vintage fabric...reborn and recycled...








    today I wanted to share the work of  local artist Callie of Rebirth Recycling..."Rebirth Recycling" (in her own words) is "Handsewn Upcycled Clothing Inspired by Boro Mending"...I'm a huge fan of Callie's talents, her hand-work is exceptional...Her original pieces are a melody of colors and a stunning mix of textures and the best part, almost all of Callie's work includes original vintage threads and textiles...
You can follow Rebirth Recycling on instagram @rebirthrecy or
you can check-out her Etsy store HERE and
you can contact Callie anytime via her website www.rebirthrecycling.com

Vintage Tommy Hilfiger...





  hard to believe but Vintage Tommy Hilfiger is now a thing...these 1990s Classics have found their way to young collectors...look for the big Logos, big Lettering and over-the-top Cheesy Designs...nice examples (above) are easily bringing in the $200 to $300 range...Rare pieces (below) like the Sailing Jacket, the Ferrari Formula Jacket and the Pop Star Jacket have recently surpassed the $500 mark!...I expect to start seeing similar numbers for Tommy shoes, shirts, caps and accessories...time marches on...Happy Hunting
