Custom Design and Upcycling: Give Your Clothes New Life
Stop buying new when your closet is already full of potential. Let’s take your basics and turn them into something that feels like you.
A customer asked how to style the custom boho jacket I made. In this video, I show two different looks, one with shorts and another with jeans, to give her some inspiration.
About this collection
You don't need a whole new wardrobe to look fresh. Take this boho jacket I worked on—we took a basic denim piece and added shells and tassels to change the entire vibe. Whether you have a jacket, a saree blouse that feels outdated, or just a pair of jeans you never wear, bring them to me. We will figure out a way to reinvent them together. It is better for your pocket and much better for the planet too.
Sometimes the best outfit is the one you already own but haven't seen the potential in yet. My approach to upcycling is simple: we look at your existing pieces and identify how we can tweak them to match your current vibe.
Why Upcycle?
- Sustainability: Keep clothes out of landfills and reduce consumption.
- Uniqueness: You get a piece that is truly one of a kind, not mass-produced.
- Cost-Effective: Often, a few hours of styling or minor tailoring work costs a fraction of buying a new designer outfit.
How We Can Collaborate
Whether you are in Delhi or connecting virtually, we can work on your pieces.
- The Wardrobe Audit: I help you sort through your closet. We pull out items that have 'good bones' and decide how to modify them.
- Custom Embellishment: Like the boho jacket project, I can help you source trims, shells, or fabrics to add to denim, jackets, or ethnic wear.
- Restyling: Sometimes you don't even need to sew. I teach you how to layer, drape, or pair items you thought were 'done' to make them look brand new.
Don't be confused by the idea of 'designing.' It is really just about letting go of what you think you should wear and finding what makes you feel happy. If you have an idea in your head, let’s bring it out. Shukrana for letting me be a part of your style journey.
