‘Re-Inventory’ started in 2016 as an in-house initiative to revitalize not-yet-sold inventory. Due to the ever-changing nature of fashion, items in our wardrobe can end up feeling out-dated, but that doesn’t mean they are useless.  I wanted to challenge myself to find ways of transforming older designs into a revitalized/fresh version through cutting up, adding on, dying, or other alterations.

The first ‘Re-Inventory’ concept started with he AW17 Pull-Over Pleated Raglan - when the design was revisited, it was cut in a way that created both the Pleated Cardigan and the Pleated Tank.

In addition to re-worked inventory, Re-Inventory now includes clothing, accessories, and home-goods developed from fabrics, trims, buttons, beads and scraps in the studio. Everything is made on a small scale of 1-5 items per style.

COLLABORATE + CUSTOM PROGRAM

If you are interested in breathing fresh energy into tired belongings, let’s talk! I would love to work with you on ways to re-invigorate or re-purpose your wardrobe.

say you have pieces of clothing that you used to love but aren’t loving so much anymore- I can work with you to transform them into new items that you want to wear or use. // or perhaps your favorite blouse is beyond repair, but you love the embroidery, we can turn it into an entirely new item for your home.

There are endless ways to re-use materials around us. I’m often thinking about how innovation and design can further a products’ life-cycle.

If you’re interested in working together please get in touch. We’ll set up a time to talk about your project in-dept before we put together an individual sketch and proposal for you. Pricing varies depending on complexity, labor, and materials. Sliding scale is available.

I also offer virtual skill-share for at-home sewing, alterations and basic patternmaking.
