rethinking the norm with vintage dresses and recycled textiles
Hello! Welcome to Kitten Surprise!
My name is Marjorie and I have been selling vintage for 15 years and have been sewing since I was a little kid.
I find joy in remaking secondhand garments through reconstruction, deconstruction and mending. I am always thinking of different ways to use up materials and strive to keep my carbon footprint low in the process. To learn more, find me on instagram at @k.s.vtg ! Thank you so much for stopping by!
