GLOSS AND GRIT
A fashion and beauty edit for women who know beauty can be polished, personal, and real at the same time.
We find beauty where others overlook it.
Gloss & Grit was built on second chances, strong taste, and the belief that what you wear should feel like more than just another thing in your closet.
beauty + resilience
Gloss & Grit started with a simple belief: beauty and resilience are not opposites. They belong together.
The gloss is the styling, the shine, the pieces that make you stop scrolling. The grit is the story, the resourcefulness, the refusal to dismiss something just because it has been overlooked before.
That is why our edit brings together new arrivals, beauty staples, pre-owned finds, designer pieces, and accessible favorites with one clear point of view. Gloss for the beauty and Grit for the story behind it.
The styling. The shine.
The story underneath it.
Style with a point of view.
Curation
Every item is hand-selected with precision and purpose. We don't carry everything -- just the right things.
Accessibility
Designer quality at attainable price points. Refined style shouldn't require a luxury budget.
Intentionality
Each piece tells a story worth wearing. New and pre-owned can belong together when both are chosen with care.
Honesty
Items are presented clearly. Condition details included when relevant. No inflated claims, no empty aesthetics.
You should know exactly what you are getting.
New and pre-owned can live in the same edit when both are chosen with care and labeled clearly.
A note from behind the edit.
Gloss & Grit was born from a simple belief: that great value shouldn't come with a single price point — or a single story.
Founded by Téah in Sarasota, Florida, Gloss & Grit started as a personal mission to make curated fashion and beauty accessible without sacrificing quality or intention.
What began as a love of discovering beautiful things — a perfectly structured bag, a luminous skincare find, a dress that makes you stand taller — became a boutique built for women who want more from their wardrobe and their shopping experience.
Gloss is the finish: the beauty, the polish, the editorial eye. Grit is the backbone: the resourcefulness, the sustainability, the refusal to follow trends blindly.
The name is personal. Téah built Gloss & Grit during her own season of starting over — and along the way, second chances stopped being just a sourcing philosophy. They became the whole point. A pre-owned piece given new life. A woman rebuilding and discovering who she is becoming. Neither one is finished. Both are worth believing in.
Clear product details. Clear policies.
We're proud to call Sarasota, FL home — a city that blends coastal ease with genuine sophistication. That energy lives in everything we carry: effortless but considered, relaxed but refined.
Whether you're shopping from our storefront or your phone, you'll find pieces curated with the same care we'd put into our own closets. Some pieces ship from our in-house inventory with in-store pick-up available, while select items ship through brand partners. Shipping timelines and return details are listed on product pages and in our policy pages.
