Description
Welcome to my boutique of Born Again Originals! Each item is a one of kind, not to be seen ever on anyone else, for I create my designs by starting with a discarded, thrift store find, then reconstruct, embellish with appliques, or mixture of other parts of thrift clothing, trims, buttons, whatever to ensure that each creation is different and never the same. Just as you are…a one of kind, so you have found the right place….come and spend a little time perusing through these designs. The work you will find is diverse and unique….an eclectic mix of materials, textures and patterns. This upcycled top I named“Emmi” a top reconstructed using Thrift store finds of a flannel long sleeve shirt, vintage doilies, buttons and a printed tshirt. Colors are: peach, green, yellow, blue, black, white
Fabrics: The plaid flannel 100% Rayon, the center tshirt 100% cotton, the vintage doilies cotton, and plastic buttons. The beauty of wearing refashioned clothing from secondhand items is to tell the world that you care about the environment I take that discarded item and give it new life in a new unique way. Each piece is handmade and any little imperfections, I feel is all part of the “hand” in the process. I design each piece as if I were going to wear it myself, thus difficult at times to see them go.
This is a NON RETURNABLE ITEM! Please take note of the measurements below.
