Every stitch has a story.

My family is full of seamstresses and artists, but I am the first in my family to be an activist, which is to say: I believe deeply in the small but mighty changes we can all make to make the world a softer, cleaner place.

I'm drawn to clothing with character, especially well-loved, distressed, vintage finds. I’m also interested in items from recognized, modern brands that need a little love — I rescue and transform them into something so much cooler. I love knowing I’ve saved a single item from the landfill, which is why I source most of my items from estate sales, garage sales, and last-stop second-hand shops for donated clothing that would otherwise be burned or discarded.

I especially value sustainably sourced wools, yarns, fabrics, and threads, and use organic dyes (pangaia) with extracts of blueberries, matcha, indigo, clay, pomegranate, beets, turmeric, coffee, and mineral pigments when possible.

All the items you’ll see in my shop are:

• Recycled, rescued, upcycled, and/or vintage

• Cotton or natural blends unless otherwise labeled

• Hand-dyed, embroidered, knit, stenciled, or otherwise beautified

• Pre-washed and shrunk with eco-wash

• Thoughtfully packaged using recycled items to wrap and ship

• Each handmade item includes information about where it was sourced and how many hours it took to process. This excludes the time it takes to source, clean, mend, store, and sort, but just know: a LOT of love (and time!) goes into this work.
