Reclaimed Vintage is my way of giving garments a second life.
Sourced and curated with a vision of how the garment will look after I finished dyeing it.

No loss of colour- can be washed at medium heat - low tumbling recommended.
If you have the posibility to hang it to dry, don't tumble it at all- that way it lasts longer.
Textiles and garments deserve to be valued and taken care of.
Upcycling is a revolutionary act.
We need to move away from fast fashion, that is made to be worn only a short ammount of time, before it gets damaged and ends up in landfills.
Be a part of the change!
Vintage items were made at a time where the production process was slower and more detailed, textiles were precious and clothing was made to last a lifetime.
The items I curate are hand-picked and tested for quality, dyed, labeled and stamped with a unique number.
I mostly work with silk.
