This bag was made from handwoven cotton scraps dyed with natural indigo, which I collected from a rural weaving community in Northeastern Thailand (Isan). The artisans harvest raw cotton plants for fiber and use natural indigo to create the deep blue color. Seeing the incredible care that goes into every stage of production made me deeply appreciate even the smallest leftover scraps. I took these pieces, patched them together, and hand-stitched them using the Sashiko technique to turn the fabric remnants into a unique, meaningful bag.
This linen crop top is made entirely from upcycled linen scraps, pieced together using freeform patchwork and detailed with hand-stitching using leftover threads. For the design, I drew inspiration from 17th-century women—imagining their voluminous skirts paired with an imperfect, raw-textured top. To me, it forms a surprisingly beautiful harmony.

Shoulder bag made out of one of my first ever cargo pants bought years ago, deconstructed and reconstructed as a bag, shoulder straps has been made out of vintage curtains and powered from a solar panel system out of my van in the biggest workshop we can find, in nature :) #thriftflip
