When it comes to shopping for hand embroidered clothing, everyone has different needs, budgets, and styles. That’s why in my shop you’ll find two collections: my Reclaimed Collection and my Premium New Collection. Both are stitched with the same care, creativity, and love — but they each have their own benefits.
Let’s take a closer look so you can find the right option for you.
✨ The Reclaimed Collection – hand embroidered clothing
The Reclaimed Collection is all about giving clothes a second life. I source pieces from charity shops and online platforms like Vinted — often items that have only been worn once or twice, sometimes practically brand new. For more gently worn pieces, I usually stick to sturdy fabrics like denim and cotton, which hold embroidery beautifully.
Why choose reclaimed?
- Affordable: Perfect if you love hand embroidery but are shopping on a budget.
- Sustainable: Extends the life of clothing and reduces waste.
- Unique: Every reclaimed piece is completely one of a kind.
This collection is proof that you don’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy something beautiful, handmade, and totally unique.
Reclaimed embroidered clothing is also a sustainable fashion choice. By reusing existing garments, it helps extend the life of clothing and reduces textile waste, which is a major issue in the fashion industry.
🌿 The Premium New Collection – hand embroidered clothing
For those who are looking for a truly special piece, the Premium New Collection is where you’ll find it. These are brand-new garments sourced from sustainable suppliers, in a wide range of fabrics and cuts. Whether you love high-waisted jeans, relaxed-fit shorts, or something more tailored, I try to make sure there’s something for every style.
Why choose premium new?
- Quality & Durability: These garments are made to last.
- Extra Detail: Premium new pieces often give me more freedom with fabric choice, cuts, and sizing, which means I can plan more intricate designs and add finishing touches that really elevate the final piece.
- Perfect for Gifts: Fashion lovers and gift buyers often gravitate to these timeless, one-of-a-kind pieces.
Because of the higher cost of materials and the time spent embroidering, premium new pieces are priced higher — but they’re designed to be investment items you’ll wear and treasure for years.
💛 Two Collections, One Philosophy
Whether you choose reclaimed or premium, both collections have the same goal: to give you a piece of hand embroidered clothing that is unique, sustainable, and completely yours.
I want you to feel excited every time you put it on, knowing you’re wearing something nobody else in the world owns!
