I started thinking about what people donate. So often it is items that can’t be bought and worn immediately, or it is garments people won’t ever want. This clothing is stained, damaged, and covered in corporate logos that no one recognizes. These were the pieces I wanted to work with! To bleach out the stains, fix the damage, and cover those unrecognizable logos with unique and fun designs. I wanted to turn this unwanted clothing into one-of-a-kind pieces that people would cherish; this is when THREADED was born.
