by our team. If it feels like a fit, we’ll be in touch. Keep it playful, expressive, and true to POOKIE’S.
