Second Life - Fabrics

PAST TREASURES.  FUTURE GARMENTS.

Vintage linens reimagined as timeless clothing.

Second Life – Fabrics is a slow and respectful process. I rescue vintage trousseau linens — fabrics once treasured, stored, and forgotten — and transform them into unique, wearable pieces. Each item celebrates the texture, embroidery and soul of the past, while speaking to the values of today.
These are heirloom materials, reinterpreted for women who value heritage, integrity, and clothing with meaning.

Welcome to Second Life: where the past comes alive in a stylish and sustainable way. In this campaign, I embark on a mission to honour the legacy of our foremothers by transforming vintage trousseau linens into contemporary women's clothing.

In the world of fast fashion, I strive to create something truly unique - pieces that celebrate the artistry and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Each garment is carefully crafted to showcase the intricate embroidery and delicate details that were once cherished and lovingly hand-stitched.

In my pursuit of sustainability, I take pride in preserving the beautiful quality of fabrics from yesteryears. I meticulously select only the finest vintage linens that have stood the test of time. By rescuing unused sheeting, I breathe new life into forgotten treasures, transforming them into wearable art that carries a piece of history.

My designs blend the elegance of the past with a modern twist, offering you an unparalleled fashion experience. With Second Life, you can embrace sustainability without compromising on style. By choosing these designs, you contribute to reducing waste and supporting a more eco-conscious future.
