Hello, my name is Tamara Embrey and I make these one –of-a-kind pieces from 99% upcycled materials, sourced from thrift stores, garage sales, and the occasional "attic clean out". Each piece is my own original design, carefully and lovingly hand crafted, one-at-a-time, (by me) with a fabric draping technique, ensuring that each garment comes out with it's own life and personality.

Now my love for elegant design AND thrift-store shopping , my jagged-edge sensibilities, and my concern for the environment have a place to come together in my ("fabulous") vintage-inspired designs.

CUSTOM ORDERS: Ask me. If you're in the DC area, come see my work at the TORPEDO FACTORY ART CENTER, Fiberworks, Studio 14.
