slow fashion
Hi, I am Angie !
Based in AMSTERDAM, I bring forth unique and captivating upcycled fashion, drawing inspiration from ancient Japanese needlework techniques like boro boro & sashiko.
All my creations are meticulously hand-embroidered. Stitch by stitch.
I love upcycling.
Breathing new life into pre-loved denim fills me with JOY.
'Mindful craftsmanship' captures the spirit of my work.
Using natural and upcycled materials, I transform denim fashion into a personalised experience.
Please, feel free to reach out for any questions or inquiries.
I’d really love to hear from you!
HANDMADE
All my creations are entirely handmade by me, with great care & attention to detail. While crafting is my absolute PASSION, I prefer to keep it as a cherished hobby rather than a full-time job, so the JOY OF CREATING remains intact.
That's why I focus on offering my unique, handcrafted pieces to A SELECT HAPPY FEW who truly appreciate them !
SUSTAINABLE
Everything I embroider or decorate by hand is made with UPCYCLED, PRE-LOVED DENIM. I love to add value by making it more beautiful and give it a second, better & longer life.
It takes 7,000 liters of water (and plenty of chemicals) to make ONE pair of jeans. Can you believe it?
Therefore, produce more? No. Reuse more? YES.
Together, we can make a positive impact!
EYE-CATCHING & UNIQUE
Mindful stitching and attention to detail makes every single of my creations special and unique.
Each piece is truly one-of-a-kind:
YOUR VERY OWN LITTLE PIECE OF WEARABLE ART !
It's so fun to LOOK EFFORTLESSLY STYLISH wearing unique, upcycled hand embroidered jeans or jackets!
TRULY COOL !
That’s what people tell me in the street when I’m wearing my hand-embroidered denim garments.
The truth is, I LOVE the things I create...
Otherwise I wouldn’t embroider, wear & sell them, would I ?
HERE'S MY SECRET:
I put a lot of my time and A BIG PART OF MY HEART in every single piece that comes out of my hands !
Love what you see?
Transform your own denim wardrobe

To cut a long story short...
This journey began with my passion for sashiko hand embroidery. Before I knew it, my closet was filled with my own creations...
And yes, I wear them almost every day!
From there, I started creating for others and selling my work. A one-women venture. The rest is history.

I sincerely hope YOU love wearing
your upcycled jeanswear
as much as I love making them!

Thankfully, I’ve made a trip to the hairdresser since then!
