Recap Remix (pt 2)

Next up features the new 3-pocket design I created using the leftover vinyl I had from my previous Mini Wallet style (and there's still more vinyl for me to play with). These were actually inspired by a friend who wanted a Rothko color scheme. I took my liberties but was happy with the results.  I'm currently selling some of them on my Etsy, and you can also check out RE:UP Handmade on Instagram here!

If you're in Los Angeles, you can find the new style at one of DTLA's only bike shops (El Maestro's Bicycle Shop, pictured here). Per usual, these are great for carrying all the essentials (cash, business cards, credit cards, and ID) while looking fly on the go and supporting your local. xo

RE:UP HANDMADE UPDATE! New Wallets up on Etsy!

So I finally updated my Etsy and you can now purchase my mini wallets HERE!

Check out some of what is up for sale (I may be putting up a couple pieces of vintage as well):

Re:Up Handmade

I started making and selling these mini wallets as a way to use excess fabric/clothing/whatever I had or didn't know what to do with. They made their debut at a one day pop-up shopping event I helped to put on called Winter Local, held at the Chicago Artists' Coalition back in December. Since then, I've launched an etsy shop (which I am building up my stock and working on developing new accessories for) named Re:Up Handmade Goods, as the materials I use are reclaimed or upcycled. The name also is a small homage to a certain rap duo that I like. Can anyone guess who?

My wallets are also being sold at Green Grocer in the West Town neighborhood of Chicago.

Re:Up Handmade helped to motivate me to start really working towards my goal of creating a small apparel and accessories line of items geared towards sustainability, streamlined function, and unique + understated design. They're perfect for holding the essentials: credit card, transit pass, business cards, and several folded up bills.

I'll be updating more about Re:Up when I've got new items to share. Until then, here are some unedited shots!
