    From Executive Admin to CEO

    I was pretty much a hobby sewer until 2006 when an event called swap-o-ramma literally changed my life. It was there that the light bulb in my head went off and it hasnt burned out since. I started designing with reconstructed fashion and as I tore garments apart and reassembled them I learned as I went and evolved into creating my own designs.

    Using mostly recycled vintage sheets and fabrics my designs are eco-friendly and made of 80-100% reclaimed textiles. Even my zippers and notions are bought second hand. My designs are a 60s meets 80s eclectic and whimsical style. Full of fun characters from my childhood like Holly Hobbie, Strawberry Shortcake, and Rainbow Brite to name a few. Many people have said my designs remind them of their childhood. And thats my intent. To make fashion thats fun, and gives you a personal feeling about wearing it.

    Ive always been eclectic. Ive never been one to follow the masses and wear whats trendy. And I also believe in a cause. Every year its estimated that the average person discards 85lbs of clothing. Multiply that by millions of people just in the USA alone. Thats a lot of textile waste. I believe its important to use what we have, as it seems we have an abundance of it. Yet the fashion industry keeps creating more and more. Its important to me to raise awareness of these issues, and I do that by keeping my designs eco-friendly.

    I source all my materials from second hand retailers, yard sales and flea markets. I conceptualize and design all of my garments. Every item is unique and one of a kind. Its proudly sweatshop free :)

    About my products:

    I take pride in everything I make as If I am making it for myself. I only want the best, so you will only get the best!

    * I am proud to say I use at least 80% recycled materials in my projects.

    * My bags are always lined with Decor Bond Interfacing. I absolutely love this as it provides the right amount of stability without sacrificing flexibility. Its also machine washable which I love!

    * You can toss any of my bags in the machine wash! I highly recommend placing them inside a netted nylon bag or pillowcase first.

    *Air dry handbags and then iron on med-high with dry iron..

    * I scotch guard each and every bag. And the handles are double or triple stitched.

    * All Clothing is serged when applicable according to seam type.

    *If you need alterations on a garment at any time after purchase I will be happy to accommodate you. I will charge an $12 flat fee per garment and you will pay shipping one way.

    * Due to the nature of materials some items may have blemishes and or stains. If so they will be noted.
