Hi! My name is Kristin, I’m a compounding pharmacy tech and also currently a senior in the Radiologic Technology program at my local college. I’m a wife, mama, and dog mom too! I adore anything vintage, and I love to upcycle/rework outdated items into something new. While going to school is pretty much a full time job in itself, I work in the pharmacy when I can and also sell my reworked items to make up the difference. Thank you so much for your support, I’m so grateful for every single sale!

Magic Threads Studio focuses upon fostering creative self expression via clothing & accessories.

Clothing & accessories are like magic threads, weaving the stories of our inner & outer expression together. What we wear and accessorize with, how they’re embellished and what colors & symbols we’re drawn to are an outward expression of our inner worlds. These items are like Magic Threads which weave the tapestry of our lives together, changing as we change in order to reflect who we’ve now become.

We offer one-of-a kind and few-of-a-kind handbags, totes, clothing and accessories.  All the bags and skirts are constructed from vintage and/or repurposed textiles, the quilted jackets start life as sweatshirts and I transform them using a mix of vintage & repurposed fabrics to create 1 of 1 statement pieces.

Kici Art Jewelry features bracelets and earrings crafted using rare vintage beads, coral, crystals, beach glass, semi-precious stones and antique silver and brass.  Using carved, painted and hand made beads, each is completely unique and evokes patterns in nature.  Some sparkle and many are full of motion reflecting light and shadow.  Comfortable, adjustable and easy to wear, each is a one of a kind art piece to enjoy every day or on special occasions. I can design to meet your specifications on color, stones, types of beads and bling!

My raw materials come from broken vintage jewelry.  After 30 + years, strings break and necklaces end up in thrift shops in bags and in tag sales.  I have also collected costume jewelry for years myself and sometimes a piece speaks to me to be taken apart, recombined with other jewels, beads, and semi-precious stones.  I have lots of coral in all colors, stones, old pearls, delightful plastic Bakelite beads in all colors.  Once I retired, I got to play with the thousands of beads I collected over the past 50 years.  I get totally excited when someone appreciates and enjoys wearing my art works!  I started with bracelets but plan to branch out into earrings soon!  Tell me what colors you want to combine and I will design to your needs!  Big and bold or delicate and small!  Just let me know! 

Hi! I’m Audrey. Welcome to Sensible Slacks!

I create upcycled and original items in a bid to slow down clothing consumption and lessen clothing waste. My items incorporate as many reused materials as possible. Often, the only new component is a bit of thread.

Each piece is one of a kind. Pieces are designed with functionality and longevity in mind. Wear and damage on an item is used to guide my redesign, creating a renewed piece that is ready for a second life.

You can expect your item to ship quickly, in reused and re-useable packaging.

Thank you for your interest! Please feel free to get in touch with any comments or questions.

What is Repurposed?

We value the individual and create one-of-a-kind redesigned pieces made from repurposed clothing that honor the uniqueness of each person. While garments are currently designed for women, we intend to also create designs for men. Embedded in our mission is the concept of building an environment of trust and openness that allows our community to find meaning, purpose and passion amidst the difficulties of environmental, pandemic and social-political change. Our hope is to cultivate a welcoming community of people who want to relax and celebrate their uniqueness with comfortable fun fashion, and mental and physical wellbeing. We will explore together how to cope in sustainable and conscious ways in a changing world.

The concept of Repurposed is not just a place where clothes are given a new life and second chance, but is also a metaphor for people to repurpose and find new aspects of their life, and inspire their own self-purpose.

Our intention is for you to realize your purpose and where to cultivate it on this planet. Repurposed acts as a reminder that everything and everyone can be a source of inspiration. There is always more to learn. We are constantly evolving.

Nuumuus (pronounced “new moos”) started in 2021 with a pun and a donation of old muumuus from my friend’s mom.

Everything at Nuumuus is made with salvaged fabric and sewn with aloha. 

Our clothing is not just about covering your body. It’s about creative expression, intention, and transformation. It’s about taking old garments and old ideas and transforming them to fit a new world where compassion rules.

Hello! I’m Anna Elyse, I am from Houston TX, and an enthusiastic creator. I am a self-taught artist and have been working with all kinds of mediums from early childhood. I was taught to sew by my crafty mother, at the age of eleven and found a love of creating garments.

Each piece is completely original and handmade specifically for the wearer who acquires it. My mission is to make a way for the wearer of my garments to be most comfortable in clothing that fits them to their personal liking.

​

My mission is to make and share clothes that look good, allow an individual to feel good, and work harder to be good for the environment. I hope you’ll find something you love here!

Hi, my name is Timothy Visos, welcome to Visos Designs.

I am an artist and engineer that upcycles thrifted fits into wearable art! My art and style could be categorized as vintage fashion, streetwear, and skate. Although, like many creative types, labels are lame and breaking down social constructs and gender norms are common in my art. I like to draw skulls, graffiti, fun characters, and groovy retro designs.

I currently use bleach to add my art to outfits but am always looking for new and creative ways to upcycle fashion. I’ve done commissions for local vintage stores, 

bands, and people looking for unique, one-of-a-kind outfits. Please reach out if you want me to work on your next creative project or check out my store to purchase one of my pieces.
