★ Hey! I'm Carmen Merie & TheRuralAdvantage is my shop! ★
For many years this was shop was called repurposefulPUNK. In the last 7 years, my life has headed in a different direction, a slower place away from the hive of the city. We all have to remember where we came from and how we started so you'll still find the classic styles here in my shop.
I love vintage clothing & making new items out of the cool things I find whilst thriftin'. My favorite thing is turning an outrageous 80s sweater into a cute girly dress. My aim is to included upcycled..repurposed..or eco-friendly fabrics and materials in all of my designs.
Current lead-times for Made to Order items is 2-3 weeks. Thanks for your patience {I'm just a one woman sweat-shop}

5 out of 5 starsI can't say enough good things! She was more than communicative through the whole process, she adjusted the pattern to be more flattering to my figure, picked amazing colors to go with the shirt I sent her, it's one of my favorite dresses now!

5 out of 5 starsThis is my new favorite shirt! High qualtiy and well made. The seller was kind enough to make mine a bit differently that pictures. My questions were answered quickly and the shirt came exactly as I requested! I might just have to order more!
