A New Take on Slow Fashion

We bring new life into old textiles by creating one of a kind pieces.

Sewing + Thrifting= Sustainability  

Hand Sewn in Long Beach

We make every piece in our home studio and partner with local boutiques like Lucky Penny, Library of Technics, 6th and Detroit, and Prism Boutique

One of a Kind Pieces

We source each textile searching for unique colors. Most patterns are handcrafted or I use an indie pattern maker

Old Textiles, New Life

What once would’ve ended up in a landfill or stuffed in an attic is turned into a one of a kind pieces that is enjoyed for years to come
